Terrifying tech for Halloween hosts

Planning a Halloween party can be a complicated task. You need to think about music, food, drinks, and most importantly, making sure your guests actually show up. Luckily, there are tech tips and tricks to make such things easier every step of the way. Since there are so many elements to a successful party, we’re going to examine each of them—from the original concept to the finishing touches—and then point you to the sites and tech you can use to take your soirée to the next level.

Themes

The first decision you need to make concerns a theme for your party and how seriously you’re going to commit to it. If you’re throwing a small, simple party, you probably don’t need to set a theme besides just having a general Halloween party, but you should have a plan. The easiest way to have your party overwhelm you is to not plan it at all.

A theme is especially important for Halloween parties because it affects your guests as well. You’ll want to let your guests know the theme as early as possible so they can plan their costumes. You’ll also want to get a good costume of your own that fits the theme.

You can, of course, buy your costume online. Amazon has an entire Halloween section that’s fast and easy. If you need accessories ThinkGeek has great items such as this high-end Lightsaber or the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver for your Doctor Who outfit.
