This 9-3/4 door sign was a print out we found online and we found this fun brick paper at our local party store (Hobby Lobby has a teacher section with lots of fun bulletin board paper). You can use this in other places around your party too such as the wall behind the food tables. (You can also buy it pre-made on Amazon.)
Sometimes you can find cool artwork or home decor at thrift stores or home stores - like this slithery metal snake we found! He can keep watch at any Halloween Party in your future too!
Dim the lights in the room and add twinkle lights in white, orange, or purple for that intimate Halloween glow!
Battery operated tea lights in colored jars will light the way for your guests from room to room!
We created this inviting coffee bar and added a creepy paper backdrop behind it to darken up the spot! Look for old vintage-type bottles and jars at local thrift stores to create a sinister feel to any area of your party or turn them into "potion" jars.
Your food or dessert tables should always be a big focal point. You can add cauldrons or terra-cotta pots full of treats. Add levels to your table decor by placing small boxes or books underneath the tablecloth for dimension.
Having a Halloween gathering during quarantine? Don't forget: SAFETY FIRST! You can still have an enchanting Candy Bar by using individually wrapped candy! For more ideas on this important tip, check out last month's KDO Designs Blog HERE!

"Witches Brew" cooking over a hot fire! These little pails can hang down from a witches broom placed between two vintage candlesticks.
Party decor isn't the only thing that will keep the magic going at your Harry Potter Party. We got all our muggles, purebloods, and squibs involved with some fun activities such as a "Sorting Ceremony" in the "Great Hall" to determine which Hogwarts House our guests were assigned to! You can find a "Sorting Hat" at Target that even moves and talks!
If you have a fireplace at your home, you can create this cool effect: Dursley's Fireplace complete with flying acceptance letters! We purchased photo light strings from TJ Maxx as they have tiny clothespins attached. (You can also find great deals on Amazon). We strung the lights from inside the fireplace and up to the ceiling. We attached black envelopes along the string lights with all of our guests' names printed on them! During the party, our guests took pictures at a fun photo booth. We printed those pics out after the party and mailed them in their personal envelope - a little keepsake from a fun night!
