Your Halloween Workplace Party Checklist

It’s time to get your workplace ready for spooky season. Do you have what you need to throw a scarily good party? We put together this checklist to help you out.

Halloween Treats

First things first: candy. You’re never too old to indulge your sweet tooth on Halloween, and it won’t be much of a party without a full smattering of goodies. Here’s what we recommend for your candy spread.

Cover your bases with variety.

With an assortment of 140 pieces of candy, the No Tricks, Just Treats Halloween Snack Box gives you a mix of chocolatey and fruity options to keep everyone happy. Add in the Wrigley’s Fun Size Candy Mix for a few extra fan favorites and you’ll be set on the basics.

Don’t forget everyone’s favorite flavors.

Variety is good, but specialty and personalization can go a long way. One flavor you never want to forget this time of year: pumpkin! Pumpkin Spice Milk Chocolate Caramels by Sanders are a decadent treat any pumpkin enthusiast can appreciate, and they pair perfectly with Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice K-Cups®. 

Another way to cater to your team’s preferences: M&M’s. Ask any group to tell you their favorite M&M flavors and an argument might just break out. Don’t worry, the M&M’s® Fun Size® Variety Mix has them all.

Halloween Decorations

Go from workspace to party zone with the right décor. No matter the size or layout of your office, it just takes a few accents to transform it. 

Welcome guests in.

Start with a Halloween banner to show everyone where the party’s at. Nothing creates a spooky entrance like the right ghostly banner.

Create the atmosphere.

Set the scene with decorations including these 50 cardstock Bat Cutouts to scatter around. And skip the mess of carving but still enjoy some spooky, smiling faces with this Jack-o’-Lantern Balloon Kit.

Serve up snacks and drinks in full Halloween spirit.

Carry the theme through to the snack table with Halloween cups and tableware. Plus, let’s be real, there’s just something about drinking out of a cartoon-ghost cup that makes it taste better.

The Finishing Touches

Sometimes it’s the odds and ends that take a party from good to great. Here are a few ways to get there.

Pick up items that complete the costume or theme.

From sailors to rockers, so many costumes are just begging for a tattoo. These Washable Temporary Tattoo Markers will help guests finish off their looks. And since this is a workplace party, we know you might be thinking about theming your costume – or your whole party – around the well-loved show that features the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. We’ve got you covered with official Dunder Mifflin Paper.

Hand out goodie bags to end the night.

These Skeleton Hand Treat Bags are the perfect way to let everyone take some candy for the road. Whether they save some for later or eat it all on the way home is up to them.
