Tips for Hosting a Halloween Cocktail Party
It's easier than you might think to put together a cocktail party that celebrates Halloween. Simply by combining creepy decor with Halloween cocktails and appetizers, you can impress your guests and make it a night to remember. Check out these party ideas:
- Welcome your party guests with Halloween decor on the front porch, such as a set of black chalkboard tombstones with spooky messages written on them. You could place a jack-o-lantern beside them to provide ambient lighting and coordinate with the Halloween theme.
- Adding Halloween-inspired style to the living room can be as easy as filling a glass vase with miniature decorative skulls. Or, you could group the skulls around a black pillar candle for a spine-chilling look that's also stylish. Pottery Barn even has flameless candles that you can leave unattended while you entertain your guests.
- Accent your bar area with a skull-shaped shot glass or serve your guests Halloween cocktails in goblets with silver skeleton-hand accents. If you're serving food at your party, consider themed treats like focaccia bread shaped like fingers, or create crescent-roll-wrapped hot dogs that look like mummies.
- Get your dining table ready for the party by draping a decorative tablecloth over it. A black tablecloth coordinates well with most any Halloween decor and provides protection for your table. Finish the look with a table centerpiece featuring skulls, pumpkins, ravens or other classic Halloween symbols.
Seating for Your Halloween Party
Once you've decorated your home for a Halloween party and figured out what you want to serve, the next step is making sure you have ample seating for your guests. Folding chairs are always an easy solution for parties, although you could also use a stylish bench seat upholstered in black to add style and extra seating to your home. If weather permits, you could host your party outdoors. Pottery Barn has outdoor furniture such as patio sets that are great for entertaining.
Shop the selection of barware and decor at Pottery Barn to make your Halloween cocktail party a success.
