Listed below are five ideas for preparing your home for Trick or Treating this Halloween
1. With people coming up to knock on your door for some Halloween treats, you should make sure that your home is safe and ready to welcome them. For starters, keep your porch light switched on during the hours of trick-or-treating. This assures people that they will be welcomed and having lights on in the evening always creates a feeling of safety.
2. Your decorations need to be organised. People are much more likely to visit homes that are decorated for Halloween, showing that the people in the home, are having as much fun as those out trick or treating. Elaborate and expensive decorations are not necessary. Your home can look and feel creepy simply by having some well positioned pumpkins, and maybe some other simple but spooky additions.
3. Have any pets at home? No matter how friendly and good with kids they really are, it’s always best to keep them away from the front door when trick-or-treaters come a-knocking. You can’t be sure that guests will be pleased to see pets; some kids tend to still be nervous around dogs, for example.
4. Having a great big candy bowl is something that you will be needing. Most trick or treaters will keeping an eye out for that candy bowl, so don't overlook the importance of the bowl. Even if you don’t intend being home, you can still prepare a big candy bowl. Erecting a sign that welcomes people to help themselves to your candy is one way of letting people know.
5. Make sure that the pathway to your porch is clear and safe to walk on. Also make sure that your sprinklers get turned off for the night, as you don't want kids getting saturated as they collect their candy, although it could be funny to watch - resist it! A well lit path is a safe path.
