Halloween Party Decorations

For the last two years I've thrown a Halloween party for all my college-age cousins. We always have a good-sized crowd and everyone really gets into it! This year the theme was Alfred Hitchcock. My husband and I dressed up as the lovely Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart a la Rear Window and my younger brother was Cary Grant from North by Northwest.

This is the invitation I sent to everyone. You can download the Adobe Illustrator version of it HERE.
The decorations for the party were a mix between ghostly and glamorous. I used lots of sparkly fabric, old fashioned prints, and tinsel-y garlands.

On the front door I hung a poster I created welcoming everyone to the party. (Notice the birds, like in The Birds?) Inside I hung up some movie posters and set out a directors chair, like the one Alfred Hitchcock might have used.

I created a fun tablescape using garlands from the dollar store and black tulle from JoAnns.

For dinner we had a mixed up menu which was hilarious because everyone was using wacky utensils and eating different foods.


All in all it was a great party!
