Need tips to welcome Halloween trick-or-treat.

This year, for the first time after I came to the US from Japan, I think kids from neighbors may visit us for trick-or-treat on Halloween night.
What should I say to those little goblins & witches? What should I and should not give them? Is it better to put candies in a bag in advance? What time do they usually come? Any other tips?
I already decorated the house a little bit, put pumpkins at the front porch, and bought some big bags of candies. But I don't know how to welcome them indeed, as I have never done it myself.
Any advices will help. Thanks!

Well, you are well prepared!
It's usually nice to compliment their costumes, then offer them the sweets. Some people will tie a couple of sweets inside a food bag and give one bag to each child, others will just have a big bowl full of them and advise them to take one sweet or a couple of sweets. Most children - especially the younger ones, will be out around the time it starts getting dark, or maybe even before. Others will be trick-or-teating late into the evening.
I hope this helps, good luck and have a Happy Halloween ^^
