- Go out with a group of at least ten friends. Having so many people together will make it easier to keep an eye on everyone. Besides, you pretty much have a perfect group. You’ve all been best friends for almost two whole months; there’s no way anyone will hate each other by the end of the night!
- Ask your situationship to wear a couple’s costume. It’s a guaranteed way to take your relationship (that is definitely not a relationship) to the next level, and they’ll love it. They definitely want to hang out with your friends, and there’s no way they’ll be put off at all by the idea of displaying any sort of attachment towards you in public. (Pro tip: buy the costumes before asking, so you can approach them with a proof of concept. Makes it much harder to say no!)
- Only go to the parties you have to pay for—the more expensive, the better. You want your Halloween to be exclusive. You don’t want to be surrounded by broke city locals; you want to be handed a rolled-up twenty by a Stern trust-fund transplant who has an ongoing tab on Daddy’s Amex.
- If you can’t afford for a middle-aged promoter going through his third divorce to show you a good time, just make your way to Carman, where all the coolest kids are bound to be.
- Order all your costumes off Amazon two nights before. They’ll definitely all arrive in time, and I’m sure no one else will be dressed like an angel, or a vampire, or a bunny. Plus, who doesn’t need the same fifteen dollar corset in four different colors?
