Depending on your tastes there are many quick and easy options for decorating your table for a Halloween Dinner Party. Here are some easy and original ideas I compiled that I thought you would enjoy.
Create inexpensive placemats – use Halloween or orange and black scrapbook paper! If you go to your local scrapbook paper/arts and crafts store, such as Joann’s Fabric and Craft, you will find so many choices. Be sure to look for the large 12â€x12†paper. Match the paper with paper plates or your own white plates. Also, consider the background that you will choose if you are going to go with an all black table cloth, or you could pick white if you don’t wish to have such a “dark†look and accent with orange and black!
Create Wine Glass Accents – using little spiders, which you can purchase online very inexpensively from Oriental Trading, click here to view black spiders or here for jeweled spiders. Or take a trip to your local party store, they should have many options like skulls, ghosts, whatever your preference.
Make festive place tag holders – I love this idea – they are so cute – from Martha Stewart, who else!? Click here to view the training video on how to make these very simple and cute tags.
Add a pumpkin table center piece – Hollow out the bottom of small pumpkins and use a battery operated votive for a flickering light. Tier your display with a cake stand or candle holders until you have the desired height. For those who like a little sparkle in their decorations, Martha Stewart offers a training video on how to create glittered pumpkins, click here to view that video. Use a pumpkin as the vase for flowers, click here to view instructions.
Another inexpensive decorative idea is to use Halloween stamps and ink on clear glass hurricanes or votives. Add an orange or black candle, with some candy corn, or black jelly beans at the base and you have completed a great Halloween Candle display. After you’re done, glass cleaner will completely remove the stamped ink and it will be ready to be used for another season!
Be sure to create a great digital invitation to your party, check out PunchBowl.com to view the free digital options available. After you’ve picked the date, be sure to let me know, I’ll bring the wine!
Enjoy your Halloween and have a wonderful party!
