Tips on how to launch a sophisticated Halloween dinner
Here are our first tips to get the most out of your Halloween dinner party.
It looks like there are usually two types of Halloween holidays - those of the children, who are all too apparent for families, or a high-intensity intensity part, with naughty costumes. We can not do now, thanks to Covid-19, but we are in love with a new option: the sophisticated Halloween dinner.
It is much more elegant and more elegant than other Halloween options, are spent on the day of false spider canvases and dry ice. You can make a scary theme if you still want people dress, or the food itself can have a theme.
1. Choose a theme
You can choose anything from vampire themed (think a lot of crimson shades and touches inspired by blood ... bloody chocolate fountain, anyone?) To Goth or Tarot cards. You can even make a film theme, like Annabelle or another tribute. Frankenstein is also a popular choice.
2. Details, Details, Details
Choose a date and one hour. Unless Halloween is a weekend, be sure to register with people in advance. You may not be able to throw it on current Halloween, so find a time that works for everyone. If the activities will happen with dinner, start the event on the previous side. Decide if you want to invite people with casualness or create invitations to send.
3. Think these entrances, but think little
Be creative with food. Everyone knows the classic tips Pinterest Halloween like cupcakes "dirt" or mummies of hot dog, but if you want to raise your restoration experience, stick. A range of aperitifs or small plates. You can also make a spread of massive charcuterie, so that people can fend for a range of cheeses, meats, fruits, crackers and all you can talk about. A halloween thematic charcuterie table incredible, to be great.
4. Welcome a brunch instead
Even if we suggest a dinner, there are no rules against a brunch party instead. After all, October and autumn have generally been made practically for brunch - pantry pancakes, apple strudel, spicy cider and champagne cocktails ... We already imagine.
5. Well, and practical
You can add decorative skulls to plates like ribs and other small keys on the dishes that make the guests smile or shudder. You can also freeze a cake with black icing and make a bloody gout on the side or frost on spider canvases and add small spiders. Always make a test of recipes that you have not tried before, because you do not want the day of the party to look like an episode of "nailed!" There is no shame either in pre-manufactured food - we all have lives to tend! You can also suggest a style of Potluck.
6. Add games in the mixture
Do not attempt all - maybe up to two or three. The mysterious murder challenges are appreciated by many, as well as the evacuation halls. You can also engage a tarot card reader (or ask for a disposed friend) or recreate a fear factor episode with Crawyy Crawley (but safe) challenges. And of course, there is nothing more classic than a costume contest, if it's the road you go.
7. Frightening cocktails are the key
Do not be afraid to play with fantastic cocktails and try to buy choices of cocktails in the shape of skull or something similar if possible.

Finally, if you want a really bloody look, theBlood Orange Margaritais easy and has perfect aesthetics. You can even serve drinks in flasks or test tubes.
8. Get chic with place settings and decoration
Stay away from the clichés of fall like orange pumpkins everywhere. Epoite your daily pumpkins with a white paint instead or another minimalist color, which makes the expressions of the Orange negative space. Go for a white minimalist look at the middle and decoration can have a very sophisticated effect. Think all handwritten calligraphy on cards, white spider canvases, bare branches, skulls and candles.
9. Keep the short menu
We really believe in the rule of small plates and keeping a variety of food products available, so that vegetarians, vegetarians and meat lovers have something to go. Instead of super-elaborate dishes or cluttering your menu, get ready to clean up classics or serve aperitifs. If you invited a small group, you can prepare every dish perfectly without feeling overwhelmed.
