3. Get the office Halloween Party catered

Don't want to take a bite out of productivity? No worries! Order some bewitchingly good corporate catering for your office Halloween party. Whether you crave a working lunch with vampire-empanadas, a vegetarian mummy-pizza extravaganza, or a spine-chilling monster-themed dessert cookie delivery, there’s a catering idea that will cast a spell on every office. You can even find catering options for those with special diets, like vegan delights. Plus, the catering company will often have event packages that will make the day enjoyable and run smoothly, taking the pressure off your back.

4. Whip up some spooky drinks

When the workday is done, it's time to kick off the Halloween party with some spine-chillingly delicious cocktails. Order a cocktail catering package that includes spooky drinks like the Dracula Cherry Cocktail or a Green Sour Apple shot. Raise your glasses and let the spirits of Halloween work their magic!

5. Dress up and delight

Encourage your employees to unleash their spooky side and dress up for Halloween, as long as their costumes are respectful and don't scare the pants off the rest of the team. But remember, no tricks, just treats – don't force anyone to participate! If you want to take the spookiness into after hours, why not have an office-wide costume party or costume competition? Get some alcohol delivered, order delicious finger food catering, and turn the evening into a frightfully fun affair. Just make sure to set clear guidelines on what costumes are work-appropriate, so no one gets "mummified" by HR.

And let's not forget, a contest with prizes can turn your team into Halloween costume superstars! Offer rewards like a paid lunch or gift vouchers for the most creative, funniest, or scariest costumes. Trust me, the spirit of competition will light a fire under your staff and bring out their most bewitching sides!

Turn your ordinary office space into a haunted house or a whimsical wonderland with spooktacular Halloween decorations. Hang fake spiderwebs, drape toilet paper like a ghostly apparition, and place ghouls around to give your workspace some eerie charm. And don't forget to sprinkle each desk with little lolly bags filled with scrumptious sweets. It's like adding flavourful garnish to a spooky feast!

7. Halloween games: spirited fun and friendly competition!
