The Halloween theme is a unique concept, full of spooky decorations. Ask your guests to come in autumn colours or costume and make it an unforgettable trick-or-treat engagement party.

1. Pumpkins
For once, the pumpkin trumps a beautiful vase of flowers. In fact, pumpkins will be the number one eye-catcher at your Halloween themed engagement party. Go for real pumpkins with fun cut-outs, bring in pumpkin balloons or hang up pumpkin garlands. Creepily cosy...
2. Romantic candle holders
Candlelight is a romantic mood creator that cannot be missed at a Halloween party. Choose black, orange or blood-red candles and place them in gold or black candle holders. This will create a cosy, autumnal atmosphere. White or twisted candles can also be beautiful, giving the room that extra touch!
3. Spooky table decorations
How about... dark tablecloths with images of ghosts, bats or spider webs? Add some more spooky centrepieces, such as flower arrangements with dark roses, dead branches or other elements that fit your Halloween theme.
Consider including:
- Halloween-style nametags
- Napkin rings
- Table decorations that are just a touch different
- Cobwebs
4. Mystical & mysterious lighting
As mentioned above, candles already give your space a mysterious glow. In addition, hang mood lighting such as lanterns with a soft, orange glow or light garlands to create a spooky ambiance. Romance -with a touch of mystery- is guaranteed during your Halloween engagement party!
5. Haunted house photobooth
Create a photo booth in a Halloween atmosphere, complete with spooky decorations such as cobwebs, skeletons and a Halloween photobooth frame. Guests can take memorable photos here as a souvenir of your special day.
