I live in a huge apartment complex where kids go around trick-or-treating, so I want to decorate my balcony and front door with spider webs, orange and black lights, and other Halloween-y things.

My sister said October 1st is okay to start decorating, but I think that’s still early. What do you think?

October 1st is just fine
On the day. you should do it the day before.
I just started today, the kids and i did some crafts. This is actually a little early for us but they were stir crazy. We usually start around the 10th of october.
I think anytime in October is OK (I’m already seeing decorations out). I remember asking my brother once. He said, May (he LOVES Halloween). His wife liked to kill him for that response.
i already decorated last weekend i like to enjoy the decorations
I’d start on October 15 it’s not too early and it’s not too late.
The first weekend of Oct.
In my area we all decorate the first weekend in October.
Unless you want to be tacky, a week before is more than early enough. I never decorate, out here where I live, no one would see them anyway.
We start october 1st….it will be here b4 you no it. plus the kids like it and like to help decorate. GO FOR IT!!!!
I decorate October 1st. Takes too long to put it all up and take it all down to only be up for two weeks…I think it’s fine to put it up now…everyone seems to be doing so.
Bottom line is it should be whatever suits your own schedule.
My birthday is on October 9th and my rule has always been I can start decorating for Halloween the day after my birthday. Just like I start decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving.
the 1st is fine… my sister put some up in her house on the 25th or something… it just got my excited! i love Halloween
Well there’s Christmas stuff already out at Walmart and Kmart… So you may be running late putting up Halloween decorations…
October first is fine. We decorate for fall shortly before the Fall Equinox and then add the Halloween stuff October 1st. Around my town lots of people put up the spooky Halloween stuff even sooner.
October 1st is great as long as your decorations can hold up for the whole month. Sometimes I will wait until the second week of October to do my decorating. You do it when you like, it’s your call, there are not set protocols after the 1st!
Happy Halloween
Oct 1 is okay but one time I decorated Oct 1 and got tired of it by end of Oct. Now I wait one week into October.
I started yesterday - and I still have a whole month to play and buy more stuff!!
Now is the time my friend! I just started slowly yesterday and add more things as Halloween gets closer.
october 1st is the best time to decorate. it gives time for enjoyment of the holiday.it is the same for all holidays. wouldn’t you do it a month early for x-mas?
October 1st, my whole office was decorated Monday when I came in. No one trick or treats in my neighborhood it’s a little ghetto.
One of my neighbors always puts their decorations up the day before Halloween and everything always looks so amazing and intricate…I think all of us in the neighborhood wished they would decorate a little earlier so that we could all admire their work! In my opinion, anytime after October 1st is just fine.
I have a neighbor that already put up their Christmas lights! I’m not kidding! I think, no…I know that is too early!
People start with halloween decor by me in late november
