Spooky Halloween


Halloween is one of my favorite holidays!! I created this SPOOKY HALLOWEEN party for the ORIENTAL TRADING web site. I was so excited when they contacted me to style a Halloween Party using their awesome products!
They have so many Halloween products that it made it hard to pick my favorite ones! I decided to go with the Spooky Soiree Party Collection. This collection has coordinated paper goods, party favors, candy, cupcake collars with picks, place cards, table runner, serving plates and decorations to make it easier to put this Spooky Halloween together!
The sweet table was created by using a Black Birdcage as a focal point. I also used the Skulls on top of the long candle holders, Spiderweb Candelabra and the Spooky Bird Spindles to add some spookiest to the table. The backdrop was created by using the Mad Scientist Wall Background along with some Creepy Cloth and Spider Decals
I just LOVE the Skeleton Hand Glass ! It sure brought some spooky to the table! I ordered the personalized Spooky Soiree Bottle Labels  and used it for the drinks and for the candy containers.
The drink table came all together thanks to the Skull-Shaped Drink Dispenser and for the 2-Liter Drink Bottle Labels! I also decorated the table using some of scary spiders.
The table sitting was created by using the Spooky Soiree Party Collection along with some Feathered CrowsSkeleton Hand Glass and the Silhouette Chandelier. I used the Round Spiderweb Tabletopper  and Creepy Cloth on top of a black plastic tablecloth.
My daughter was a cute Vamparina for this photoshoot. :)
I dressed up the drinks by using black tulle, black straws and glued a mini skull on top of each drink.
Here is the look of the setting once the Fog Machine did its magic! It looked soooo cool!
I also decorated my front door using the Halloween Silhouette Decor Kit and Creepy Cloth. The wreath was made using red and black boas wrapped around a plain wreath. I added a Skull and some scary spiders to the wreath.

Frightfully Fancy Halloween Party




We had our Frightfully Fancy Halloween yesterday for some of my daughter's friends and it was so much FUN! 

I used the Haunted House sign from Party City as the focus of the dessert/treats table. For the backdrop, I used 2 foam boards covered with black fabric and added some Spider Fans.

 To display the Swirly Lollipops, I used a cupcake stand and tied some cute ribbons to the lollipops.
 Some of the treats were chocolate chip cookies, graveyard cupcakes, gum balls, chocolate skulls, rocky candy and black candy stick.



Before they hit the sweet table, the children enjoyed some witch's fingers sandwiches, popcorn and eye ball bagel pizzas.
The Frightfully Fancy Halloween party goods collection was the perfect addition to our table!

 Our backyard got a little spooky for the party!
The kids had a blast!!

Happy Halloween!!

Trick or Treat Party


 After styling the Spooky Halloween party for ORIENTAL TRADING, I decided to host a friendly one for my kids and their friends. I found the cutest set called SWEET HALLOWEEN. This theme has coordinated paper goods, party favors, banners, props, table cloth and snack stand. It is really cute and sweet!
This party came out so adorable! For the backdrop, I used 2 foam boards covered with black fabric, added some orange paper fans and the Halloween Treat Glitter Cutouts.
 Since this was a Trick or Treat party, I used the Halloween Candy Bucket to represent the trick or treaters! I filled them with some yummy sweet popcorn. I also served popcorn balls and pumpkin brownies from Walmart.
My daughter dressed up as Rockin' Out Witch and no witch is complete without their Witch's Brew!
Some of the treats included Orange and Lavender Gumballs, Candycorn, Trail Mix, brownies and Candy-Filled Straws but before they were able to "trick or treat" around the sweet table, our guests enjoyed some veggies and "candy corn" sandwiches. I opted to display the candy inside Clear Candy Containers since so many of our guests were small and didn't want any of them getting hurt getting the candy from a glass jar. :)



The outdoor set up was a candy dreamland for any trick or treater! I really like the  Halloween Treat Glitter Cutouts. They come in different sizes and the huge lollipops added so much color and fun! You can actually use them for a Candy Land party theme! How about the cute Ghost Chair Covers? A cute addition to the table setting without being too scary!
A party is not complete unless you have games or/and crafts!! You want to keep your trick or treaters entertained with  a lot of fun!
As for craft, each guest made their own Trick or Treat bag to keep all the cute prizes they received after playing our fun games!
We played Pin the Spider on the Web, Jack O'Lantern Disk Game, Bean Bag Toss and Candy Corn Bowling! 
The Prizes were a big hit!

Have a sweet Halloween!
