Last Minute Halloween Party Theme Ideas

SOMETHING WICKED IS COMING THIS WAY! PART 2

I can’t believe Halloween is a week away! It’s such a great excuse to hang out with your friends in crazy costumes and spooky décor. But if you’re like me where procrastinating is in your DNA and you’re stuck with planning a last-minute Halloween party, you should stick around. The only thing that I anticipate and plan for almost a whole year is Halloween.

            I know throwing a party can be frightening and if you don’t plan it properly, it can scare your money away as well. Like I said in my previous blog, thinking of a theme would be beneficial because it could keep you in check versus mindlessly buying Halloween décor just because it was eye-catching. Here are some themes and tips to hopefully help you with your last-minute planning:

1.      Ghost Theme

This one is probably the easiest (and possibly cheapest) one of all themes. Your color scheme is simple which is just black and white. Although store shelves for Halloween décor may be emptying out, you can check out the regular party isle and still find everything you need. You can make ghosts with as simple as balloons, cheesecloth, and a black marker. Decorate with household items like white bedsheets and black paper (for the ghost’s eyes) or some string and white facial tissue. If you need more ideas for this theme, check out my previous blog, GHOSTLE DECORATIONS.

2.      Blood and Gore Theme

This one’s one of my favorites because.. well... what’s Halloween without the scary things in life? A.k.a. blood. You can find fake blood anywhere and all you have to think about in regard to this is slasher movies like Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween. Find faux chains, saws, knives. Anything that’s related to murder would be a good idea for this one.

3.      Color Theme

If you want to have a simple yet coordinated Halloween party, going for a certain color theme like black, white and another color would be a great idea. Here are some colors that you could easily put together:

Black, green and purple

Red, black and white

Orange, black and white

Gold and black

Gray, black and white

With doing this theme, finding décor would be almost brainless. Party stores like The Party Shop or Party City have isles and isles of party items that are also arranged by color so that would make your life hella easy! Don’t forget to hit up the dollar stores because they always come out with fun décor that are CHEAP and they always have black food ware and some party supplies like table covers, streamers, napkins, balloons, gift bags, etc.

There are so many themes that you can choose from, really, but I hope this was helpful. Let me know if it worked out for you. Send me some pictures on my Twitter, ernestineevents, or share it on my Facebook page, ESanchez Events and Designs. I would love to hear from you!
