Embellish contemporary orange flower arrangements (In the fall, you can find them at
JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores.) with TONS of clip-on plastic spiders (
click here to see an example). Make sure to remove any leaves or greenery so that the creepy crawlers really stand out. Sprinkle more spiders around the bottom of the vase to make it look like the spiders are swarming the table.

champagne glasses decorated for halloween
Pour soda into cups decorated with
stickers that display ominous messages, like “beware,” “infested,” “poison,” or “danger.” And if you have the time, make this gross-yet-delicious
Putrid Punch and garnish with gummy worms. And for a fun snack, try making Severed Finger cookies. Check out the recipe

Collect clear jars, vases, bowls, and containers in various shapes and sizes you find around the house, then fill each container with different
Halloween themed candies, such as black licorice bites, black and orange M&M’s, gummy spiders, spooky eyeballs, candy corn and wax lips. Set
cellophane favor bags next to the buffet, and let guests create their own Halloween candy goodie bags when they leave.
