Halloween Fun for Couples

Who says Halloween is a holiday for children and the singles community only?  Halloween has been a tradition of trick-or-treating door-to-door craze, haunted houses, scary costumes, an assortment of devilish delights, spooky decors, and more.  The thrill of decorating a pumpkin, masquerading around town, and indulging in the festivities are certainly not limited to kids and singles.  You and your partner can conjure up something exciting or romantic in the spirit of Halloween.  Let the fun begin as you evoke the magic of Halloween in your own backyard.  Here are some ideas:

Make it a Pumpkin Night

Plan a visit to the pumpkin patch and pick up two pumpkins on Halloween night.  As soon as you get home, break out your carving kit, markers, and candles.  Prepare a lovely dinner for two.  Have a candlelight dinner with your favorite wine or champagne.  Afterwards, you and your sweetheart carve and decorate your own pumpkins.  Once your pumpkins are ready for display, place them on the window sill, doorstep, or somewhere in the house where you can enjoy the pleasure of viewing them and admiring each other’s artwork.  Depending on your mood, the rest of the evening can be spent watching a scary movie together or producing an atmosphere of love and romance.

Plan a Treasure Hunt

Are you ready for some Halloween action?  Then bring your creativity to the table.  You and your honey individually generate a map, which outlines a list of all the items that will be hidden with their corresponding clues.  If you really want to get creative, make arrangements to purchase Halloween-themed items in advance.  For example, a skull pendant, black nail polish, miniature pumpkin, garlic, fangs, cross, candle, etc.  Otherwise, choose random articles you have available at home to be included in your treasure hunt.  The rules of the game should be defined by you and your partner.  However, for simplicity’s sake, your mission is to hide the objects specified on your map in various places in the house, front yard, and backyard based on your suggested clues.  Once you’ve completed that task, your partner begins his or her search for the hidden treasures within a specific timeframe.  The process starts again with your partner hiding his objects and you hunting for the missing items based on his or her clues.  Whoever finds the most objects wins the game.  In terms of prizes, the winner receives a gift or a total body massage.  Those are simply suggestions.  Let your imagination run wild and come up with an innovative prize.

Organize a Small, Intimate Halloween Party

This would be a perfect idea to get together with your closest friends and dress up for the occasion.  Wear something sexy or scary, which you can purchase online or at a Halloween store.  If you prefer to make it yourself, get your creative juices flowing, but make sure to give yourself plenty of time to do so.  Remember your aim is to coordinate a small and intimate shindig, so limit your guest list to two to three couples.  Remind them to wear a costume to add to the excitement.  You can either prepare the entire Halloween dinner yourself or assign your guests to each bring their choice of dish, dessert, or alcoholic beverage.  To liven up the mood and share some laughter with your friends, incorporate some form of entertainment such as playing charades, cards, or a board game.
