So whether you’re planning a Witches’ Feast dinner party, or spookymovie night, read on! Here’s how to host an extraordinary celebration with our must-have Season of the Witch collection.
CRAFT YOUR COLOR SCHEME
Start by transforming your party space into a magical witch’s lair! Get crafty and decorate with foraged materials, potion bottles, old books and crystal balls. Opt for colors that will truly bring out the magical atmosphere of your gathering.
For an elegant touch, focus on sophisticated black and gold tones to set a mysterious and haunting ambiance. Or infuse a bit of whimsy into your party with pops of color. Here we incorporated purple and green with our Witchy Hands and a crystal ball found at Michaels. Whatever color scheme you choose, have fun conjuring your own party design!
CONJURE AN EERILY ELEGANT TABLE
Your tablescape should be the crown jewel of your witch’s décor. Depending on your tableware, choose either a dark, rich tablecloth or a lacy black table runner. If you’re opting for paper party supplies, it’s best to use pieces that look sophisticated and refined, like our Salem Apothecary set featured here.
The table pictured was carefully curated by our Fest team using pieces found in our shop and local craft/decor stores. The elegant floral centerpiece created by our staff can be found along with most items pictured within our Apothe-scary Party Box.
BREW BEWITCHING ACTIVITIES
Tea and herbs are an integral part to witches' history and culture. Conjure up potion-making crafts for guests by creating custom blends or potions, providing herbs and teas for mixing, and offering recipe cards.
Add a bit of mystery and enchantment to your evening with tarot card or tea readings. We love this fun Universal Monsters tarot deck by Insight Editions. This set even comes equipped with a beginner’s guide for reading.
If readings are not your cup of tea, there are many other eerily entertaining options choose from. Engage your guests in a wicked photo scavenger hunt (using various witch based props) or host a cackling contest. Whatever you choose, these activities will make for a wicked good time.
MANIFEST A MAGICAL MENU
One of the most important elements of any witches’ feast is the menu, and this one better be to die for! From creepy crostinis to Pumpkin-head soup, there are many ways to embrace the eery and enchanting vibes with autumnal themed party foods.
We hope this guide will inspire you to host your very own witches’ feast and create a new tradition to kick off the autumn season.
