A Peek at the Fun: Looking for a fun Halloween Party Idea?  We have an awesome Death by Chocolate Party and 5 other fun Halloween theme ideas for you.

Calling all of the ladies out there, this party is for you!  Death by Chocolate Halloween Party, does it get any better than that?  We are what some people would call chocolate addicts, and we have decided to embrace it wholeheartedly.  The more chocolate the better, and if we have to die there is no better way to go! 🙂

(And be sure to check out the 6 other Halloween theme ideas to throw a great party-they’re down below.)

Halloween Theme Ideas for a Fun Party

Death by Chocolate Halloween Theme Ideas:

Halloween Party Invitations:

Every great party starts with an awesome invitation.  The invitation is your chance to show your guests what to expect at your party, so you want to make them great.  We have done all of the work for you on this one, so simply add your information and let the party begin.

Halloween Party Invitations

Here’s your invitation, simply save it to your computer and use a photo editing program to customize the information.  If you need some help with this we have a tutorial to show you step by step here.

Halloween Theme Decorations:

Black and white make a fabulous color pallet for a party, and especially a Death by Chocolate party.  It makes finding decorations super simple, and easy to coordinate.  We are in love with the way this all came together.

The two of us had so much fun looking on Oriental Trading for fun Halloween decoration ideas. Their site is loaded with so many possibilities, we had a blast shopping.  It was easy to find some fun treasures that highlighted our party perfectly.

Halloween Party Ideas

These amazing lanterns are from Oriental Trading and worked perfectly for our Halloween theme. Lanterns are so versatile, we left them empty but don’t be afraid to change their function.  By filling them with candy they become an interesting bowl at your party.  You could put a candle in them if you want a bit of color added to your decorations.  Cut out shapes could be added to them, giving them a spooky new look.  Always have fun and be creative with your decorations.

Halloween Party Decor Ideas

These frames are also from Oriental Trading and worked perfectly to add a little cuteness to our design.  If you are doing a tablescape, these could be used as for name cards which always adds a nice personal touch to any party.

Here’s a PDF with some of these tags ready for you to use:

We have a bit of a love affair with apothecary jars (even though Danetta didn’t know that’s what they were called)! 🙂 They work for almost any party spread and can be so functional.  This one worked perfectly for our Oreo Cookies (because what is a chocolate party without Oreos).  We found this apothecary jar at Oriental Trading, and it’s a keeper!

Halloween Party Bunting:

How about some cute Halloween bunting to add to the decor of your party?  We have a tutorial to show you how to make bunting.

Here are the printable letters for you to use-

Halloween Party Food Ideas:

Of course, you will be serving chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate at this party…did we mention chocolate!?  Danetta’s favorite treat in the whole world is cupcakes, and when they are chocolate…there are no words.  So naturally, we had to make a chocolate cupcake that spoke to the chocolate lover in us.  This is a chocolate cupcake, with white chocolate frosting, topped with chocolate ganache and mini chocolate chips…you’re welcome!!

Then top with chocolate ganache. To make the ganache, pour one cup of chocolate chips into a bow. Heat 1/2 C heavy cream to almost a boil in the microwave.

Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.

What we love about serving cupcakes at a party is that they serve two purposes-the first is a delicious treat, and the second is a fun decoration.  We simply used a Halloween plate and placed it on acandlestickk, creating a perfect presentation for the perfect cupcakes.Halloween Cupcakes

Halloween Party Favors:

If you are sending your guests home with a momentum of the evening, why not make it a cupcake. Did we mention we love cupcakes?  These boxes from Oriental Trading make a fabulous party favor, and your guests will thank you for the take-home treat.

Here are some fun tags for you to use for that:
