Halloween Fun Ideas for Party and Home

Planning a Halloween party is just as much fun as the party itself. The planning, the arranging and preparations are great enjoyment for me. So you get the benefit of my planning for this year's Halloween party.

My Halloween decor is party creepy and part scary, with a little humor added in. First, I start off with my creepy cloth and plan where I'm going to put that. Usually it's in multiple places in my home. With parties, I enjoy putting some creepy cloth at the top of entry. Guests have to work their way through what feels like an old spider web. I stretch the cloth quite a bit to get this cobweb feel.

I also use plenty of creepy cloth for draped tables. This gives that very old effect to my rooms, as though the table cloths have been decaying for hundreds of years. Just for fun, I tack in a few plastic spiders coming up the side of the cloths as well.

My guest bathroom door always has a Halloween door cover, too. My favorite is the skeleton on the toilet reading the paper. But there are others, too. There seems to never be a question about where to locate the bathroom after the first guests start telling everyone about my Halloween door cover.

Food becomes part of my fun decor as well. When I choose food items that continue that Halloween ghoulish cookbooks that I work from. These help me create the most amazing menu of creepy and spooky food items. They have to taste great, no matter what they look like, so I found those great cookbooks with the creepy looking food that delights with how delicious they are.

theme, my buffet table contributes to the whole effect. I have a number of

The final touch is usually those sweet treats that I offer my guests. And chocolate is a favorite, and expected, dessert. Using Halloween candy molds is the easiest way. These I make in advance since they store well in the refrigerator.

So add some fun to your next Halloween party or for the family. Get some creepy cloth to decorate your home, add a Halloween bathroom door cover for a little humor and start planning the perfect foods. Ghoulish cookbooks for the fun and tasty and Halloween candy molds for dessert. Your Halloween will be a delight this year.

Halloween Party Fun with Candy Molds

Halloween is such a fun time of the year. It's one of those holidays that look forward to just about all year long. Whether you are planning a party for friends, a party for the school kids, or just want to enjoy your own fun, the Halloween foods are a big part of it.

Of course, you can have things like severed fingers styled foods, or eyeball deviled eggs, but what about those fun sweets? We all like to have little extra chocolates and desserts for any party. Halloween candy molds make it easy to create some fun or spooky food effects.

Certainly use melting chocolate so that they form into the shapes properly, but that's easy to do when you have the right kind of candy to work with. Then have some fun. Making your own Halloween candy can be a very creative endeavor if you like.

Create some faces with different colored chocolates and toothpicks, or just play with a little mixing of black and orange colors to make swirled candies. Test out a few if this is your first time. You get the fun of eating the failures!

Molded candy makes a great idea for taking to parties that you are attending as well. You can match the candy mold to the type of party. If it's to be a scary costume event, take brain shaped candies, or chocolate spiders. But, take things like pumpkins and cat shaped candy to kids parties.

No matter what your excuse, making Halloween candy using molds is always fun and creative. And always well received by your guests.

Unique Halloween Party Decorations: Bottle Labels

When I went looking for something different to help decorate for my big Halloween party this year, I found so fun ideas. New ways to add little vignettes of spooky or ghoulish decor. New party accessories and new fun inflatables to add to my party decor.

One of those really fun things I found was bottle labels in Halloween themes. Imagine having your wine bottles, beer bottles, even soda or water bottles labeled with things like: Witch's Brew, Poison, and Goblin Brains. What a fun way to add more Halloween decor to your table.

The bottle labels come in sets of 8 for a small price, so I can get lots of different kinds to make up fun decorations for my beverages. That was always a sore spot with me. I usually ended up keeping the beverage table separate and could only add a bit of decor.

While my buffet food table was loaded with those ghoulish and freakish foods all decked out as eyeballs, brains, and severed fingers, my drinks were just tubs of iced down bottles. Boring! But, this year, I will be loading my drink tubs with appropriate Halloween style beverages.

I won't completely hide the real labels. I want my guests to know what they will be drinking (the real stuff that is actually safe for them) but I do want to add more fun ideas for the decorating and dress up even the beverages. Get some Halloween beverage labels for yourself and have more fun at your party, too.

Use Halloween Posters for Decorating

What fun it is to decorate your home for Halloween! I know it is for me. Halloween is one of my favorite times to really make my home wild with great decorations. And posters make a really great way to spruce up the look.

If you want to go crazy with the spooky, ghoulish and gory, there are great posters to add to your walls. If you prefer more sweet and charming, you can find plenty of posters for that look, too. Not to mention the stuff in between.

When I'm planning a great Halloween party, I love to use posters to help decorate and set the mood. A zombie party will, of course, have posters of zombie's and the zombie invasion. But a ghostly party may include the friendlier ghost posters. It all depends on the theme of the party.

Either way, Halloween posters make great decoration options. Try them out yourself this year!
