Things You'll Need:
- Organic pumpkins
-
Step 1
Send electronic invitations. Eliminate paper waste when you invite your guests to your "Green" Halloween Party. Many popular websites such as Evite and Sendomatic allow you to design festive Halloween-themed invitations free of charge. Let your guests know that it will be an environmentally friendly Halloween party and include any special instructions that might entail.
-
Step 2
Use organic pumpkins as decorations. These will create little or no waste at your party. Let your children get creative when you purchase pumpkin decorating kits, such as from Hearth Stone. These kits come with several wooden facial features that are easily inserted into pumpkins to create interesting pumpkin faces. When the party is over, remove the wooden pieces and use the pumpkins to make soups, breads or pies. Throw the remaining pieces of pumpkin in your compost heap.

Step 3
Serve organic Halloween treats. Use a pumpkin-shaped pan and make a cake from organic ingredients. Use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to make organic Halloween cookies. Serve chilled organic fruit juice as a beverage. Include several trays of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables to have healthier options available. Serve all of your food from reusable plates and cups.

Step 4
Require homemade costumes. No Halloween party is complete without a room full of costumed guests. When you purchase a costume that is only worn once, it creates a lot of unnecessary waste. Encourage your guests to get creative. Ask them to wear an original costume that is composed of things that they already own. Get homemade costume ideas online at Budget 101.
