Halloween Party Tips

Halloween is coming and that means parties! I'm going to help you throw a great mini Halloween party. I've got lots of easy ideas to help keep stress out of your party planning.  Because if your stressed your guests will pick up on that and the party won't be as fun. But if you're relaxed when your guests arrive you'll have more fun and your guests will too. 

I like to start the party outside.  On your lawn or porch set out some tombstones, a few bones and some jack-o-lanterns. As your guests pull up to your place and see the décor outside they'll be excited for the party that awaits them inside.

When setting up a dessert bar add some spookiness to your table linen by layering a gauze cloth.  Display your desserts at various heights by using crates, acrylic risers, a coffin décor piece maybe. Adding little details pulls the theme together, draws the eye and adds texture.  I added moss to the bottom of the crate, added a tombstone to carry the tombstones from outside to the party indoors and added a few mice for fun.  The coffin boxes tie into the tombstones and bones from outside. 

Instead of using dishes for candy and popcorn use cauldrons.  You can pick them up inexpensively. 

Beakers make great vessels for serving your drinks. Set them atop a serving tray to add more dimension and interest. 

I'll be sharing with you how easy it is to make all these Halloween treats in future posts. You'll definitely want to come back to see how to save yourself time and stress.
