Do not mind the howling beneath the pale and gazing moon. It’s just the wind. We promise.
As the nights grow chill and dark and the eve of All Hallows nears, the time has come to hang the cobwebs, carve the pumpkin, and listen to the whisperings of ghoulish delight – preferably with doors locked tight – and raise a toast to all things that go bump in the night.
If you are planning on hosting a wine party around Halloween, you may consider spicing your gathering up by incorporating a few crafty thematic flourishes with both drinks and decorations. There are several inexpensive ways to spook up your party, here are a few ideas:
Decorative Wine Bottles
This is a great option for homemade wine, as these generally come without labels; however, you can use any bottle or brand of wine for this. Simply remove the label and either print custom Halloween labels, or decorated your bottle accordingly. Your guests will appreciate it. There are plenty of crafting guides online, as is featured here.
Spooky Spirits
If you plan on including spirits or other mixed drinks along with your wine, there are a plethora of thematic drink recipes online ranging from non-alcoholic punch to heavy-hitting zombies (for those with sturdy constitutions). There are whole websites dedicated to thematic drinks, so you should have no problem finding recipes for your party. Here is a page dedicated entirely to Halloween-themed drinks.
Blood-Tingling Wine
If pressed for time, you can always purchase premade drink mixes for a special flare. Bloody Mary’s are always a great mixed drink for Halloween parties, and can be purchased in pre-mixed packs. Even wine has its own macabre line. The morbidly sweet Vampire wine brand comes bottled and ready to serve. You can check it out here.
There are no limits when it comes to planning a Halloween party. You can borrow your party ideas from the internet, or plan your own creative endeavors. The most important thing to remember is that themed parties are meant to be fun – so have a blast! And remember, the glass is always half full!
