I think it is safe to say we’ve all experienced a not so great Halloween party at some stage… and nobody wants their name added to the long list of forgettable nights!

Pick a Decorating Theme and PLEASE make it something scary. Things can get a bit muddled and messy looking if you just put a bunch of random things around the place, you want to set a mood. My favourite party themes are…
Carnival
Witches Lair
Zombie Apocolypse
Characters from the mind of Stephen King
Backdrop!! If you have a really good backdrop you don’t need to invest too much in decorations, for example… if you go with a Carnival theme and you put these around the walls, everything else kind of falls into place..

Once you have set your theme and picked your backdrop, it’s time to move on to thinking about the entrance.. you don’t want to spend too much money, but you want it to be fun, Halloween for adults is about being a kid again, being able to let loose and just have a bit of fun.. so decorations you would normally use for a kids party… are fair game!
Take a look at some ideas below to get your creative juices flowing..
Again I’m going to go in the theme of Carnival to make things nice and easy..
A simple thing like a tinsel foil hanging in the doorway as you come through to the party area is a great idea to add a bit more colour to your carnival theme, you can, of course, get these in black too for other themes. Link attached here
BLACK TABLECLOTHS!!! and I do mean black. Black adds a bit of class to the look
Take a look at this one for a nice clean look… link to product here
DRINKS BUCKET to keep things cool 😎
BLACK PAPER CUPS (Biodegradable and compostable of course)
HALLOWEEN CAKE!
OK so I absolutely insist on this one if you want to add the wow factor you have to invest in a Halloween cake.
HALLOWEEN MASCOT to suit your theme!
OK so we are going to go with the carnival theme again on this one. When we say mascot we mean something like this that we found over on Partydelights.ie and absolutely loved… Your mascot should reflect your party theme and be big enough to take photos with or really grab attention.
HALLOWEEN PARTY FOOD
Every party of course needs party food, and what could be better than a Halloween-themed platter
Thanks for reading 🎃🎃🎃
