- Host a costume birthday party with card stock mask invitations and costume theme activities, such as mask and crown making and costume shaped cookie decorating. Arrange with an entertainment provider to have a princess visit the party for stories, crafts games and other activities. For a teenager or adult Halloween party, host a masquerade ball at a rented banquet hall. Encourage guests to come dressed in any types of costume or plan a theme for the event, such as scary creatures, famous couples or cartoon characters. Hire a DJ for the evening and rent orange strobe lights. Rent a dry ice machine to give a fog-like ground cover affect for a spooky masquerade evening of dancing.
- Spend a spooky Halloween birthday party on a ghost tour with a local ghost touring provider. Parties can be arranged with age appropriate stories and activities. Some venues offer tours through local folklore haunted areas with presentations and stories by experienced staff. For a cold weather Halloween party, host the event at home or at an indoor venue and have the entertainment providers bring the stories to the venue. Topics that can be discussed include ghosts, the afterlife and other supposed paranormal creatures. For an all-inclusive party, some venues provide birthday cake, party bags and ghost theme candy.
- Turn the home into a haunted house for a scary Halloween birthday party. The party can be catered to any age group, from young children through adults. You can purchase or rent noise making and mechanical props for the event. Host the event in the evening and, for older party groups, make sure the party area is kept dark for maximum thrills and chills. If the budget allows, set up the haunted house through multiple rooms in the home and lead the party group through the scenes. Award a small prize to everyone who makes it through the tour and a grand prize for the bravest guest.
- Host a murder mystery birthday party for teenagers and adults. Purchase a murder mystery scenario from a related entertainment provider and stage the party venue to coordinate with the scenario. Provide a description of the character each guest will play with the party invitation along with costume recommendations. Begin the game as soon as the guests arrive and follow the scenario according to the script. Award prizes at the end for the person who solved the mystery, the best costume and the most theatrical performance. Clean mysteries with no murder, gruesome or adult content are available for younger teen groups.
