on the eve of Halloween I'm sharing with you one of my favorite things ever... a Witches Lunch!!
This year, because I'm insane and don't have enough going on right now... I decided to throw in a big witches luncheon the week before Halloween.
A couple of years ago I did a very small witches lunch with three of the women that I visit teach. This year I decided to go big and invited seven friends...
I emailed out invitations (I was going to mail or hand deliver... neither of which happened... so email it was!)... asked everyone to come dressed up... made food assignments... and decorated fun and festive.
It was so much fun. And with people helping with food its a fairly easy party to throw.
I looooved the decorations... they turned out so fun... the pictures don't really do it justice... but I went with black and purple and lots of candles and it really came together.
Other details:
I used mismatched crystal goblets which looked way better than matching crystal.
White china w/witches napkins that I bought on clearance last year (the napkins... not the china!)
A candelabra I got on clearance at hobby lobby
A food table that was way too small... but I couldn't carry the big long table by myself... so I had to settle for the smaller table.
A separate kids meal of mummys and spider eggs (tots)
I had a kids Halloween movie going... the kids luncheon was a little bit more chaotic than I had planned on... I feel bad about that... next time I'll plan to have an activity or something for the kids.
I had a little witches boot ornament for each guest... I'm going to hang mine from my mirror in my car.
Each guest left with a bottle of "witches brew"... my friend Liberty made the labels... and I wrapped them around bottles of soda pop... I'll have to ask her if she's sharing the labels... if so I'll link them.
I took individual pictures of each guest... I won't post those here... but I love all the individual pictures of everyone.
It was so fun to have everyone come... and enjoy of fun Halloween activity with good friends!
(and remember it really did look better than the pictures show!)
(I didn't know my camera was on portrait mode for the group shot and and the people in the back came out blurry... boo!)
It was such a fun event... and sadly Halloween is almost over... but tomorrow is trick or treating with a very excited three year old... which is totally going to be the highlight of the whole season... costume pictures coming soon!
