Preppy Halloween Themed Party

If your engagement party, bridal shower, or couples party happens to be in October, that gives you a perfect reason to incorporate Halloween into your theme! 

With the preppy theme we are going for a more cutesy version of Halloween, not the spooky side of it. This means more glitter, glam, and gateaux versus brains, zombies and ghosts. 

 

Color Scheme 

Every party needs a color scheme because it is the unifying factor. With colors you want to add a complimenting shadow base and highlight along with your main colors. It is optional to add a glitter or metallic color as well. You should never have more than 5 colors in your palette (including the metallics and glitter). 

• Orange
• Yellow
• White (Highlight) 
• Gold (Metallic)
• Black

 

The Food

A hungry guest is an unhappy guest! Here are some spooky treats and delicious dinner ideas to feed your family and friends! 

• Pumpkin cake pops with edible glitter
• Iced Ghost Sugar Cookies
• Pizza Margherita with Basil
• Vegetarian Sushi Dragon Roll 
• Carrot Cake with Candy Corn Garnish 
• Candy Corn Bowls 

 

Drinks

Besides the usual soda and water, these drinks will surely amaze your guests. (P.S. These can be made as mocktails.)

• Orange Punch with Pumpkin Ice Cubes 
• Mocktails 
• Orange Creme Soda
