Annual pumpkin carving parties are a great way to get everyone together for a night of innocent fun!!! It brings back childhood memories of carving out a pumpkin in celebration of the sweet-filled holiday, Halloween. For the kiddos, it’s all about creating those childhood memories. Besides, with such busy lifestyles, this is a good way to make sure you give yourself and your family time to enjoy the season and the traditions that come with it. Bring family and friends together for a night of arts and crafts, and dress accordingly.
Tonya threw her amazing annual pumpkin carving party this past weekend, which rocked, so we thought we would share her pumpkin themed ideas with you – there is still time to throw together a last minute Halloween party!
Plan It: Whether its 3 weeks in advance or the day before, be sure to send out an adorable festive invite! We like these two examples from PaperlessPost.com and Evite.com.
Cook It: Guests are going to be busy mingling, planning, and carving their pumpkins but they will need to savor a few bites. Don’t go overboard but definitely have Halloween-themed appetizers out such as Witch Hat Cookies, Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, and Spinach Dip in a Pumpkin-carved bread bowl! Pinterest is great for stuff like this. So cute.
Create It: Get people inspired from the moment they arrive by setting out eye-catching pumpkin carving and decorating items! Tonya got some fabulous pumpkin carving tools at her local Halloween party store and some decorating items at Joann’s Fabrics.
Check out how impressive the finished pumpkins are! Notice that Tonya’s pumpkin is slightly different from the others – Nicole painted it on her beautiful prego belly! Have you ever seen anything more adorable?!! I love this!
Style It: And last – but not at all the least – you’ve got to look good at your pumpkin party right? Here are some quick tips you may or may not have considered for an event of this STYLE!
Fall = Fabulous Footwear! Get out the boots. We prefer the cowboy ones!!!
Line em’ with sweater socks for extra warmth and fashion flair.
Yes, most everything is orange and black during this holiday, but the seasons’ chosen pantone color is GREEN with envy. It’s our color crush!!!
We had to share these stylish pumpkin ideas!!! Talk about making a fashion statement, in every way. Dress Up: Your Pumpkin!!!
