Halloween is such a fun holiday! Whether you have children or not, it is the perfect excuse for a party! We host our friends for trick or treat every year. A fire pit on the driveway, some good food, and lots of decorations make it a fun tradition. The dads take the kids around to trick or treat and the moms hang back and hand out the candy.
I don't go over the top on the decorations for Halloween in my home, but I do enjoy decorating my mantel and adding a few touches here and there to be festive.

Tips on Creating the Perfect Halloween Party
1. Pick Your Poison Station~ Create a station for adult beverages and dress it up with festive straws, themed drinks, and a skull to hold your wine bottle!
2. A Chili Bar~ Witches brew that everyone can enjoy with two kinds of chili and all the toppings!
3.Serve themed snacks~ Have some fun with snacks and make Mummy Dogs, Pumpkin Rice Krispies, a Graveyard Cake, and Vampire Teeth Cookies
4. Dress Your Table~ Have some fun with your table and give it a spooky feel with table decorations, plates, and candle light.
For more ideas on how to dress your table for Halloween, see this post I did with At Home.

I want to come to a Halloween party at your house, it looks so festive!!
I’d love to have you, Roxanne!
Love the “pick your poison” bar! Great ideas even though I cannot do spiders. Deathly afraid of them and my husband makes fun of me because I do the icky dance whenever I see one. I bet the themed snacks were really fun to make. Pinning.
Thank you, Rachel! My hubby hates spiders also, lol
