Festive and Fun: Ideas for a Stylish Halloween Ladies’ Night In!

In this post, we present 7 fun-filled and even stylish ways to host a girl’s only party! Think of it as a throwback to an all-night party with your best friends, with some of the season’s scariness tossed in. We’re loving this second installment of our Halloween Crafts and Desserts Fest features!

1 – Candy Corn Bottle Vases, via Pretty My Party

Instantly associated with Halloween, these would make such fun centerpieces! Choosing interesting bottle shapes to spray paint is a big plus, too, as seen on the easy tutorial from The Swell Designer (formerly The Swell Life).

2 – Fun Favor Bag Toppers, from Being Bianca

These are free printables, ladies, that would be perfect for a ‘pedicure kit’ treat bag to take home! Note how the polish and other gift items are all in the season’s orange, too. Clever touch!

3 – Vampire’s Kiss cocktail from Life of a Whisk

This is a great way to give guests ‘a bit of a scare.’ Whether you go with the alcoholic or non-alcoholic version, the recipe gives the how-to for that bloody goo on the glass rim. Eeek!

4 – Glitter Spider Web Shoes from Oh My! Creative

How creepily chic are these! With a hot glue gun and some silver glitter, our talented friend Susan shows how you can make these yourself, and be a pretty hot witch at the party!

5 – Treat Bags from Confetti Sunshine

Another free goodie for your ladies’ bash, printable ‘RIP grade’ treat bags perfect for filling with sweets. Aren’t the machine stitching and bits of Washi tape such clever touches to round out the vintage-y look?

6 – Halloween banner from The Style Sisters

Love how each pennant on this banner is like a little Halloween vignette on its own! Luckily, something this crafty is already done for you and is available (in different designs, too) from The Style Sisters’ etsy shop.

7 – “Eat, Drink, and Be Scary” Appetizers from Hungry Happenings

Who’d have thought that store-bought stamps could be used on party appetizers! This post shows how, plus gives an enticing recipe for those stuffed wonton-wrapper crisps. Yum!

Our Halloween Crafts and Dessert Fest has 2 more weeks to go! Hurry and pin your amazing projects and goodies to our Your Halloween Creations board or our Pretty Party Printables board. We’ll be selecting our next weekly features from there, and inspiring others with your talent!
