A Spooktacular Styled Tablescape To Inspire Your Halloween Party

A Spooktacular styled tablescape for Halloween

I cannot believe fall is here! This is easily my favorite time of year; and Halloween is easily a top 3 favorite holiday for me! This year, I decided to take part in a Halloween design challenge with some peeps in the industry. I put together this spooktacular styled tablescape, and I’m so excited with how it turned out! Check out my #TablescapeSpooktacular design below!

This Halloween Tablescape Design contest was put on by my friends at ‘Cause We Can Events and by Ginny from Au Petit Salon Design. Here’s how it works:

Head to ‘Cause We Can Events and Au Petit Salon Design blog! There you will find all of the Halloween Tablescape design submissions. Each will have the Instagram handle of the designer next to the photo.

Lastly, I’ve shared tips on how to have a fa-boo-lous Halloween party , but because this year looks a little different, I also wanted to share some new tips to enjoy the holiday below:

Decorate, Decorate, Decorate!

More than any other year, this is the time to lean into the décor! Deck your table out with terrifying details. Use the above styled tablescape for inspiration! Decorate your doors, windows, lawn, etc with your favorite Halloween theme. This isn’t just for you to enjoy, this is for anyone passing by your house or apartment to enjoy as well. We could all use some extra smiles this holiday season. 

Virtual Costume Party

Even if a traditional Halloween party isn’t in the cards, there’s no need to skip on a costume. Gather your friends together virtually for a costume party! Have one friend play a spooky playlist and show off your costumes to one another. 

Outdoor Horror Movie Marathon

Halloween is the perfect time to sit and watch your favorite spooky films! You can do this at home or if possible, set up a projector outside with a sheet or blank wall. Serve individual bags of popcorn + candy to each person. This is a great way to maintain a social distance, and still enjoy some fun with friends. Bonus points if you can incorporate a monster into your mask! 😉  

Lastly, if you usually get a lot of kids trick-or-treating at your house, you can still set up a bowl outside for people to grab candy. Use glow in the dark tape to mark off places for each trick-or-treater to stand while waiting to grab their goodies. 

I hope these tips + tricks help you have a safe + spooktacular Halloween! And huge thanks to La Piñata Party Rentals for their help with the tablescape design. *Photos taken by myself.
