Halloween Party Tip
Without a doubt, your Halloween party is going to be a huge success. But, don’t let all of the ghosts, goblins, and witches go home empty-handed. Rather, prepare a treat bag for all of your guests. There’s a lot of candy distributed at parties and on Halloween night. Rather than filling the bag with all candy, mix in mini bags of pretzels or other non-sweet treats. And, include small toy treats, depending upon the age group.
Importantly, find out if any of your guests have food allergies before you prepare the treat bag. For example, if someone is allergic to nuts, don’t include anything in the treat bag that contains nuts. Moreover, if just one guest has an allergy, make up a bag just for that guest and make sure he or she gets it.
