Halloween is such an exciting holiday for little ghouls and goblins! Visits to the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, dressing up in costumes, candy…there’s so much fun to be had!

Halloween can be a little scary, though, especially for the younger kiddos. I recently styled a “Too Cute to Spook” Party for Oriental Trading Company that celebrates all of the spooktacular things that Halloween has to offer…minus the fright. It’s the perfect celebration for all of the little ones that are too cute to spook!

I created this super cute kids Halloween party invitation for our “spookless” soiree, and it’s available as a free download that you can use, too!

The printable invitation can be customized with your own party details prior to printing; simply download the invite, click in the text boxes to enter your info, save to your computer, then print! So easy and so very cute!

The Decorations

The decor for the party was kept simple and sweet. What I love most about this setup is that the backdrop doubles as both party decor and an absolutely adorable photo booth! The moon, stars, bats and banner are all available as free downloads that are included in the printable pack that I designed for this party. All of the details to recreate it can be found here and the printables can be accessed here.

Is it even a Halloween party if there aren’t costumes? I don’t think so! Encourage all of the kid-a-boos to come dressed in their Halloween best…it totally adds to the fun! And just look how cute that photo booth is when the little ones pose in front of it. Can’t. get. enough!!!

If you need some ideas for Halloween costumes, you can find some great ones here.

Sidenote: Speaking of that little guy right there that’s striking a pose, do you recognize him from last year’s Monster Mingle Halloween Party? That’s our little Jax! He was only four months old at our party last year…now he’s 16 months old and soooo much fun!!! There is nothing better in this world than being his Shoogie!

The Table

One of my favorite tricks while party planning is to incorporate things that can serve dual purposes. A great place to put this practice into use is at the party table. Basic buffalo check plates and solid napkins get elevated to the next level with reusable pumpkin-shaped cups and plush bouncy ball bats that first serve as table decor but then become party favors when the celebration is over.

The Party Favors

Filling plain metal buckets with Halloween treats effortlessly transforms them into spooktacular boo baskets. Finish them off with the free printable tags and flags (available here) for the perfect finishing touch!
