I am in love with Agatha Christie, I write 3 Murder Mystery Parties (or so) a year and so, I try to avoid these on hallowe'en because that is a bit stereotypical. This year, my roommate and I are hosting a traveling hallowe'en party (between the our room, a room down the hall, and the room across the hall). Each room has a different station: Food, games, and movie.
For decorations we have a couple pumpkins, witch and bat window decals, and paper chains. (Once we get them all up for the party I will post pictures!) Our decals are vintage style with a craggy witch silhouette over a moon. Paper chains are simple, cheap, and easy to assemble. They provide a complete look to a room, and the homemade feel can be very vintage.
I am a baker, so our room is the food room. For food I am making pumpkin cupcakes, apple cinnamon muffins, a special nacho dip, hallowe'en punch, candy, and a variety of hot drinks. Over the past year I have acquired many, many hostess dishes. I bought a silver serving tray with handles:
a silver casserole dish with a lid (I use it for cookies):
a pumpkin pitcher, a silver tea pot:
a coffee cart:
and, the piece de resistance, my dream hostess item: a chip and dip. It is beautiful. It is transparent, ruffled, and, just, so perfect!
For invitations we found these vintage inspired ones. I am going to write some creepy poem, which is something that people used to do! The Vintage Halloween website has a great page with ideas.
Updated with pictures!
