Last year, I threw a huge adults only Halloween party (Carnival of Carnage). This year, the kids want in on the Halloween party too ( and to be honest, I'm ready for a more responsible type of party). Last year's decorations included lots of blood and gore. This year, I need to scale it back. Any thoughts on how to still throw a great party and have great decorations while keeping it family friendly (ages newborn-adult)? I want it to be still really cool for adults and not scare the kids. Plus I live in a townhouse now so the scale of my decorations has changed a bit. Any tips would be appreciated !

I think you'll have to leave gore out of it to make it family friendly, just swap it for spooky instead. We've hosted a family friendly party 3 years in a row, 4th this year. There's lots of interesting things for adults and kids alike without being too intense for young ones. People in costume will always have fun

and obviously there's no reason why adults can't enjoy a few drinks.

My kids are little still, so we host at least one Halloween playdate before our own Open House. Here's a photo of some fun treats we set out for the kids - the drinks are a huge hit!

This year we will actually have 2 parties, one family party & another one where my kids get to invite some friends from school! We don't do big bday parties for our kids, so I finally convinced hubby that we should throw an extra Halloween party for that reason. Hey all the decor is up, so why not!
