Thinking about having a fun gathering on Halloween? It’s always great to get dressed up with your friends and have a good time. You want to do your best to make it an event to remember. That’s why we’re providing these ideas to community members of our Gramercy on the Park Apartments in Dallas. Use them as inspiration for putting together a great Halloween bash!
Bobbing for Fruit
Why limit yourself to apples when there are so many other fruits you can throw in? Go for items with interesting shapes and different sizes. It’s a great way to throw some variety into a classic Halloween game.
Alternative fruit ideas:
- Bananas
- Plums
- Oranges
- Peaches
- Grapes
Assign points depending on the difficulty of grasping an item with your teeth. We recommend adding bonus points for anyone who has to bite down into an orange skin!
Mystery Serving Table
Place foods with unique textures under a covering, making it impossible to see what's underneath. Place signs on with fun names indicating the different contents they contain. Ask your guests to blindfold themselves before serving them items from different dishes.
Let only one guest at a time approach to stop others from ruining the surprise. Are they consuming eyeballs? Is it indeed entrails being placed on their tongue? Allow your guests the opportunity of discovering the true nature of the food for themselves!
Halloween Game Event
Pick out some different games and challenge your guests to compete and find a true champion at the end of the night. Don’t forget to create a nice skeleton trophy for the winner!
Halloween game ideas:
- Pin the spider on the web
- Eyeball egg race with a spoon in your teeth
- Competition to create a mummy from toilet paper
- Three-legged zombie race
- Pumpkin bowling
- Halloween Bingo
- Marshmallow tossing
- Skeleton hopscotch
Each of these ideas can be adapted to suit your floor plan. They’re also inexpensive to put together and sure to provide a lot of laughs for those watching.
We want our residents of Gramercy on the Park Apartments in Dallas, TX, to have a great time on Halloween or any other holiday. Call our offices at (866) 350-7648 if you’re interested in finding out more about our beautiful apartment community.

Football season is finally here. And to celebrate, many people are hosting football parties. If you plan on throwing one, here are a few tips to help makes yours a success.
Make Sure You Can Access the Game You Want to Watch
First and foremost, always make sure you can access the game you want to watch. Not every game is shown in every area, and some games may be blacked out locally if the game is not a sellout. The last thing you want is to invite friends over to watch the big game, only to find out you can't watch it in your apartment home. Do your research and find out what games will be shown.
Decorate With Fun Party Decorations
When hosting a football party, always decorate your place with fun party decorations. Party supply stores, grocery stores, and even dollar stores have fun and festive decorations, including football plates, football field tablecloths, and festive football-themed party trays.
Have Plenty of Food on Hand
A football party can quickly come to a halt if you run out of food. Always make sure you have plenty of food on hand when you are hosting a football party. Consider putting out a variety of food, including vegetables, chips, pretzels and sweets to ensure there is a variety of foods and plenty for everyone. Most party planners recommend having about a pound of food per person on hand and 1/2 pound per child.
Make Sure Your Guests Can Make it Home Safely
Lastly, if you plan on serving alcohol, make sure your guests have a way to make it home safely. Either designate a driver, or use a ride-sharing app if need be. Never let anyone drive home drunk after a party.
Hosting a great party starts with having a great party space. If you love to host events but don't have a space that is suited for it, then consider making Gramercy on the Park your next move. If you are looking for apartments in Dallas, be sure to take a look at Gramercy on the Park. We have the perfect apartments for hosting loved ones and friends.
