Plan a green Halloween party!

It’s easy to have a green Halloween party with some simple steps.

Green your invites: There’s no limit to the spooky e-cards you can find online nowadays. E-cards save paper and money (many are free). If you can’t go with e-cards, check out some Halloween invites that are non-toxic like the INK + WIT Halloween postcards above – chipboard kraft 103lb thick, with soy based ink.

Green your costumes: Ask guests to make their own costumes from recycled goods they have at home.

Green your decor: Use pumpkins, apples, hay stacks, leaves, old thrift store sheets (for ghosties) and homemade recycled paper for decor rather than plastic inflated pumpkins or skeleton heads.

Green the treats: Serve Fair Trade goodies along with organically made treats and eats. Serve organic apple cider and make sure it’s all placed on real, not paper platters with some cloth napkins or recycled paper napkins. Buy items in bulk or in packaging that’s recyclable and less extrema. You don’t really need single serving sized candies at a party; buy a bunch and dump it in a bowl.

Green the fun: Try building a scarecrow, bobbing for apples, or make an awesome Halloween mural with recycled paper and non-toxic crayons.
