Hosting a Halloween Dinner Party + A Link-Up

Hello Friends.  I have a different take on Taste of Tuesday today.  I’m hosting a Halloween link-up party with three other fabulous and very talented ladies.   Join me,  LisaCait, and Katie and share a recent post that has anything to do with Halloween.  Today, I will be talking about hosting a Halloween dinner party; but it can really be about anything…decor, fashion, costumes, party ideas, recipes or a great DIY project.  We hope that you will hop around, meet some great bloggers, and get a few good ideas to use for the holidays!
If you have been around this blog for a little while, then you know that I love to throw a fun dinner party.  Once I started decorating for Halloween this year, I ended up setting my entire dining room table and I felt the need to throw a little Halloween shindig.  I started Pinteresting and found the perfect combination of food and drinks to serve for the evening.   Here it is:
Tombstone Cheese Plate //  Mini Cauldron Kettles for Soup Bowls //  Pumpkin Peppers //  Halloween Mummy Oreo Truffles // Pumpkin Punch Bowl with Martha Stewart // Pumpkin Spice Halloween Punch Recipe

My table is set and ready for guests.  I spray painted mini pumpkins with chalk board paint and I will use a chalk pen to write each guest’s name.

I may pick up a few fun “spooky items” to set the bar.  I love the simplicity of this style from the Every Girl.   I might even add these cute coasters on sale or these boo cocktail picks. 
The last thing I have to do is actually invite some guests to my party.  I’ve been known to put things together at the last minute.  I will probably use one of my favorite little iPhone apps to put together a cute invite.  Have you ever heard of Red Stamp??  They make it so easy to text or email an adorable little invitation or fun message to just tell someone hello.  I better get on that this week…or hubby and I can just have all the pumpkin punch to ourselves 🙂  
Is anyone else having any type of Halloween party this year???  We’re going to a friends house for Halloween night so I will probably be stalking all of you for some cute ideas on a fun treat to bring to their house.  If you’re having a dinner party or Halloween get together, here are a few tips that I shared last month on hosting at home as well!!  
Now grab the button below and link up with AnnieLisaCait, and Katie.

  3. I love that you spray paint mini pumpkins and use those for place cards at your table. What a great idea! You could probably transition that idea into Thanksgiving too… maybe just with a different color spray paint?

  6. I love your table settings!! Such a cute idea with the chalkboard pumpkins. A bar cart like that would be so so perfect for a Halloween party! I'm not sure we can get a party together this year either but that Red Stamp site is a great idea 🙂
