Set the spooky Halloween scene

Get your guests in the spirit before the Halloween party starts, with a pumpkin invitation.

Pumpkins will be on offer in the supermarkets (buy one get one free is common) so buy one for each household you've invited. Attach the invite to the pumpkin with strict instructions that only guests with carved pumpkins get to indulge in all the sweets and chocolates!

On the day of the party your house will look fantastic with the spooky glow of all those Halloween pumpkins, and your guests can admire their own craftmanship!
