Host an HAUTE Halloween Bash!
Anyone else have fall on their mind? I caught my first hint of fall in the air and my mind started conjuring up visions of Halloween parties. (See this year’s theme reveal below!)
I’m still here for summer.
But fall is . . . well, pure magic.
So forget those cheesy plastic trinkets or distasteful gore. Go for an ULTRA chic Halloween party this year with ALL the class, plus some fresh twists & the perfect amount of spooky style.

I’m excited to announce this year’s theme for our annual Halloween party is…
Drumroll…
1. Enchanted Forest Halloween Party
Enter this enchanted forest if you dare. But be careful, for there are dark faeries, poisonous mushrooms, and sinister creatures lurking about. Step ever so lightly when you cross into this forbidden forest’s shadows.

Buy a set of stunning black butterflies HERE. Or these faux feather butterflies are lovely too!
Ravens and crows add that touch of spooky elegance. Even though the wings can be finicky, I still like these extra large ravens best.
2. Sunken Shipyard Halloween Party
Forget graveyards, try a spooky sunken shipyard instead! From sailors lured to their doom by sultry siren songs to pirates lost at sea, talk about a chic Halloween party idea. Transform your home into an ocean tomb with moody blues and eerie emeralds, mermaid skeletons, and antique treasures tarnished by the sea.

3. Hogwarts Dinner Party
Bring on the butter beer! Harry Potter inspired one of the most iconic Halloween party ideas, and for a good reason. From themed food to spellbinding decorations, a Harry Potter dinner party truly makes a magical Halloween party!
Check out some fun Harry Potter food + game ideas from our own Harry Potter Halloween Party. SO. MUCH. FUN.

4. Abandoned Victorian Conservatory Party
Picture a creepy conservatory with overgrown ivy, weathered window frames, chipped marble busts, and botanicals of the deadiest variety. Pair with a moss cake and other plant-inspired edibles for a knock out vintage Halloween party.
5. Chic Mad Scientist Lab Party
Happen to know a troubled chemist? If not, no worries. You can still make a freaky cool science lab in your own house. Hang up a black periodic table of the elements and set out some dusty science equipment covered in cobwebs.
LOVING all the glass beakers and test tubes for serving food and drinks.
Every mad scientist needs a vintage black and white periodic table of the elements.
Get this look for cheaper by using a kids microscope (and then gifting it to some lucky kid in your life). Or invest in a professional microscope and deck it out with cobwebs for that creepy lab look.
6. Poison Apple Party
A caramel apple bar with a Halloween twist. For a poison apple Halloween party add subtle Evil Queen decor to nail the theme with style. Your party will be the fairest of them all.
Caramel apple bar for the win. Keep your caramel and chocolate hot and melty with an electric buffet server.
7. Stargazing Halloween Party
Throw a unique celestial Halloween party focused on the inky heavens, crescent moons, and sparkling constellation pumpkins. Bonus points for hosting a mini astronomy sesh with a late-night telescope op.
These celestial galaxy menus are dreamy.
8. Witches’ Dinner Party
Bust out those apothecary jars and potion bottles for an elegant witches’ dinner party. Pick a dark and moody color palette for a mysterious evening, or go for dried florals and earthy moss to channel a secret rendezvous in the woods.
Forget the plastic cauldrons, go for these hanging ceramic witch cauldron serving dishes that will last for Halloweens to come.
9. Masquerade Ball
Infuse part Phantom of the Opera, part Miss Havisham into your next Halloween party for an indulgent evening. Luxe velvet, opulent gems, wax dipped roses, and sequined masks will make it a night to remember.
10. Egyptian Tomb Party
Pull an Indiana Jones this Halloween and enter an ancient Egyptian tomb! With gilded accents, flickering lanterns, and Pharoh-approved decor, it’s as if you’re stepping into Cairo. But watch out for those striking cobras!
Find Moroccan lanterns HERE.
11. Museum of Curiosities Halloween Party
Scour thrift stores, antique shops, and even Grandmother’s attic for vintage finds to display. The quirkier, the better! And remember, you can always spray paint objects in metallics or matte black/white to give them instant class.
Bonus points for creating a partially edible display that incorporates candies + snacks that imitate nature!
Etsy has the coolest real butterflies.
Do yourself a favor and invest in a glass cloche this year to display your curios dust-free.
12. Glam Pumpkin Party
Host a pumpkin-themed dinner party with a pumpkin seed salad, roasted pumpkin coconut curry, and salted caramel pumpkin cheesecake bites for dessert. Then let everyone decorate a glam pumpkin as a gorgeous take home gift.
Get this look for less with crown cake toppers.
13. Edgar Allen Poe Inspired Party
The quintessentially spooky poet. Go for black-on-black glam, bare branches, and a dramatic reading of the infamous poem: The Raven.
I’ve hunted long and hard for good crows. The best value for the size (a lot of them are teeny with their wings down) are these crows (pictured above).
