This spectacular BLACK & WHITE HALLOWEEN PARTY was submitted by Debbie of Wants and Wishes Design!
Debbie said- “This was a Black and White Sophisticated Halloween Party! I wanted to create a little different Halloween collection….. something that would be suitable for all ages: adults, teen and the young kids! I went with the classic black and white color scheme {like the old Hitchcock movies}. This allows you to pop any color you want or keep it a classic with black and white. If you are doing a teen scary movie party you could pop red with “bloody” items and watch a thriller! For the young kids, add a pop of orange for a not too scary party. For the adults, you can stick with the black and white and and watch the classic old movies along with it.
To create this Spooktacular Halloween Party we had “sinfully sweet” candy and desserts. Candy bars, rock candy suckers, M&M’s, mini mint spider eggs for refreshing the pallet. Some of the baked goods we had were chocolate cupcakes with black and white swirled frosting, homemade ghost and spider suckers, and cookies and cream popcorn.
In a tree, we hung witches caldrons closed with our 2″ printable topper as the “lid” secured with washi tape! There was also a DIY spider pom pom (tutorial coming soon to our blog!).”

We have another fabulous giveaway for you this week! Win a $250 Halloween Party Pack from Meri Meri!! Have you heard about, Meri Meri?! If you haven’t, you’re missing out….THE cutest party supplies & more! I’m a little obsessed with ALL of their products!
“It began in Los Angeles, 1985 . . . Meredithe (who’s childhood nickname was Meri Meri) sitting at her kitchen table . . . some scissors and pens, a BIG pot of glitter. Our first cards were made that way.
The magic spread. . . Local Stationery stores in Los Angeles loved those cards and asked for more. One kitchen table and one pair of scissors wasn’t enough. We needed lots of kitchen tables and an ENORMOUS pot of glitter.
Then, in 1987, we presented our little range of handmade cards at the National Stationery Show in New York. The response was phenomenal. Pretty soon there were major stores like Bergdorf Goodman taking on our range for their Christmas season. More kitchen tables and GREAT BIG SACKS of glitter!
The company grew from that little network of Moms working from home from Meredithe’s designs and direction.
Today . . . We don’t design on kitchen tables anymore. We now work in studios in a 400 year old building, overlooking an ancient churchyard in a little town called Cheltenham, 1 hour west of London, England. But we still have our scissors and our pens and all the glitter . .
These days Meredithe heads a studio of twenty designers and art workers and Meri Meri products are sold all over the world. Life is a little busier than it used to be. We’re working on lots of new projects, from our traditional cards and invitations, Bakeware, Gifts, Partyware and so much more!”

I was so excited to be able to use my antique piano to display the set-up for this party! A witches ball definitely fits with a “musical” piano, don’t you think? Plus, the Witches Ball Printable Halloween Collection from my shop is one of my favorites and had everything I needed to complete the party! I just love the silhouette witches and vintage/musical feel.
The kids drank their spooky green punch {with added dry ice} from these cute little cauldrons. Each cauldron held a Gray Striped Paper Straw topped with printable …
One of my favorite elements of the party was the witches ball gown. It is actually an old wedding dress found at a thrift store then dyed and painted black and put on a dress form. It turned out just how I pictured it! It looks just like a gown that a witch would wear to a “witches ball”. I love the little skeleton tailor “mending” the dress…
These Witch Broom Pens from my shop were a hit! I had someone customized them. They make such a fun and festive party favor!
I mod podged one of the onto the lid of the cake stand pictured below….
I made fun little utensil and napkin kits, packed up in mini plastic cauldrons. Plastic Skeleton Utensils from my shop were placed together with Cream Ric-Rac Ribbon, and then tied onto the handle of each cauldron. A green napkin was then inserted into the cauldrons, as well….
Black Candy Strings from my shop were displayed in an apothecary jar. I labeled it “Witch Hair” using the printable …
I thought these muted green apple candy rings piled into an Apothecary Jar made perfect “warts”! I mod podged one of the onto the jar….
These Halloween bottle labels from my shop are the perfect addition to any halloween party! Stick them on old bottles {this one was an olive oil bottle} and apothecary jars…
I wrapped Burlap Ribbon and one of the printable around this jar filled with sour candy straws. I labeled them “Worms” using one of the printable ….
These adorable, edible broomsticks were made out of pretzel rods. Using the Black Cherry Candy Strings from my shop, we cut dozens of small strips {each about 4″ long} and “glued” them around the ends of the pretzels with royal icing. We then wrapped a small length of a green apple sour strip at a spot about 1/2″ from the end of the licorice strings. We secured that with royal icing as well. That’s it! A perfect Witches Ball party treat {and favor}…
Oops! It looks like some witches fell right into their cupcakes! This was so easy {and fun!} to create. I cut several Gray Striped Paper Straws and Lime Green Striped Paper Straws in half and glued the printable to the tops. Then I stuck a matching “pair” of the legs/shoes into each cupcake. These would be perfect for a Wizard of Oz party, too!
Using Jute Twine to hang, the was hung from a spray painted wooden broom. The broom was mounted above the entry door!…
I started the party by sending out the printable Witches Ball Invitations. I framed the front of the invite to display at the party…
We had a good time thinking of things to write on these Edible Tombstone Cupcake Toppers from my shop! I thought they were perfect on top of the red velvet cupcakes…
In addition to the scary green punch, I also served milk in Glass Milk Bottles {which were adorned with mod podged }. Like the punch cauldrons, each bottle held a Gray Striped Paper Straw topped with printable ….
For the older party guests, there were Clear Plastic Wine Glasses adorned with green apple candy rings {snipped on one edge with kitchen shears}. A creepy effect was given to each glass by turning them upside down and adding drops of black craft paint at the base and then letting it drip down. I also froze plastic spiders with water in ice cube trays and added those to the glasses as well!..
For an inexpensive and easy party backdrop, floor-length strips of Burlap fabric from my shop were hung on the wall behind the piano…
Several of the were attached to twigs from a tree in my front yard. A length of Cream Ric-Rac Ribbon was then tied around each stick. The sticks were then placed into cupcakes. So easy! Beside each cupcake, I placed a white chocolate “bone” that I made using white candy melts and a silicone bone mold…
This witch shoe roller skate was an amazing find at a Victorian shop. I filled it with black and white candy sticks from my shop. Perfect for a Witches Ball!…
this creepy black wreath was made out of plastic GARBAGE BAGS! I simply bent a pool noodle into a circle and secured it with duck tape, then cut the bags into strips and tied them onto the pool noodle. After that, I just stretched the plastic to give it the creep factor!…
