Friday: "Hallow-Teen" Fright Night

Small children will be thrilled to pick their costumes and "trick-or-treat" from house to house, but what about "tweens" and teens who have outgrown the traditional Halloween fun? A "Hallow-Teen" Party is the ideal alternative. A killer iPod party mix, horror movie marathons, Ouija boards or cool haunted house effects can create a mood of mature mischief middle-schoolers will love.

Saturday: Costumes & Cocktails

This night is reserved for the grown-ups! With Friday's trick-or-treating duty out of the way, adults deserve an opportunity to tap into their "inner child" too. A "Costumes & Cocktails" soiree brings party-goers together for upscale Halloween fun. Hand out awards for best celebrity look-alike or most innovative costume. Caterers can skip the candy, but the "witch's brew" can -- and should -- flow freely!

Sunday: Fall Family Fun Day

After Friday and Saturday bashes, and the inevitable sugar crashes, most families will look to relax a bit as the Halloween weekend winds down. Toast the pumpkin seeds, bob for apples and let the kids run around in the crisp autumn air, while the Sunday football ritual plays out in the living room.

"Whether focused on 'tweens,' adults or families, Halloween parties should always be imaginative and fun," says Karen Gilliland, Chief Marketing Officer for FineStationery.com.
