10 Trick-or-Treat Safety Tips

10 Trick-or-Treat Safety Tips

Everything Else, Wedding & Family, Wedding Lounge
Halloween is a time for costumes, fun and gorging yourself on candy.  Being that it’s exactly two weeks until Halloween, you’ve probably seen an influx of Halloween party invitations show up in your mailbox, but most children look forward to trick-or-treat more than a party. When I was still young enough to trick-or-treat, (and wow it's been awhile since it was socially acceptable for me to dawn a costume and ask strangers for candy) I was that kid who wasn't allowed to eat any of the candy until my parents inspected every single piece.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No. Not the winter holidays where families get together, laugh, eat, be merry, and give each other gifts. No no. This is better. It’s the time of year where parents put their children in ridiculous (maybe awesome…) costumes for Halloween. I’m not a parent, but a lot of my friends are, and it seems to me that the younger the child is the bigger the advantage is to the parent. This is the parents’ time to dress their child up in ridiculous costumes because they are “cute,” and the child can’t do a freakin’ thing about it. Most of the time you see babies dressed as cute animals or some type of vegetable. There’s the typical costume where a baby is a…
