Halloween party essentials
1. Festive food surprises
- Keep a mix of disturbing treats and appetizing main dishes to keep up the fun while keeping your guests fed.
- You can make ghost cookies, strawberry preserve filled cake that bleeds on slicing, meatball spaghetti for the more appetizing treats.
2. Beverages
- Skull ice cubes, cauldron servers, eyeballs are all game-changers when you decide on freaking your guests before treating them to delicious punch bowls.
- Dry ice is always a game-changer to give your space a foggier feel while it also helps to keep the drinks at perfect temperatures.
3. Halloween dance playlist
- Parties are incomplete without a good dance.
- Set the mood with themed music, use classic thrillers.
- All you need to do is create a YouTube playlist and hook it up with the speaker to get all started.
4. Halloween activities
- Smash your party with games after you are done with the booze.
- Activities should be arranged later during the party after all your friends are comfortable, down some beer, and friendly with each other.
5. Goodie Bags
- Masquerade masks, candies, and vampire’s teeth; go ahead and get creative with this without spending a lot on these giveaways.
6. Lighting
- The last thing that catches everyone’s attention is the dark and mysterious lighting with fog and colors to set the party mood.
- Use as many candles as possible especially red and black colors and strobe lights to set the theme.
- Add lights to specifically illuminate the centerpiece decors, and food to illuminate them while keeping everything else in the dark.
7. Entryway decor
- You don’t want your guests to lose their way.
- Use scarecrows, cobwebs, fog machines, and lanterns to decorate your entryway to easily separate the party house from other residential places nearby.
- Go one step further and decorate your entryway with motion sensors so your guests are welcomed with cackles, or screams, or hanging skeletons, or a simple boo.
Halloween party decor ideas
Let us look into some really spooky Halloween decor ideas:
- Use banners painted with little pumpkins and skulls that could read “Happy Halloween”, or “the fun begins here”.
- Use comfortable yet wild pillows that give your guests some rest while they have had enough of a wild run.
- Use jack-o-lanterns on tables, entryway, or near the fireplace for a styled up farmhouse ready for the Halloween night.
- Use brooms that are adorable and holds up candies, chips, and dips.
- Another way to use a witch’s broom is to attach metal legs with ceramic hats hanging from it; then use these hats as a serving platter for some spooky treats.
- Black and white pumpkins are a great way to decor your farmhouse not just for the creepy party night but also for the fall season.
- Step in and buy some vintage style sign art like “Trick or treat” colored in tones of yellow and orange.
- Pumpkin twinkle lights are perfect to drape around your garlands for a fabulous style.
- Use rustic red mixed with tinted black paint to cover your two-tiered stand that holds your cupcakes and goodie bags perfectly while camouflaging with your theme.
- Customize a canvas metal rusted wall art and write signs or quotes in a way that feels inspired and thematic.
- Use pumpkin design placements for your dining table to carry the theme there as well.
- Spider webs illuminated with bloody red candles in rustic candle holders can add a lot to the Halloween decor.
How to create a spooky centerpiece?
A centerpiece is a must to reflect a finished themed look to your festive decor. Some tips on creating a perfect creepy centerpiece are:
- Add apples and bowls of black grapes on the center table.
- Add touches of gold color for a bolder statement.
- The color theme you choose should be deep while being rich at the same time.
- Paint some pumpkins in black, use plastic pumpkins or real ones; they will ramp up your center table into something more fun.
- Use dripping candles in a way that is elegant and spooky at the same time.
- Use handmade table linens and add glitters to ramp up its look.
- Spread crows and bats all throughout the table.
- Use ornamental cabbage and place it in a silver bowl instead of going for some typical beautiful bouquets, or go for darker colored flowers.
- The key is to not make the centerpiece really dark, but give it some pops of color here and there.
- Hanging decors all over the place like witch’s hat or some bats can give your farmhouse a chic look.
- Invest in candles as they are cheap but really give a lot of illumination to the decor.
- Use sparkly and glittery masquerade masks and stick them to the table linen for finishing the look.
