5 Tips for an Easy Halloween Party Menu

• Keep it simple.  Don’t over do it when it comes to planning your Halloween menu.  Less can be more, especially when you are serving fun and creeping foods.
• Take help from the store.  Serving a combination of homemade and store bought food will keep your stress level down.  That means you will enjoy your party more!
• Name the food something fun.  Foods like Bugles {cone shaped snacks} can be called Witches Fingernails, Breadsticks could be called Skeleton Bones.  Whatever your menu is…get creative and make it Halloween themed.
• Have guests help but be specific.  People always want to know what they can bring to any kind of gathering.  Take them up on the offer but be specific.  Let them know exactly what you need so that you have what your menu requires.
• Serve interactive food.  Whether that is a taco bar where guests can customize their own toppings or a fun dessert they can assemble, guests will love it.
