Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year over at "One Geek to Another", and so I was thrilled when the great folks at Flames Rising asked me to do a guest blog on etiquette for the spooky holiday this month! From my desk to yours, here's 13 ways to have an awesome (and polite!) Halloween! Party Time! – Halloween parties are a popular pastime for kids and adults alike. And for some reason, Halloween celebrations seem particularly prone to getting out of hand. Maybe it's the costumes, and the sense of pseudo-anonymity. Maybe it's the devilish naughtiness inherent in the holiday. Or maybe it's because, in many cases, it's been months since the last major excuse to celebrate. Whatever the reason, something in the air at Halloween makes it tempting to throw caution to the wind and get particularly wild. For adults, be aware of the dangers of over-indulgence. If you're hosting a party, be sure to offer lots of non-alcoholic beverages and starchy snacks to help temper your guest's consumption. Collect keys (or at least check in with folks about their designated driver) and have a back up plan for those folks who might need a bit of help making responsible decisions about transportation or alcohol consumption. Don't be afraid to cut someone off if they've obviously over-indulged. Risking offense is better than arranging a trip to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. If you're a guest, be a responsible party-goer. RSVP to let your host know you'll be attending, and ask if you can bring anything or help in any way with set-up or preparations. At the party, alternate water or juice between alcoholic drinks if you're going to imbibe, so as not to over-indulge. Be respectful of your host's property and pick up after yourself during the evening. Check in with your host during the evening, and see if they need any help with refreshments or entertainment. If you're still there when the party winds down, offer to help clean up. As parents, be extra aware of where your kids are and what they're doing on Halloween. If they're at that age between "need to be chaperoned" and "off on their own", find out where they're going and what they're doing (and with who.) Check to make sure parties are chaperoned and won't include illegal under-aged drinking or drugs. Offer to help with chaperoning, decorations or refreshments, if another parent is taking on the responsibility of organizing a party that will include your child. I'm an author of "One Geek to Another" a weekly column of advice and etiquette for the modern lifestyle. I also writes professionally in the fashion styles.
