Capture Spooky Fun Memories With Chicago’s Best Halloween Party Add-On

If you’re looking to plan the ultimate Halloween party that will haunt your guests with delight, we have you covered. With just about every house and venue on the corner hosting a Halloween party, your event can be the stand-out with these pro tips and secret party add-on. 

So look out Chi town, the party is about to arrive. 

Make Memories With Haunted Locations, Themes, and Decor

Chicago Halloween events are all about the details. Where a lot of people go wrong when it comes to Halloween is they go too crazy with too much and it just looks uncohesive. So start with your venue as your base and build everything else around it. Check out our pro tips for creating boo-tiful events rather than messy ones. 

1. 🏚️ Location: The best venues for Halloween parties are rooftop bars, historic hotels, and one-of-a-kind venues. Find a place that offers an edge of allure and already has that rustic feel you can play off of. 
2. 🥳 Theme: When it comes to a theme try to pick one that hasn’t been overplayed. Look to pop culture for new ideas. I’m thinking “The Era Of The Undead” would be pretty bomb! 
3. 👺 Decor: Once you pick your theme, then you can go crazy with decor. But again, make sure everything you get is aligned with your theme. With every prop, spooky skeleton, and bloody goblin, ask yourself “Does this serve a purpose at my party?” 

Plan A Spooktacular Costume Contest

The costume contest is the pinnacle of any good Halloween party. So don’t be lame and just give out one award. Take the time to plan out your costume contest, how it will be run, what categories you’ll have, and what prizes you’ll give out. Tease your guests by mentioning the contest on your party invites.  

Halloween Party Costume Contest Categories: 

1. Scariest
2. Cutest
3. Funniest
4. Most Creative
5. Most Realistic
6. Coolest Handmade Costume
7. Group/Couple
