Themed Food – Play around with your food on Halloween. Guests will love to see little pumpkin pies and spider web pizzas. If you don’t want to get that creative consider replacing dipping bowls with little black cauldrons, or serving sweet potato fries & ‘blood’ sauce inside black paper cones.
Themed Beverages – Keep it simple by making a cauldron of ‘spiked’ punch and adding lychees stuffed with blueberries (eyeballs). You can add some dry ice for a fog effect that spills over the bowl. Design some ‘blood red’ cocktails using your liquor of choice, frozen raspberries & red food colouring.
Decorations – The spookier the better. Bats and spiders, ghosts and ghoulish faces. Keep the lights low or scatter burning candles, jack-o’-lantern’s or candle filled jars wrapped in orange crepe paper with creepy black faces drawn on them around the party areas. Consider a beautiful pumpkin setting like the one featured below or these ghosts made of a polystyrene balls draped with shredded muslin. Have plastic bats lining the walls and add baby spiders to your floral arrangements. Set the decorations the night before so that your not rushing around on the day setting up.
