Halloween Adult Themed Dinner Party Ideas 

| marionlovenotes

Happy Monday friends! I’m back after such a super busy couple weeks working longer shifts at work. I’m also working on a few fun projects that I cant wait to share them with y’all. However today I  wanted to give y’all some ideas that y’all  can use to throw an adult Halloween dinner party.

I was at World Market taking advantage of their red wine sale this past weekend and I saw some great Halloween party ideas that I thought I’ll share with y’all. I’ve done Halloween theme dinner party in my home last year and I wish knew about some of these items before hand. What I love about the Halloween decor at World Market it doesn’t look cheesy or make you feel as if you’re throwing a kids party instead of an adult dinner party.

Lets start the menu with some super easy food ideas like chips & dip. These orange and black chips will look fun in a glass bowel and this Chipotle pumpkin salsa is actually yummy from what I’ve heard. I would serve a nice hot pot of chili or my homemade tomato veggie bean soup (I’ll be sharing that recipe soon).

I love how the wine bottles have Halloween theme labels on theme. These are great to serve and are fun to have out on your Halloween tablescape. You can also make a yummy sangria with these wine choices

I also love how World Market has a wide selection of plates, bowels, cups, mugs, serving trays, napkins, and much more.

The glass pumpkin dispenser is a great transitional piece that works great for Halloween and Thanksgiving dinner! You can put candy, cookies, or fun spooky treats in the skull jars. You can place the orange and black corn chips that I mentioned earlier in this post in the open mouth skulls.

Here are some more fun items that you can add on your tablescape.

These pumpkin spice marshmallows would be great in S’mores and a prefect way to end the evening with family and friends on Halloween night. I found these marshmallows at Food Lion. We got our fire pit from Lowes last year and it still works great now.

I hope y’all enjoyed my blog post and got some tips that you can use in you upcoming Halloween theme dinner parties. I’ll be back soon with another blog post. Thanks for coming by and checking out my blog once again.

*This is NOT a sponsored blog post (even though I wish it was). I love window shopping and World Market happens to be one of my favorite places to go.

Marion
