Halloween, the holiday that's full of candy, black & orange and ghostly decor. It's a wonderful time for all, which calls for a celebration. There can be various party themes for Halloween. Go with elegant, spooky or just all out scary. The choice is yours. Wedding and Party Network has a few spooky Halloween party ideas that are sure to be a hit.
Black Cat Ball – If you want to put a glamorous spin on your Halloween party, think about hosting a ball. Halloween isn't all about gore and spooky spectacles. You can add a bit of glam to it as well. It can certainly be a masquerade ball or a more upscale dress code.
Party decorations should contain the colors, purple and black or even black and white. Think about adding glitter, feathers, black balloons, unique vases and lighting to create a glam but ghoulish Halloween setting. Also, serve elegant finger foods and desserts with a Halloween twist.
Little ghost meringues, cupcakes with edible glitter, orange mousse with chocolate shavings served in a cocktail glass, individual servings of crackers & hummus or bite sized morsels with plastic spiders on top all are great examples. Don't forget about clearing out a space for the dance floor and great lighting.
Cast Off to Neverland – Of course, your Halloween party doesn't have to be all about black and orange. You can pick a theme where your guests have to dress up and go with that theme. One that comes to mind is Peter Pan. Let your guests dress up as pirates, Peter Pan, Wendy, the lost boys or as Tinkerbell.
Create a starry night out since Peter Pan flies through the night. Do this by stringing lights and hanging glow in the dark stars around the ceiling. Include pirate flags, white flags, a hook, seashells and maps as part of your party decorations too. For your food, just take inspiration from the ocean.
All Hallow's Eve Dinner Party – This Halloween party can be a bit glamorous with an eerie feel to it. If you and your friends aren't much for a big party, go for a low-key dinner party. However, don't let there be anything low-key about it. Use black candelabras, skulls for place cards, spider webs along the center of the table, crooked Halloween photos and dreadful pumpkins for your party decorations.
Since this is a dinner party, you'll definitely need to plan out a menu. Serve what you would like to cook or talk with your local caterer about coming up with a unique party menu for this event. Don't forget to add the details of spiders or a red cocktail to go with your dinner menu as well.
All Out Costume Party – Stick with tradition and host an all out costume party complete with Halloween costumes, Go with the spooky ghosts hanging from trees, rats, the headless horseman, popcorn balls and all the spooky things you think of on Halloween. Create a Halloween costume contests as well. You can give our prizes to the best, scariest and most creative costumes.
