I’ve heard many people ask for ideas of what to do on Halloween if you’re not invited to a party.
Our first year as an official couple we were recently engaged and found ourselves in this conundrum. It seems to be a holiday that is really fun when you’re single hitting up parties, or married with kids who melt your heart in their costumes. What about those who are dating, engaged, or married and childless? It can be a very anti climatic to realize things aren’t planned out and you need to drum up something to do on All Hallow’s Eve. I have to admit we hosted a party last year just to avoid this problem, and we’re feeling lucky for our invite to one this year! However, it’s not something you can bank on, and I know we’ll have this problem again!

If you’re just looking for a Halloween themed date for this weekend before you have the actual day, or you are looking to make plans for Wednesday, here’s 15 Halloween date ideas to celebrate this holiday.
1. Carve Pumpkins (even if you already have, make them creepier this time)
2. Make caramel apples, they take time, and you can add a lot of cool toppings to make them pretty darn amazing!
3. Go to a corn maze, bonus if it’s haunted!
4. Visit a haunted house
5. Attend a local farm’s celebration, you can almost always count on good chili!
6. Go see a movie. There are a lot of horror movies out, and if that isn’t your thing, you can go see the over-jumpy-and-scared person’s version of a Halloween movie that’s out this year, we did!
7. Rent a movie at home. I hate these horror flicks, but hello cuddle time! I can usually make the spouse happy once a year and focus on the ideal cuddle situation over the fact that I won’t sleep well or have the courage to get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night for a few weeks.
