What would Halloween be without delicious candy, some very crazy costumes and those fun decorations? Well,
Country Style decided to throw a vintage Halloween party for a bunch of girls with the help of some very smart moms and party expert Timothy Siciliano of Party Partners.
Here's what it takes to have your own kid-friendly vintage Halloween party:
- Decorate the front porch or door with decorations that are reproductions of ones made in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
- Decorate the dining table with a layered crepe paper runner embellished with ribbon trim. Cut the edges of the paper with scalloped craft scissors for a finishing detail.
- Fill papier-mâché cat or pumpkin containers with candy corn, licorice, wax soda bottles, popcorn balls, apples and big lollipops.
- Let the children dress up once they arrive at the party. Provide simple costumes like ladybug wings, paper masks and draping capes--or have materials on hand so they can make their own!
- Pass out noisemakers like tin party horns, whistles and metal clackers.
