Tuesday Ten: Eat, Drink & Be Scary
This year I am throwing a pumpkin decorating party for Halloween. I've been scouring the Internet for fun decorating ideas, easy appetizers and creative Halloween themed cocktails. Below are 10 tips and ideas for making your Halloween party spook-tacular too!
1. Chill out. Keep drinks chilled with a pumpkin cooler dreamed up by the one and only Martha Stewart! Simply cut an extra large pumpkin in half, scoop out the icky insides and place a punch bowl filled with ice inside.
2. Whiteout. Makeover your living room by covering all the furniture with white sheets. This will give the space an eerie feel...
3. Go batty. Tack paper cutout bats to your walls. Click here for an easy tutorial...
4. Label away. Make festive labels for drinks and snacks...
5. Lighten up. Put tea lights into old mason jars (or baby food jars) and add a spooky face...
6. Add some creep factor. Drizzle red candle wax onto white candlesticks to create a slightly haunted ambience as spotted on Martha Stewart...
7. Much on these. As for snacks, these "Mummy Mia!" mini pizzas are serious crowd pleasers...
8. Tasty treats. Your guests will go crazy for these devilishly delicious Skeleton Cupcakes...
9. Say cheese! Set up a Halloween themed photo booth! Click here to check out my blog about making your own...
10. Get inspired. Coordinate a beautiful spread... (I am pretty much obsessed with these decorations featured on Hostess Blog.)
What's your party plan for Halloween?

These are some super-cute ideas!! But if you're going to have a photo booth you _definitely_ need chic costumes so you can really make some memories! I threw a really fun fete for my 11-year-old daughter with hippie accessories --we bought some extras so all her guests could add a little extra "party" to their outfits, and took lots of pics! It was a great time, and now we have beautiful photos to commemorate the occasion!

I am having a halloween party but didnt want to spend much money on decoration. All I bought was some pack of that fake cobweb stuff for about a dollar each and some "caution" tape for also a dollar. I then made some of the bats, mason jar pumpkins, and the bloody candles all shown above. I also made cardboard tombstones and paper rats (same idea as bats) Thank you for the tips and helping me decorate for my party!!!
