How to Throw a Party for Older Kids
Tweens and teens can be a tough audience when it comes to Halloween. They want to have fun but don’t want to appear childish in front of their friends. They may be at an age where cutesy Halloween decorations and activities that they used to love are now too "lame" for them. So, step into their transitional phase of life by throwing a Halloween bash that they’ll think is cool and not embarrassing. Throw a party that is a bit spooky, a little bit funny and serve lots of tasty food for their often-voracious appetites. We created a mad-scientist laboratory theme for our party with lots of mysterious gadgets, neon-glowing specimen jars, fun games and plenty of snacks and treats.
