Don’t be spooked….Halloween is sneaking up fast!  Our experts at The StationeryStudio.com are sharing tips for planning the most haunting bash on the block.  With these tricks up your sleeve, you’ll be sure to win over the neighborhood! (Good candy always helps too!)

Whether it’s a pumpkin-carving bash for kids or a pre-trick-or-treating dinner for family and friends, The Stationery Studio has the best tips for planning the perfect party.  Hosts and hostesses can order personalized Halloween invitations and party supplies for putting together crowd-pleasing Halloween table settings that will be the envy of all.   Now is the time to start ordering your party supplies since invitations should go out at least 2 weeks ahead of time.

  • Pick a theme for your party.  The theme can be a formal dinner party with festive fall trimmings and pumpkin pie or a more casual table, set with fun and trendy personalized supplies.
  • Have a “blast” with color. The orange and chocolate theme works wonderful this time of year.  Nothing says “Halloween” more than a chocolate brownie on an orange plate. Yum!
  • Consider the ages and personalities of the kids you are inviting. What might be a treat for some children can end up being a trick to another.  Make sure there are enough age-appropriate activities  for the kids  – especially for those who may not want to participate in any “scary” fun. For older kids, consider having a pajama party and screening horror movies.  For adults, try getting into the “spirit” with some “witches’ brew” in these fun personalized cups.
  • Prepare easy activities like traditional bobbing for apples, face painting, pumpkin-carving, costume contests and parades.
