How to Style Your Halloween Party Table (3 Ways)
Decorations up? Good. Now the table, because it is where the cake sits, where the photos happen and where the children spend most of the party. 🕷️
There is no single right Halloween party table. A toddler's party, a whole-class party and a grown-up Halloween dinner all want something different, so here are three Halloween tables, each with everything you need. Pick the one that matches your crowd.
Choose your Halloween table colour palette 🎨
Orange and black is the classic, but each of the three tables below leans a slightly different way. The cute table is orange, black and white with copper accents. The classic table is orange, black and a splash of watercolour purple and green. The chic table drops the orange altogether and goes beige, black and gold. Decide on the palette first and the rest of the table falls into place.
A cute Halloween table for toddlers 👻
For little ones, let the tableware be the decoration. Meri Meri's shaped plates and napkins are so characterful that you do not need anything else on the table.
| Piece | What to use |
|---|---|
| Plates | Ghost Shaped Party Plates x 8 and Witch Shaped Party Plates x 8 |
| Napkins | Halloween Cat Shaped Party Napkins x 16 |
| Cups | Plain orange or black paper cups |
| Extra | Witch Shaped Party Napkins x 16 for the cake |
Put one ghost plate and one cat napkin at each place, alternate with the witch plates, and it looks like a magazine shoot with about four minutes of effort.
A classic Halloween party table for a class party 🎃
When you have twenty children coming, you need a range that stretches and still looks lovely. Josi James Bows and Boos does exactly that - twelve of everything in a pack, watercolour skeletons, eyeballs and bows, and it is the range our customers reorder every October.
| Piece | What to use |
|---|---|
| Plates | Halloween Patterned Party Plates x 12 for food, Skeleton Party Plates x 12 for cake |
| Cups | Halloween Patterned Party Cups x 12 |
| Napkins | Halloween Patterned Party Napkins x 24 |
| Cake | Halloween Cupcake Toppers x 8 |
Mix in the Eyeball Party Plates for the children who like things a bit grosser, and cover the table with the Halloween Spider's Web Tablecover so spills are not a worry.
A chic Halloween dinner party table 🖤
For grown-ups, or a family Halloween dinner, drop the orange and go beige and black. It is the Halloween table that does not look like Halloween until you look closely, and it is our favourite of the three.
| Piece | What to use |
|---|---|
| Tablecloth | Black Fabric Party Tablecloth |
| Plates | Beige and Black Scalloped Spider Paper Plates x 6, or the Halloween Portrait Reusable Plates x 4 for the adults |
| Cups | Beige and Black Spider Paper Cups x 6 |
| Napkins | Beige and Black Ruffled Paper Napkins x 12 |
| Candles | Black Gold Tip Cake Candles x 12 and Halloween Bleeding Taper Candles x 3 |
Scatter the Halloween Black Spiders x 10 down the middle of the table and serve on the Halloween Cat Reusable Party Platter.
Halloween table centrepieces and candles 🕯️
Whichever table you choose, the centrepiece is the same: height and light. A cluster of the Halloween Honeycomb Pumpkins x 3 in the middle, the Halloween Ghost Candle Holders x 6 with battery tealights down the length, and one honeycomb witch hat hung above. Turn the big light off and let the table glow.
Halloween party bags for the table 🧡
Put the party bag at each place rather than handing them out at the door. The Halloween Cauldron Party Bags x 8 double as a place setting and keep little hands busy while everyone sits down. Full Halloween party bag ideas are in their own post.
Capture the Halloween table memories 📸
Photograph the table from above before anyone sits down, then again with the lights off and the candles on. Tag us on Instagram at @littlebigpartyco and tell us which of the three tables you went for! 🕷️
