Move over, “You’ve Been Booed,” there’s a new craze in town…

"Too Cute to Spook" Kids Halloween Party

"Too Cute to Spook" Kids Halloween Party

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!

It’s sort of modern Halloween version of Ding, Dong, Ditch!

DIY Monster Halloween Costumes for Babies and Kids Using Your Cricut Machine

DIY Monster Halloween Costumes for Babies and Kids Using Your Cricut Machine

I don’t know about you, but finding the perfect costume can be a real struggle! The process usually ends up involving some form of DIY project because I can never find exactly what I’m looking for. That’s what happened for the Halloween Monster Mingle that I recently hosted for Oriental Trading Company.

I wanted everyone to be dressed in their “monstrous” best, but none of the costumes that I found were striking my fancy. So, as I tend to do, I pulled out my Cricut machine and started crafting up some designs. About an hour and a half later, a few solid tees and a solid baby romper were transformed into some super cute DIY Monster Halloween Costumes! Take a peek below to see how you can recreate these monstrously adorable costumes for your own little ghouls and goblins!
