Any tips/ recipes/ decorating ideas for a babies first Halloween party. Our family are going away for a weekend with 3 other families and I’m the only one who is big on Halloween so said I’d decorate/ throw a little party etc but on a pretty small budget so any budget friends let ideas would be gratefully received! Thanks!

Sorry forgot to say that each family has a baby ranging in age from 4 to 9 months old 😊

I wouldn't bother for a group of babies that young.

Decorations can be anything tbh, the pound shops will have loads in.

Food wise- I assume for the adults?
Toffee apples etc go on Pinterest it will have loads of ideas like the hot dog fingers etc

This is a list of ideas

Buy decorations and play some really spooky music. But do not forget that children that young will not remember a party. So with that in mind, do not go overboard with anything, keep it very simple and easy. Go to the pound shops or check on Amazon for stuff. You could just have a low key party with low cost items and food and games.

I agree with PPs who say children won't remember the party, so do it mostly for the adults but do not scare the LOs with music or scary sounds. You can do Halloween collages with famous villians to decorate the walls with, and play chilling music, Spotify has tons of playlists for that ( open.spotify.com/artist/4OfDxabDQVhfThUuSS19za or open.spotify.com/artist/2btGgaxXo1xYZZjVjm26rL). You may also use a halloween slideshow creator to make a spooky video and play it for the guests while they come. I don't know much about Halloween recipes but there are various food colorings that can be used to spice the look of the dishes up.

I think Apple bobbing for the adults sounds like fun Smile
