This list of adult Halloween party ideas may not all be applicable this year, but each idea might still inspire you! Somehow we’ve gone from Spring 2020 to Halloween in one fell swoop. Did someone just hit the fast forward button? Whatever your feelings about 2020, the thought of a fast approaching Halloween might cheer you up. And though this year’s Halloween parties may look a little different from those of years’ passed — that’s no reason to completely give up on the idea of dressing up in your wildest costume and enjoying an adult beverage (or 10). Perhaps holding off on that large Halloween bash until next year is a good idea, but who says you can’t still make some spooky jello shots!
Who says Halloween is just for the kiddos? Well, they were wrong. This list is a great example of how you can easily do Halloween — adult version.
So whether you’re in pre-planning mode for Halloween next year or you’re thinking of getting creative with safe celebrations this year, we’ve got the ultimate list of adult Halloween party ideas you can use for yourself!
Classy adult Halloween.
If you’re thinking of hosting a classy-esque Halloween dinner party, your choices for decor are endless. Add the color white to the traditional Halloween colors (orange and black) to add a little class. Use this trio of colors to inspire your decor. We love the idea of using teeny-tiny pumpkins as plate toppers.

Shots shots shots.
If you’re thinking more along the lines of a late night Halloween bash — we’re thinking shots. Use the mad scientist theme to add a little glow in the dark shot magic. Using a beaker as your serving pitcher is a fun detail. These are sure to be fan favorites.

Monster bash party invite.
Just because it’s an adult party, doesn’t mean it can’t have a little spunk. We love this Monster Halloween party invite. Sending real paper invites is a sure sign of a grown up party. It also makes it harder to flake on. (pro tip: Postable will mail them for you)
Ghost-Cubes.
Um, ice cubes in the shape of a hand? Ghosts!! We kind of wouldn’t mind icing our drinks with these cubes even if it wasn’t Halloween.
