Some Halloween activities are just meant to be and having a contest of Halloween costumes for your birthday party is the perfect fit.  First and foremost, inform the guests.  Note on the invitations that a costume contest is planned and prizes will be awarded (only adds to the excitement).  It is also a good idea to include on the invitation the categories that will be judged...Best Costume, Funniest, Scariest, Most Original, etc.  When it's time for the costume contest to begin, place a number on each child's costume.  Form a circle, so that guests can see all the costumes and pick their favorite.  Provide ballots for voting and ask kids to place their marked ballot into the ballot box.  Announce the Halloween birthday costume winners for as many categories as you like and award prizes.  A trophy, sash, ribbon or candy make great prizes.
