About this

A guide on how to host and plan a Halloween party online, including tips on invitations, decorations, games, and technology setup.

Plan the party a week in advance to get everything in place.
Give plenty of notice to guests so they can plan around other virtual parties.
Use downloadable invitations from places like Etsy that can be edited and sent online.
Set up a small table with Halloween decorations and treats to make the space feel like a real party.
Use balloon garlands to create a festive backdrop for your Zoom call.
Email game sets to guests so they can print them off themselves.
Ensure all guests have a device with a camera (laptop, PC, Mac, iPad, tablet, or phone) and internet access.
Connect through apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, Facetime, Zoom, or Skype.
Consider hooking up your device to a TV via HDMI or Chromecast for a larger screen.
Do a test run with un-tech-savvy guests a day or two before the party.
Make Halloween food to show off, such as spooky eye cupcakes or marshmallow pops.
