Etiquette to Trick or Treating in the Georges River area!
Lastly, some housekeeping!
Trick-or-treating is one of Halloween’s most beloved traditions, but there’s a bit of etiquette that comes with the fun to ensure a smooth, enjoyable experience for everyone. Here are a few key guidelines to keep in mind:
1. **Only Knock on Decorated or Lit Homes** If a house has its lights off or isn’t decorated, it’s a polite signal that they aren’t participating in trick-or-treating. Respect their choice and move on to the next house.
2. **Be Polite and Say “Thank You”** Good manners go a long way. Always thank the person handing out candy, whether they give you a big handful or just one piece.
3. **Take One Treat Unless Invited for More** It can be tempting to grab a fistful of candy, but if a house has a bowl out or someone is handing out candy, make sure to take only what is offered. If they say, “Take as much as you’d like,” then feel free to grab a little extra.
4. **Be Mindful of Time** Trick-or-treating typically happens early in the evening, so avoid knocking on doors too late. After 9:00 PM, it’s best to call it a night, as many families may be winding down.
5. **Practice your Tricks** Brush up on those cool party tricks, Dad Jokes or dancing moves incase the home owners asks for a trick! You don’t want to be caught off guard if asked!!
6. **Respect Other Trick-or-Treaters** If younger children are also out, be patient and give them space. Halloween is fun for all ages, so make sure everyone feels safe and included. By following these simple tips, you’ll ensure a fun, respectful, and sweet-filled Halloween night for everyone!
