Heaven and Hell Teen Halloween Party

Great for creative teens who love getting dressed up, a Heaven-and-Hell theme party will get their creative juices flowing.

Costumes:
Split the guest list in half and assign one group to dress up in "Heaven" inspired costumes (angels, cherubs), while the other half dresses up in "Hell" inspired costumes (vampires, devils).

Decorations:
Split your party room in half, decorating one side as Heaven (think all whites, silver and pale blues) and the other side as Hell (red, orange, black).

Using solid-colored balloons, holiday lights and craft-store feather boas are easy ways to decorate a space inexpensively and creatively.

Food:
If you're providing your guests with dinner, opt for something simple that can be bought in bulk for a reasonable price such as pizza.

Think about ordering a "white" pizza (this is a sauce-free pizza usually covered in mozzarella and ricotta cheeses) and another pizza topped with black olives, which could represent "beady" vampire eyes.

Treats:
Set up two sections: one for heavenly treats and one for devilish goodies!

For heavenly treats, stick with light, fluffy treats such as angel food cake, coconut topped cupcakes, vanilla meringues, white jelly beans, white chocolate covered pretzels and white cheddar popcorn.

For devilish goodies, think decadent and rich delights, such as red velvet cupcakes with chocolate (instead of cream cheese) frosting, double chocolate brownies, red hot candies and cinnamon popcorn.
