Embracing the spirit of Halloween in the workplace is something many American businesses do each year around this time.<\/p>\n

Having festive decorations, wearing costumes and offering spooky baked treats or candy selections can be fun ways to celebrate Halloween.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yet the celebratory spirit of Halloween can shift all too quickly to one of unprofessionalism, etiquette experts cautioned in comments to Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

HALLOWEEN QUIZ! HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FESTIVE FALL HOLIDAY?\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to keep your Halloween practices at work professional \u2014 and not regrettable.<\/p>\n

If your company permits costume wearing in the workplace, think carefully about you choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Steer clear of distasteful costumes that show too much skin, or are controversial, such as religious costumes, political figures or cultural stereotypes,” said Diane Gottsman, an etiquette expert and founder of The Protocol School of Texas in San Antonio, Texas.<\/p>\n

Also, she said a prank costume isn\u2019t funny at work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Showing up to work as a sexy teacher or some other stereotypical and racy \u2018adult\u2019 figure may seem funny to you \u2014 but it will leave a lasting negative impression,” Gottsman said.<\/p>\n

An office costume party should be looked upon as a company function, said Gottsman \u2014 and with that in mind, it\u2019s better to err on the side of caution in both behavior and costume.<\/p>\n

HALLOWEEN HORROR MOVIE HOMES AND THE STORIES BEHIND THEM: WOULD YOU DARE TO VISIT?<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

While it\u2019s a fun idea to be a part of the office festivities, act professionally.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Making a fool of yourself is going to negatively affect your reputation far beyond the Halloween party,” Gottsman said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It shows a lack of good judgment and self-control.”<\/p>\n

Adding a few Halloween-centric decorations to your workspace is acceptable as long as your company says it\u2019s OK and these decorations don\u2019t create a scary or gory scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

HALLOWEEN CANDY BRAIN TEASER: CAN YOU FIND THE HIDDEN SPIDER AND CANDY CORN?<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Practice tastefulness above all else,” said Pamela Eyring, an etiquette expert and president of The Protocol School of Washington, who is based in Columbia, South Carolina.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Small spiders and spider webs are fun, and decorations with witches, broom sticks and ghosts work, too,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But avoid bloody visualization or vicious clowns \u2014 no one likes them. And stay away from bloody gore, etc.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s absolutely fine to have a dish of candy to offer co-workers, said Eyring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, “make sure each piece is individually wrapped,” she said.<\/p>\n

“You don\u2019t want a dozen hands coming in for the loose candy corn,” she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
