Pro Tips - Decorating with Halloween Neon Signs
Do These Things:
- Decorations - Go way over the top. There are no limits to how gaudy and over-the-top your decorations can be. There is simply no limit to making your decorations as scary as possible.
- Lighting - Accentuating elements of your design and decorations with lighting is always a bonus.
- Neon Signs - A great way to combine decoration and lighting is to include neon signs on a timer or motion sensor.
- Dress Up - Answering the door to visitors in a full costume is a must. Make sure to go for something scary.
- Good Candy & Healthy Options - Offer nice candy in single wrappers and a healthy option for visitors who want to limit their treats.
- Have Fun - Make sure to have fun, chat to your visitors, have a laugh, and compliment others on their costumes.
Don't Do These Things:
- Low-Scare - Nothing is worse for trick-or-treaters than a house that has underdone its decorations and provides no scare. Make it fun, but take it seriously.
- Candy-Rush - Don't give out all of your candy in one hit, and don't allow visitors to take candy at their pleasure (they will take all of it in one go).
Apart from those tips, ensure you're setting yourself up for success - have plenty of candy and food options on hand, and always remember to go easy on the scaring of the little children visiting your door!
