Halloween get-togethers might look a little different for a lot of people this year. Maybe you’re hosting a party for the first time (even if it’s just your inner circle) and you have absolutely no idea where to start. Whatever your plan, you probably need a little help. I’m here for you! I am a self-confessed Halloween FREAK!! There are plenty of simple ways to amp up your get together making sure it’s Spooktacular. Here are all my tips from the Pumpkin Queen for creating the purrfect spooky ambiance. 🕷🕸
Start the Party at Hello
Set the Ghoulish Scene
Put on your favorite scary movie to play in the background to really set the mood for the party. Choose from these greats: The Exorcist, The Omen, The Shining, Psycho or Halloween
Add Some Fancy Lighting
I pick up a few boxes of orange string lights each year and throw them up on my mantels, stairs, outdoor bushes to really create the feel of Halloween. 🎃
Throw Around Some Pillows
Buy a Few Festive Serving Bowls, and Stemware
Leave a Scary Message
Buy a cheapo red lipstick from Walgreen’s and write a classic scare tactic.
Candles will Delight the Senses
Play Some Mysterious Music
One of the best ways to get your party off to a scary start is to play Halloween-inspired music. The the soundtrack to The Nightmare Before Christmas or Friday the 13th is to die for.💀
Set an Ominous Atmosphere
THIS is one of my faves. Smoke machines are a MOOD. You could basically throw a party where everyone just sits around and plays Monopoly, and as long as you had a smoke machine running the whole time, it would still be peak Halloween. 🎃
Outside Decor
Indoor Decor
BOO-ZY Halloween Cocktails 👻
Festive Bites 🧛♀️🦇
No Tricks to these Treats 🍬
Killer Gifts for the Ghost and the Ghostess
Now, that’s a wrap! Leave me a message and let me know your fave idea! And remember, Halloween isn’t just a day, it’s a season!!! 🎃
