4 Tips for a Boo-tiful Halloween
Halloween is all about having fun, whether you’re 6 or 60! These are some surefire tips to help you make the most of it.
1. Dress to impress
It’s just not Halloween without costumes. Whether you buy store bought costumes or make your own, throw on something that puts you in a festive mood and have fun with it. If you’re spending Halloween with friends or family, think of a fun group costume to do together. Pop culture is always a fun source of inspiration, so consider characters from Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, or Toy Story.
2. Safety first
While Halloween should be a day of fun for all ages, it’s also one of the highest volume days of the year for emergency rooms. Think about it; kids and adults in masks, capes, and bulky costumes running around in the dark on a sugar high, wearing cheap, flammable costumes near pumpkins illuminated by open flame. It’s a recipe for disaster, but it doesn’t have to be! There are some super simple ways you can stay safe this Halloween, including:
- Only use foam or plastic prop weapons.
- Keep capes, robes, etc. to a reasonable length to avoid tripping.
- Make sure all kids and adults in your group are wearing light or reflective clothing if trick-or-treating outdoors.
- Wear glow sticks and glow accessories, and carry a flashlight.
- If you’re lighting a jack o’lantern, consider using battery-operated tea lights or fairy lights instead of traditional candles.
- If you choose to drink, be sure to have a designated driver or plan to use a car service like Lyft.
- Leave the dark streets, unattended children, and inebriated drivers to the ghosts. Instead, opt to celebrate indoors where your crew can enjoy themselves without worry.
3. The more the merrier
