Halloween-themed birthday party with bonfire and fireworks - ideas please!

Hi All

It is my son's 15th birthday in just over a week's time and he is having a Halloween themed fancy dress party with bonfire and fireworks.

I could really do with some ideas for food, games, decorations and costumes - particularly food!

We live in a small terraced house with a garden about the same size - so not a great deal of space.

All suggestions gratefully received!

  • If you look on the good food website they have some good food ideas

    Also for games putting prizes in bowls of custard, spaghetti and rice pudding has always been quite popular!
  • Have a look at this thread with loads of ideas on - I've posted some piccies of my son's halloween birthday party - he was 11 so maybe not all the games will be suitable for teenagers but I think the Mummy game would be good.
