6 Halloween Ideas

For Procrastinating PMs

By now, you’ve (hopefully) set the date and time for your Halloween event. Are you still struggling with the details on how to make it special? We’ve got your back. Check out these Halloween party ideas for multifamily communities.

Let your residents do most of the work

  1. Community Boo Game The Boo Game is like tag, reimagined for busy grownups with varying schedules. Someone from the leasing office starts the game by leaving a card and a box of goodies at a resident’s door. Then the chain continues in the hands of residents! Check out the card idea below.
  2. Cookie Exchange Have residents bake Halloween-themed goodies. Participants can gather in the clubhouse to share their creations. This could also be a fun fundraiser if you opt to sell cookies for attendees who did not bring a contribution. (You can also collect donations from all participants, of course.)
  3. Chili Cook Off Cool weather calls for warm comfort foods. A chili cook off is a quick and inexpensive way to get residents involved in spooky season festivities. Like the cookie exchange, it can be an exchange or donation-based event.
  4. Community Outing Find a local theatre playing Rocky Horror Picture Show or Halloween-themed films. Pick a film (or have residents vote if there is time). Have interested residents RSVP and then call the theater to block off a section for a show. If you’re lucky enough to be in pedestrian friendly district, top it off with bar hopping afterwards. Easy win!

Discover how easy it can be to promote your event on social media.

Smooth ways to promote your corporate values

  1. Pet Costume Party Pet costume parties are a great way to remind residents that their furry companions are a valued part of the family. Providence Place of Wasatch Premiere Communities, a Yardi client, hosts pet-friendly costume parties that are a huge success. And, ahem, can we say “great free marketing” for your community?

6. Zero-Waste Party If sustainability is a part of your corporate values, a zero-waste party is an excellent way to remind renters that you stand by your word. Check out reusable, upcycled, and biodegradable décor ideas.
