How Do You Celebrate Summerween?

The first day of summer, or in July, is typically when Summerween is celebrated. This event brings a spooky Halloween vibe into the summer months. Whether you’re hosting a haunted barbecue, watching horror movies, or wearing beach-themed Halloween costumes, the key to celebrating any event is to truly have fun! Don’t overthink it. This list will provide everything you need!

Do You Dress Up For A Summerween Party?

The short answer and the only answer is… YES! Think spooky season in swimwear. Think poolside vampires, haunted luau, or matching pjs if you’re planning a slumber party. Either way, there are truly no rules, just good vibes!

The Best Summerween Party Ideas

1. Summerween Invitations

No matter the party, to be “legit”, you have to send out invites. At least, that’s what my brain thinks, haha. I usually create my party invites using Canva, which makes the process so much easier. In the search bar, type in “Summerween invitations”, and a wide variety of templates will be available. Once you find a design you like, simply enter your party details. Did I mention that Canva is FREE? Additionally, I enjoy finding invitations on Etsy as well.

2. Set the Vibes: Summerween Decoration

Bloody Pool

You must try this idea! Whether you have an inflatable pool or a backyard pool, changing the color to red adds the perfect layer of Halloween fun.

Inflatable Coffin Cooler

If you don’t copy any other idea, you must get an inflatable coffin cooler. It’s perfect for storing all of your drinks while staying in theme with the Summerween party vibes.

Sunbathing Skeletons

Grab some beach towels, an umbrella, and skeletons to recreate this summerween party idea.

Skeleton Cooking

What’s a summer Halloween party without food on a grill? Place your skeleton next to the grill to cook up a dead body or skeleton fish.

Add “Fog” and Lights for A Spooky Effect

Place spooky skeletons inside cute floaties for a fun vibe. The floating skeletons and foggy pool will create the perfect spooky vibes!

Hang Dead Bodies and Fake Broken Bloody Body Parts

POV: The sun is down, you’ve been drinking, and you go for a night swim with scary broken body parts, haha!

3. Time to Eat: Summerween Party Food and Drinks

Halloween Ice Cream

What’s a summer party without ice cream? The best dessert to keep you cool. Turn your ice cream into pumpkins or spooky ghost ice cream!

Halloween Charcuterie Board

Halloween charcuterie boards make the perfect snack idea, especially themed!

Ghost Burgers

Burgers have to be one of the most cooked items on the grill. The secret to making ghost burgers is slicing your cheese to form eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

Add Umbrella Drink Covers and Drink Toppers

Jazz up your cocktails or mocktails with fun drink covers. The umbrella drink covers are ideal for a summer party and match the theme perfectly.

Halloween Pumpkin Floats

These pumpkin floats are super easy to make and have to be added to your list. Plus, the added vanilla ice cream will keep you and your guests cool while being in the sun all day long.

All You Need:

• Orange Soda
• Vanilla Ice Cream
• Sprinkles+ Orange Icing
• Whipped Cream

4. Summerween Party Games and Activities

Dress in Costumes

You can’t host or attend a summer Halloween party and NOT dress in a spooky costume.

Pumpkin Pinata

This will definitely bring out your inner child! I recommend filling the pinata with gummy or hard candy, as chocolate may melt in the warm weather.

Outdoor Movie Night

Transform your backyard into a theater. Put on a spooky movie to match the vibes.

Halloween Yard Games

Yard games will really add some fun to your backyard summer party! You can play witch’s hat ring toss, pin the spider, or “boo” pitch.

5. Summerween Party Favors

Party favors are essential; they not only show your appreciation for the attendees but also provide a fun way to enhance the party theme. In this case, I suggest creating “boo baskets.” You can fill them with simple items, and they turn out really cute!
