Skeleton Halloween Party Ideas

Our Skeleton Halloween Party is borderline not so scary and just a little bit glam with black, white, and cream colors. Our Two-Headed Skeleton is the life of the party!

A Skeleton Halloween Party theme does not have to be scary. Enjoy all the fun details, including where I found these fun skeleton decorations.

We chose a Two-Headed posable skeleton to be our hostess for this soiree and had so much fun dressing her and her kitty for her Haunted Halloween Skeleton Party.

Skeleton Party Table

Creating the party table is always the most fun part of planning a party. This party buffet is handsomely inviting. We incorporated our black, white, and cream colors in the decor and the food. Those Vintage Halloween party supplies created a not-too-spooky look.

Cupcake stand and cupcakes

Chocolate Cupcakes with white icing are a fitting dessert to match our colors. They are displayed on the white Cupcake stand, which is decorated with black lace pattern tulle we found at Oriental Trading. We used the same tulle on our Tablescape and to make a set of Fascinator hats for the hostess.

Skeleton hand drinking cups

Skeleton Hand Plastic Cups are a must-have! They help set the mood and match well with our Vintage Stacking Boxes.

Skeleton decorations

Those boxes are perfect for stacking Skeleton heads and cardboard black crows on the party buffet. Guests will enjoy reading all of the fun sayings on the sides of the boxes, and after the event, you can use them to store away your party supplies for next time.

We filled our Skeleton Hand Plastic Cups with Cherry juice and placed a cut cherry on the rim for the only touch of red we added to the party.

Our Chocolate Cupcakes were topped with the Glitz-O-Ween Fan Cupcake picks. Don’t you think they show a little glam and see how big the skeleton is smiling! He’s so sweet!

One of the great things about shopping online at Oriental Trading for party supplies is that you can find everything you need in one place,  even black wrapped Tootsie Rolls! We used the set of 3 wooden candle holders to display battery-operated candles and our bowl of Halloween candy.

Low lighting was created using lots of battery-operated black votives as décor both on the party buffet and on the dinner table.

We used the huge Skull and two Black Crows Vintage Centerpieces to add a little life to our party buffet. I wanted the Crows to have their heads turned facing each other, and because these centerpieces are two-sided, I was able to do that. I love the look!

DRESSING OUR SKELETON

We call her Betty Two Heads. She enjoys holding her Skeleton cat in her lap as she greets guests by the buffet in the dining room. She is dressed in a long black winter coat because she gets chilled to the bone so easily. 

You can’t help but be fascinated by Betty, so we gave her a pair of handmade, matching Fascinator hats to match her long black coat. You can’t buy those online. They are handcrafted just for Betty, using Dollar Tree supplies. They feature big furry spiders since those are her favorite creepy crawly creatures. Notice her spider rings on her fingers, too! 

Take a closer look at Betty’s Skeleton cat. Her purple spider ring collar matches her Mom’s ring. Ol’ Betty Two Heads tries to pay attention to the details.

Betty joined her guests at the dinner table for a bone-chilling good time. Stay tuned for all the details of her Halloween Tablescape, which you can visit in just a couple of days.
