You might not think of Halloween etiquette rules, but there are some you should follow each year. To avoid making a fool out of yourself or hurting someone's feelings (or health), you might want to read this before Halloween every year. Here are the top Halloween rules you should always follow. 1. Don't guess what a costume is via GIPHY If you aren't completely sure what a costume is, don't guess. Ask the child instead. They may have spent many hours working on it and would be crushed if you assume they are something else. 2. Don't bring bloody decorations into the office via GIPHY Even if you love scary and gory decorations, don't assume that others do. Your co-workers might not want to look at them and the decorations may scare them or gross them out. Stick with cuter decorations for the office or hide them in your office or cubicle where only you can see them. Also, remember that really loud Halloween decorations should be left at home too. 3. Don't wear an offensive costume via GIPHY Just because a costume makes you laugh, don't assume that everyone else will laugh. Stay away from racial stereotypes, religious quips, and otherwise offensive material. If you have to question if you should wear a costume to a party or not, just don't wear it. If you really love it, save it for friends or family that will not be offended. 4. Remember, nothing is private anymore via GIPHY If you wear a costume to a party that you wouldn't want your boss or family to see, just don't wear it. Chances are you'll get into some pictures and someone might end up seeing them. Read onto the NEXT page for more rules you need to know! 5. Be classy with outdoor decorations via GIPHY Especially if you put fake tombstones outside, don't use any real names. It could be upsetting to others. Stick with "R.I.P" or "Do Not Disturb". 6. Teach kids manners for trick-or-treating via GIPHY Kids will be interacting with adults so make sure your children or grandchildren know to say please, thank you, talk with adults nicely, and only take one piece of candy unless they are told to take more. 7. Think again if you want to do a haunted house via GIPHY Homemade haunted houses can be fun but think about the liability. You take a risk when you let strangers or people you don't know well into your home. If they get hurt or ill from the haunted house, you risk them suing you. 8. Think about allergies Holistic Health If you are passing out candy with nuts or other allergens, have another bowl of candy that kids with allergies can enjoy too. If you have all allergy-free goodies, you can now put a teal pumpkin on your porch to let parents know you are an allergy-free home. Do you follow all of these Halloween rules?
