A Boo-rific Halloween Party!

I am excited today to finally share with you our NEW Boo-rific table for Halloween. We having been sharing so many fabulous Halloween ideas like the blue pumpkins and our Halloween Terrarium and today I wanted to move on to the main event. This year I wanted to create a adult/child friendly party. I think when our kids are little, we have to go to so many parties and I don’t know about you but I would like a little something for me! So I filled a table with store bought treats and tasty drinks and goodies for all.

The beauty of this table is it was all done on a budget! The most expensive things purchased was the Cinderella and Fairy Tale pumpkins. But we of course reused them for the front of our door area. The sweet little owl (who will live in my home now!) was from the $1 bins at Target. The black decorative frame was also from Target and the white vase in the middle was from Marshalls. Too easy right?! Most of our tasty treats were purchased at the grocery store too.

These oreo cakesters are a fan favorite! They look just like woopie pies but they come in a box. My kind of treat!

Our ghost cookies also came from the store! Put in a pail from the $1 bins from Target with a little moss stuffing and some gumballs, tied with one of our party tags and you are done! A great party favor for little hands to take home.

I made some “Green Goblin Goo” in some antique jello molds. I swear jello molds need to make a resurgence! I think they are so pretty and a little different to display treats and snacks.

These darling owl chocolate lollipops by FunFavors are almost too cute to eat! I think my daughter ate 3 of them off the bat. Mixed in with Salted Caramel Cake Pops from Starbucks and displayed in these birch lollipop stands by Cross My Love and your guests can not resist. TIP – get plenty of back up of these tasty treats!

Party flags are quick becoming a staple to any party decorations. We started offering them with all our party packages this last year. Displayed in a fun container, they can really make your table pop.

Fun colored drinks to match your party are a fun way to tie in your color scheme. These orange crush sodas were just perfect wrapped with our custom bottle wraps.

And we can not forget our cupcakes! These red velvet cupcakes were from our local grocery store. When I do not have time to make my own (which is sadly often) I head right to the bakery department.

TIP – For dressing up store bought cupcakes

:: Pop in a cupcake topper to adorn the top
:: Use a fun patterned paper to wrap around the wrapper. These we used our coordinating printable cupcake wrappers.
:: Label it! I love using food table cards to let guests know what is on the menu.

Some perfectly placed popcorn cones amongst our pumpkins completed our treats!

To-Go boxes wrapped with a bow are the perfect way to send your guests home with any treats left over.

Design Elements to Recreate

:: Moss covered styrofoam block
:: Drape cheesecloth above the table for visual interest
:: Attached chevron goodie bags to branch display using wooden paper clips
:: Create a banner using paper fans from Party City. Use glue dots to attach printable party banner from our shop!

{DIY Tutorial} Spooky Halloween Terrarium

It has been getting quite spooky around here and I thought it would be fun to share an easy DIY project today that will wow your friends and family and might spook your family! I have been fascinated with terrariums for a long time and think Halloween is the perfect holiday to create one.

Here is what you will need:

(1) a cloche (this one I have had for years and is from Pottery Barn) or you can use a large jar.

And a white plate/platter

(2) Moss

(3) Ribbon and a bow

(4) Fun Halloween novelty items

Take your moss and fill your plate. I added extra to certain areas to create fullness and make it bumpy.

Add in your novelty items.

And you will get a spooky scene!

Tie on your ribbon and adorn with a bow. And you are done!

This is where you will find ours. It adorns our breakfast bar. My husband actually had to take a second look when he came home from work. Super easy and quick! You could even make a kids version and make a pumpkin patch for their room. It’s getting spooky around here!

Etsy Halloween Roundup

I think it is no surprise that etsy has become the mecca for original handcrafted shoppers like us. No more is the day (or rarely) do we go to a large department store website to order a gift- at least I don’t. Halloween is one of the most fun holidays to decorate for and etsy offers some great alternatives to the store bought Halloween decor.

This pumpkin garland is perfect for a fireplace mantel or a staircase.

I love how rustic this witchy Halloween pillow is!

I would love a row of these burlap pumpkins on my mantel this year!

I definitely have a thing for colored bottles. These would be fabulous lined up and you could wrap them with different patterned scrap book paper and some twine for a vintage touch.

{from French Country Life}

 Oh how I love these Boo Blocks! I could use these for years and years. Perfect for an entry to welcome guests.

Lastly, every door needs a great wreath. I love how graphic this one is. Sure to see from the street!
