Glamoween Halloween Party

This fantastic GLAMOWEEN HALLOWEEN PARTY was submitted by Maureen Anders of Anders Ruff!

Maureen said- “This year, we stepped away from the traditional orange and black and designed a fresh new printable design collection full of all things Halloween Glam. Pink + Purple + Lime mixed with Black and grey makes for a Glam Halloween. Glam-o-ween!

Guests were invited with a glam Halloween printable invitation that we embellished with little crystals.

A fun pink chandelier was the centerpiece focus on the backdrop. Instead of using a real chandelier, we designed a printable chandelier silhouette and printed/mounted it on foam core board and hung it from our grey chevron backdrop. Our printable “Glamoween” banner was strung from sparkly ribbon and hung on the front of the black dresser.

Lime green candies lined our trays to add a pop of color. Classic white platters were used to display fabulous cookies by Whip It Good Cookies. Erin decorated the cookies to match our printable graphics and they were delicious!

Black glass cake stands were used to display the cake (Got What It Cakes) as well as cupcakes that were adorned with Anders Ruff printable spooky glam cats. Chocolate covered Skeleton oreos (using a mold from Fancy Flours) were also displayed with the cupcakes.

A gorgeous lime and white chevron runner from A to Zebra Celebrations was used as a runner to display extra goodies.

Sweet Things designed a custom glam witch costume for our little model/guest of honor, Willow. Willow loved the drink bottles (Polka Dot Market) that we “glammed up” by embellishing with glittery ribbon and our printable drink wrap. Straws were flagged and stuck to the sides of the bottles with a glue dot.

Guests didn’t leave empty handed. Tricks and treats and everything sweet. Glittery glam gumballs from Polka Dot Market were bagged and topped with a folding bag topper from the Glam-o-ween printable collection.

The Glam-o-ween printable collection is available for purchase and instant download in the Anders Ruff Shop.”

Halloween Glam Party

This fun HALLOWEEN GLAM PARTY was submitted by Debbie of Wants and Wishes Design! I love the little haunted house milk boxes and all of the decor!

Debbie said- “I’m so excited for my new Halloween collection with you Kara… I wanted to create a glam Haunted House that was spooky while still being fun, glamorous and whimsical. Our collection includes a haunted house carton that you can filled with treats for a little favor or that you can let them fill as you “Trick or Treat” at the table. I used the spiderweb window in the milk carton as the backdrop in the dessert bar to make it look like the we are “in the haunted house”. We staged our dessert table to look like it was in the cellar of a witches spell binding den. Bats are hanging upside down from a broomstick we made {tutorial coming on our website- less then 5 minute broomstick and under $5}. This is great for a prop or a costume! We had monster candles lit flanking the “ding dong the witch is dead” treat and coffin boxes with Dracula sugar cookies. A cage held “fresh bats” {Hershey bars} for ingredients needed in spells and potions. Other desserts were gummy toads and “glittery” cupcakes. my favorite treat I created for this collection is our ding dong the witch is dead. We took a ding dong and drizzled green chocolate to make it look like a witch was melting and attached our witches feet printable to it {from our printable collection}. Happy Haunting!!!! For a fun Halloween activity we made “Haunted House” gram cracker houses, like gingerbread house but spooky and with chocolate gram crackers. You could also make with sugar cookies and color the dough!. The kids haunted houses are really quite fun because they are not perfect with creaks and droops that look extra haunted! They even took pieces of broken graham crackers and made signs and multi-layered parts. Purple grape red vines were used as trees. One little guy didn’t really want to decorate as much as fill his house with the candy.”

Glam Gothic Halloween Party!

This weekend’s winning party feature goes to this excellent

Glam Gothic Girls Night Out Party

submitted by Entertain Exchange!

I just love the girly twist to this Halloween Party!

“There was lots of bling, glitter and feathers around the room in silver, black and pink. Old church windows glow setting the mood in the room. The Vampire Kiss Martinis (Cosmopolitans) were a big hit. Glasses were rimed with dripping blood with gummy vampire teeth hung on the edge. Handmade invitations were made from blank note cards.”

Wonderful job, Susan!

Thanks for your submission.

Congratulations on being the winning party feature today!
