Pumpkin Carving Party

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. There's just something about the way the weather gets a little bit cooler, the leaves start to change color, and there are so many great holidays to look forward to!

A Black Tie Halloween Party

If you want to host a different kind of Halloween party this year, think about a “Black Tie” party. This is a sophisticated version of the usual fright fest. 

Pumpkin Carving Halloween Party

One of my favorite Halloween parties is a family-style pumpkin carving fest! This is a great way to get your jack-o-lantern ready for trick-or-treat night and share in the fun and mess of pumpkin carving. 

Midnight Madness Halloween Party

Still looking for a great idea for a themed Halloween party this year? Why not take the simple premise of one of the classic Halloween colors (black) and apply it as your party theme? If you've got the energy to stay up late, host a Midnight Madness Halloween Party this year with black as the color scheme that guides your decorations and helps guide costume choices for your Halloween partygoers, too.

Colorful Party Planning for an Original Halloween

I've heard from several readers who are still searching for Halloween party themes and are sick of witches and goblins (how? I don't know).
