Host Your Own Party.
2020 is presenting new challenges, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy pumpkin festivals and Halloween parties.
- You can still host your own party as long as it is permitted within your city guidelines.
- You can also host your own Zoom party if you’re concerned about social distancing. Set up a date and time and send out Zoom invites so that everyone can participate in the fun remotely. There are plenty of activities that could make your party fun, from charades to hosting your own costume contests. Our family loves a good theme!
Outdoor Ideas

- You can also hold an outdoor Halloween showcase where everyone can stop by and show off their costumes outside.
- Recreate a pumpkin patch, you can always set up your own patch in the backyard. Buy several pumpkins in different sizes, shapes, and colors, you can even create your own pumpkin decorations and place them throughout the yard on some bales of hay along with other autumn décor.
Children’s Safe Costume Ideas
You can use face coverings by incorporating masks into your child’s Halloween costume. Many companies are selling masks with characters’ mouths printed directly onto the fabric.
Whether it’s a favorite movie hero or a cartoon character, you can find a mask your child likes and then design the costume around it.
Other ways to use a mask as part of a costume is to wear a black mask and dress like a ninja, pick out a pretty pink mask so your child can dress like a princess, or choose something with a skull face printed on it for a safe and spooky costume.
