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, Lisa, Cait, 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!!

Love the tombstone cheese board! And your table is perfect for halloween/fall!!
And now I want to throw a Halloween dinner party, even if it's just my husband and I! Love these ideas!! How great is that cheese board?!
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?
LOVE the fun Halloween POPS!
The tombstone cheese board is great!! I was in Williams Sonoma the other day and they had a ton of great stuff to dress up your bar area for Halloween!!
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 🙂
Your table setting is gorgeous! You make me want to throw a Halloween party!
Those mummy truffles are SUPER cute!! And I love that spider web soup… I just may have to do that for a fun festive dinner idea! I'm on a huge soul kick right now for some reason…
What cute ideas! I love the smoking punch and the tombstone cheese tray!
I love that cheese board! I know I've said this a million times but your table is gorgeous!
