Halloween Party Ideas
A Bat Themed Halloween Party
Goodbye ghosts and goblins. Here come the bats! You
saw them in 'Bats' and in 'Harry Potter' and they are sure to be in
every horror flick you ever choose to see. Take a cue and plan your
next Halloween party around these innocent, yet scary black mammals.
Invitations:
You can draw (using stencils) or stick black bats on orange
construction paper or simply print out the above image to use as
invitations.
Decorations: • If
you have trees in your yard, hang inverted bats made out of black
construction paper or purchased fake bats from them and set the mood
for the party right from the entrance to your house. •
Use decals or just plain cutouts in the shape of bats on the front
door to welcome guests. Use a fun, chilling line such as "The Bats
Have Arrived....And They Are Waiting Inside For You".
• Place pumpkins carved with bat patterns all over the
house and on the mantels for display and light. Use our
Halloween Bat Stencil for the
purpose. See

photo for ideas. • Hang bats from the ceilings along with black
and orange balloons or ribbon.
• Take a large bare tree branch, paint it black, add
some fake or dry leaves and hang bats from it. Place it right in the
center of the room for an accent decoration or place in a corner. •
Bat shaped confetti is available easily and can be used to pep-up
tables, mantles, place settings, buffet bars etc.
Food
• Place bat-shaped cookies in a large platter on the
table or make cookie pops and place them in a black or orange paper
cup.
• Cupcakes are a great way to incorporate any theme
into the menu. Use black icing on cupcakes and add bat shaped edible
decorations or simply trace a bat with black icing on white or orange
frosting. • Bat shaped sandwiches and pancakes can also
be made using bat shaped cutters. Favors
Look for bat-shaped knick-knacks like key chains, coin bags etc. or
those with bat motifs with them and out them in paper or fabric bags
decorated with bat cutouts or appliqués.
