Spooktacular Halloween Party

This darling SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN THEMED PARTY was submitted by Lindi Haws of Love the Day! This whole printable halloween collection can be purchased for only $10 here!

Lindi said this about planning the party- “Hooray for fall and hooray for Halloween! It’s my most favorite holiday and I am anxious for the chili cook-offs, trick-or-treating and of course, Halloween Parties to commence. In an effort to help you prepare for your upcoming festivities, I’ve styled a ‘Spooktacular Halloween’ party with lots of fun ideas on how to throw the perfect boo bash. I wanted to created a theme colorful and bright to appeal to children under 5, but also throw in just enough spooky to delight the older children as well. My 2012 Halloween Collection served as the inspiration for this party and can be purchased here for only $10.”

Candy Corn Themed Halloween Party

This sweet CANDY CORN THEMED HALLOWEEN PARTY was submitted by Kate Petronis of And Everything Sweet!

Here is what Kate had to say about planning the party- “If you’re like me and my family, you LOVE candy corn!!! So when Halloween comes around it is time to bust out the candy corn and party!!! ;) This year I found the most adorable candy corn collection from Mimi’s Dollhouse. I LOVE this design that Holly created using the perfect balance of chevron and polka dots. It was exactly what I was looking for when I had a candy corn dessert table in mind!! I love the way it came out. I created really simple desserts (rice krispie treats, top hat mini cupcakes, lolipops (that I found at the dollar store), and cake pops) all resembling (obviously) candy corn. I also added a little salty snack of cheese puffs (at this point, why try to add anything healthy right?!) to the table in cute little dollar store boxes that I covered with crepe paper streamers to again, resemble candy corn. ITS ALLLLL about the candy corn on this table!!

My daughter and her friends had SUCH a great time. We did a Halloween treasure hunt using scavenger hunt clues to lead the children to different treasures (all stuff I purchased last year at post Halloween sales). We did a cute owl/pumpkin craft as well. And followed it up with desserts and good old fashioned play. :)”

Boo-rific Halloween Party!

This fabulous BOO-RIFIC HALLOWEEN PARTY was submitted by Rebekah Dempsey of A Blissful Nest!

Rebekah said- “Halloween is one of my most favorite times of year and it can be challenging to incorporate a kids and adult party theme. This year we chose a Boo-rific party theme sure to please both! This party was created for under a $100 which also made it budget friendly. Using mostly items from the house and store bought baked goods helped.

I love to personalize as many details as possible and printable decorations lets you do that. From cupcake toppers to personalized bottle wraps a party can have a custom look without the price tag.

Desserts were kept simple. Red velvet cupcakes, ghost cookies and oreo cakesters were all from our local grocery store. Green Goblin Jello made in these antique jello molds were a fun spooky treat! Yummy salt water caramel cake pops from Starbucks mixed with these darling owl chocolate lollipops from FunFavors were a fun grab and go treat for the kids.

For decorations I grabbed some Cinderella and fairytale pumpkins from the local store and placed popcorn cones in between. Birch wood lollipop stands and a cupcake stand from Cross My Love gave the table just the right amount of rustic charm it needed.

So with a few simple tricks you can make a unforgettable Halloween party for all!”

‘The Witch Is In’ Children’s Halloween Party

This adorable ‘THE WITCH IS IN’ CHILDREN’S HALLOWEEN PARTY was submitted by Cris McGrath of Crissy’s Crafts.

Cris said- “For Halloween this year, we had a party with the theme “The Witch is In”. It was loaded with easy and affordable sweets. I truly believe that you don’t have to spend tons of money to have some fun, you just need to be creative! With that in mind, many of our sweets were store bought things that got a makeover. ;)

Before our witches hit the sweet table, they enjoyed some delicious witches’ brew sandwiches and edible brooms (cheese stick and pretzels). Some of our treats were cotton candy brew, cauldron cake pops, witch hats (chocolate covered cookies with a kiss on top), witch pops (dressed up Dum Dum lollipops), toads (chocolate frogs), wicked witch’s rings (lollipop rings), sweet brooms (mini Reese’s and pretzels) and witch’s chocolate fingers, to name a few.

As for activities, we played witches freeze dance, musical chairs and Bingo. Our witches had a blast!”
