It caught on in a flash! A monster mash themed Halloween party is the perfect way to celebrate this spooky season! Greet your guests with a little flair by creating a Halloween balloon garland and a DIY champagne serving wall where drinks are served via monsters' hands. Free printable signs with fun Halloween phrases like "Pick Your Poison" and "They Did the Mash" really deliver the theme and message of this unique Halloween party. Inside, ghoulish turns glam with a richly appointed Monster Mash tablescape featuring creepy eyeballs and monster accents. A unique Halloween centerpiece sits atop metallic dishes and a custom Bite Bar serves up champagne and small Halloween appetizers.
While working in the lab late one night, this party idea gave such a fright! The color palette for this Halloween party consists of deep black, metallic purple, pink and white. Guests will spot your party from afar when your porch is spilling over with a wall of colorful Halloween balloons and a DIY Champagne Wall. Free printable signs are edged with moss and read, "They Did The Mash". The door is draped in shredded black table covers for an especially eerie entrance.
Pick Your Poison
Halloween party goers love a friendly scare, and this unique Halloween porch delivers the fright factor AND a wow factor! Green boxwood mats were used to create the champagne wall display where pale skinned, creeptastic monster hands are mounted to hidden, sturdy supports.
Filled plastic champagne glasses were then placed into each monstrous hand. As your ghoul and guy friends enter your party, they can simply pluck a glass from the wall. Incorporating filled Halloween treat bags would be another fun way to repurpose this unique Halloween display! Get the free printable "Pick Your Poison" sign, and add some "graveyard moss" around the edges for an extra frightful effect.
Bewitching Entry Details
Arranged on the other side of the porch, a velvety witch hat was embellished with large flowers and a serpentine striped Halloween ribbon. Voluminous ostrich feathers were added, along with some black fringe trim, for a truly spellbinding look. To create an elevated stand for this creation, a wood flower box was sectioned off with masking tape then painted with black and pink craft paint and a pinch of glitter. Piles of balloons in pink and purple laid atop creepy cloth, and a chilling "Cheers" sign was painted in a bold shade of pink and placed in front.
Can you spy a creepy detail in the witch hat? "Eye" think party goers will jump when they find it!
Upon entering the party, guests saw our focal point; a Halloween balloon garland draped from one end of the room to another. The round dining table was draped with a shimmering purple tablecloth and a runner of black and silver starry gossamer. A painted cotton runner was also placed onto the table and was laid with a length of gauzy grey fabric. Layering color, pattern and texture is a beautiful way to achieve a luxurious, Halloween look. White chairs were set around the table, completing the chic Halloween look.
Don't Lose Your Head, Darlings
A leering jack-o'-lantern resembling the Headless Horseman made for a fitting party centerpiece. This unique Halloween centerpiece was creating using a pumpkin ground breaker decoration painted with pink and purple spray paint, then filled with starry gossamer, plumes of white faux pampas grass, ostrich feathers, black centerpiece sprays, and large blooms of pink and purple flowers. We displayed the pumpkin on a round box for height. A tall clear cylinder vase was filled with glittery black orbs and fluffy faux pampas plumes. Creepy monster eyeballs were displayed atop a purple vase and placed around the table and seemed to peer curiously around the room. Mercury glass votives were also scattered around the table.
Metallic Accents Dazzle
The rich colors of this elegant Halloween party are reflected in the place settings as well. Metallic purple hexagonal plates and matching dessert plates were set for each guest. Coffin trays with bright pink interiors were perfect for grabbing some appetizers, and conveniently housed a black napkin with a vampire teeth napkin ring. Premium black forks were concealed inside. Ornate black framed place cards were set out at each place setting. Rather than use guests' real names, a fun idea for Halloween is to use humorous Halloween puns like "Anita Shovel", or "Frank N. Stein". Skeleton arms are a cute take home item and add Halloween style to this well appointed table. Get the free printable "They Did the Mash" sign here then decorate a frame to display it!
Skeleton hand champagne glasses rimmed with pink sprinkles stood at the ready for a tasty Halloween cocktail or champagne. They're a graveyard smash!
Serve Up Some Small Bites
We're dying to have you at the Bite Bar; our Halloween appetizer and champagne station. This swanky Halloween display is basically trick-or-treating for adults!
Over the Bite Bar we hung two tone honeycomb diamonds along with pumpkin orange tissue balls and black and orange paper fans.
More monstrous details awaited guests at the Bite Bar. Creepy cloth and starry gossamer made a beautiful base for the free printable "Bite Bar" sign. The Halloween bar sign was decorated with a small faux bat skeleton, and wrapped in a gray gauzy fabric runner fashioned into a bow. The sign was adorned with more creepy graveyard moss and vampire teeth.
Plates of Halloween appetizers like these monstrous meatballs were served with mini appetizer forks, taking them from ghoulish to bougie faster than you can say ,"Boris sent you."
Mini serving spoons are a fabulously way to display gory zombie olives and eyeballs at the Bite Bar. Coupe champagne glasses provided a much needed sip to wash down the screams. It'll really jolt your electrodes!
A floral accent and a free printable sign were also added to the Bite Bar, along with some more small bites in the form of Halloween cupcakes. These Halloween party ideas should have you well on your way to becoming a graveyard smash. Just cue the music, do the Transylvania Twist, and most importantly, have fun!
