We have a Trunk-or-Treat every year with the members of our church congregation. I don’t know if you’re familiar with a Trunk-or-Treat…..but it’s a simple and safe way to allow trick-or-treating, in a controlled area. Generally those participating will park their cars in a parking lot and will open their trunks to trick-or-treaters and will pass out candy as the children come by. However, our church congregation holds the Trunk-or-Treat on a day other than October 31st because there are still plenty of safe neighborhoods that many of us take our children to. Because why not stretch out Halloween for as long as we can?? ;) So for our congregation, it’s just an excuse for friends and neighbors to get together and have a little Halloween party inside of the church, with a fun little Trunk-or-Treat out in the parking lot afterwards.
We have decorated our car from time to time, but it has always been a little dull. I like to decorate my front door when Trick-or-Treaters come by……..but our car has never been much to look at for the Trunk-or-Treaters. And you know, decorations just make the whole event a lot more fun…….so this year, I’m totally decorating the back of our car. No matter what!
So, I started browsing around online and found SO MANY darling ideas! And even better, it got me thinking of other ideas that would match the theme of my kids’ costumes this year. Oh, I can hardly wait!!!!! :)
Just check these ideas out. How fun would any of these be for your local Trunk-or-Treat this year!
