Theme Colors
For theme colors, use a color palette of Orange, Black and Metallics…We love the color palette for this party theme, with its typical orange and black tones paired back to an unexpected pop of metallics and clean whites. Whether you are a girly girl or an all-black-all-day gal, you will love it!
Incorporate Beautiful, Bold Florals Into Party Decor
We love the surprise element of beautiful, bold florals throughout your birthday decor scheme, with the dark blooms adding an air of mystery over the entire party! A great soiree is only as good as its floral arrangements….#wordsfromGrandmere
Use Spider Webs As Party Decorations
“NO, THOSE AREN’T COBWEBS, THEY’RE JUST MY WICKEDLY STYLISH TABLE COVERS”
Ugly table cloths don’t have to be a party of your party decor….Lacy, cobweb table coverings are both festive and sophisticated chic additions to your place settings. A skull centerpiece works as the perfect final touch…This spiderweb table covering would look great on your dining room table, and you know it!
Black Lace Masks As Party Favors
With Spook-tacular, we wanted to create the effect of dark, mysterious glamour throughout, ending with our Black Lace Masks as party favors!
If you’re having a girly glam Halloween bash, these masks are perfect for your guests, and they basically guarantee that you will have a line full of happy guests leaving your party at the end of the night!
Add Metallic Accents
These look especially good in unexpected places….like in the polka dot pattern on your party favor goodie bags…Or in the metallic curtain (doubling as a photo background) you have hanging against a wall…just keep your eye on the shady skelly in the corner….
Happy Halloween Balloons
No party is complete without balloons and we think this theme should have balloons featuring the holiday fitting phrases “BOO!” and “Happy Halloween” in metallic, giant letters… Nothing screams PARTY louder than huge, foil balloons!
COSTUMES, COSTUMES, COSTUMES!
Get creative with your costumes this year! Another Halloween filled with private parties and crazy costumes is almost upon us…are you ready for yours?
Between updates on classic costumes (witches got a sexy makeover), Superhero movies that translated into epic costume ideas for both men AND women, phenomenon like emojis and new iPhones and new takes on Disney characters across the board (hello, Belle and Beast!), 2017 made it easy to have a variety of costume options to choose from this year.
So, make sure you include these fun costume options into your Happy Halloween celebration this year! At Happy Birthday Girl, we don’t take Halloween lightly, and will ABSOLUTELY be rocking one of these pop culture inspired creative costumes at our holiday party…we’ll make sure to take some pics
Spooky Photo Shoots
Turning a party into the photo shoot of a lifetime takes only about 10 second, thanks to iPhone magic and millennials! Or better yet, set up a designated photo station with the backdrop of your choice (cough, see the metallic curtain from above, cough) and use Halloween themed photo props like the ones shown below…
Halloween Party Games
