How to Throw a Cartoon Character Theme Halloween Party

For a nonthreatening Halloween fiesta, focus on bright costumes and cheery characters.

Things You'll Need

• Halloween Candles
• Halloween Decorations
• Halloween Light Sets
• Jack-o'-lanterns
• Halloween Music And Sounds
• Halloween Party Packs

Instructions

1. Watch the Cartoon Network and base your theme party on a particular favorite show.

2. Ask all guests to come as characters from that show, or as their own favorite cartoon characters.

3. Pass out gag bags to guests as they arrive. Fill the bags with candy, cartoon action figures and comic books.

4. Serve foods featured in famous cartoons: Brontosaurus Burgers from the Flintstones, or heaping bowls of spinach from Popeye.

5. Purchase several Sunday papers and wallpaper the main party room with the Sunday comic sections. Remember to tack, not tape, the paper to the walls.

6. Conduct a screening session. Watch clips from your favorite cartoon videos.

Tips & Warnings

• If focusing on one cartoon for your theme party, make sure that it's a well-known cartoon or comic series.

• Make your own costume out of the Sunday comics for a fun and festive look. Tape together blocks of the funnies to form pants, a smock or a hat.
