Halloween Block Party?

Ksahlberg

DH and I currently live in a condo, it gets crowded with more than 4 people over, but, I LOVE Halloween. We've been getting acquainted with our neighbors, but, some of the neighbors don't know each other yet. What do you think about throwing a block party? Perhaps an open-door, come as you are affair with apps and cocktails? I could see if other neighbors are interested so we can go house to house kind of like trick or treating?

Ideas, thoughts?

I think it sounds like a lot of fun! Maybe suggest that each person prep a "signature" cocktail and appetizer. Then in pairs or groups, you go around to each condo, sip, taste and talk

That sounds fun!  I'd first float the idea by the neighbors you know, then tackle those you don't.  Be sure to respect peoples' requests regarding an end-time and noise levels!

I love this idea! I've always thought the "open-door" neighborhood party concept was awesome and a way for everyone to get to know each other, mingle, and it's not on the shoulder's of just one host family.

I love it and love the idea of having everyone prepare an app.  Then people know they'll be having an app dinner and no one gets stuck with making the entree.

I agree with floating the idea around to a couple of the neighbors you do know, just to make sure the date you have in mind works with the others.

Now to work on a costume!

I completely agree with the signature appetizer. It would definitely be interesting to see what your neighbors prepare. When asking if anyone is interested, if they seem hesitant about having others come INSIDE their condo maybe suggest having the party in a common area?

we do this in our neighborhood every year. everyone just brings a dish and their own drinks. it's a lot of fun and no pressure on anyone to "host". we just take turns as to whose house it's in front of.

we also do games for the kids and a little parade for them too. very informal but the kids love it.

have fun!
