Ghost Party Ideas

“Ghost” a party for Halloween 2012

It is easy and inexpensive to host a cute party!  I am a super busy mom and I don’t have time to do too much.  I can assure you this table was planned in less than 2 days.

Here are my tips:

Pick a theme, colors and a pattern.  In this case, I picked a “Ghost” theme.  I used orange, black, chevron and some polka dots here and there.

Go around your house and gather all decor, tablecloths, dishes, etc.  I prefer to use white dishes most of the time.  They match well with every holiday.

Invite a few kids.  It will keep it affordable.

Do-it-yourself crafts are fun and easy!  Keep it simple.

Use a square piece of foam and paint it orange with acrylic paint.  Add glitter right away and cut some letters to spell the word “BOO”.  You can also cut some letters to spell “EEK” and glue them on the back.  Use hot glue to add letters.

Your foam squares can be used to stick your “marshmallow ghosties”.  It’s a marshmallow on a lollipop stick.  Draw some eyes with an edible marker.

Wrap some suckers with a white napkin, glue some googly eyes and tie with a black pipe cleaner or ribbon.  It’s an adorable ghost!

I used recycled “Starbucks” frappuccino bottles for the drinks.  They have milk or you can make some “Boo-nilla” shakes.
