Halloween Decorating Cocktail Party

Spookville Haunted Halloween Decor Curtain, on Amazon

THEME:

Kurt Adler Lighted Black Cat Decoration, at Macy's

This party is not for the faint of heart (or the obsessive/compulsive). This is a party in which you relinquish control of your Halloween decor, and allow your friends to come help you decorate.

ACTIVITY:

Haunted House Tealight Holder, from Pier 1 Imports

Serve guests appetizers and cocktails while they go through your bins and storage boxes of Halloween decorations. Let them help you decorate your house inside and out. After every creative idea is exhausted, every fake cobweb strewn in corners, and every last glittery bat stapled to the wall, serve everyone dinner and dessert. Take pics at the end of the night for everyone's Facebook albums.
