A Halloween Housewarming

The Saturday before Sandy, my roommate and I threw a Halloween-themed housewarming party at our new apartment. Everyone came dressed up in their best costumes and helped us christen our new place. One of the things I wanted most for our new apartment was to have the space to have friends over and I was thrilled to be able to entertain our friends last weekend. I turned to Pinterest for food and decor ideas and spent the whole day leading up to the party baking lots of tasty treats for our guests. I think I can say that our party was a success and I’m looking forward to the next bash we decide to throw!

Treats galore!

Watch out- zombie zone!

Tell me: What did you do for Halloween this year?

  2. Aw you look so cute! What a fun housewarming party. I didn’t dress up this year because Sandy kinda threw everything off :/

      Thanks Kim! Yeah, I think Sandy definitely messed up everyone’s Halloween’s plans. I’m glad we did this the weekend before though, because we put a lot of time/effort into it!

  3. Pumpkin shots! That was so cute and clever. I’m so bad with little details like that.

    That was the only candy corn I had this season! Next year I’m totally buying bags just for myself.

    O you are so adorable!!! Love all the costumes. I didn’t do anything for Halloween this year besides bake pumpkin cookies and carve a pumpkin. I don’t know what it was, wasn’t feeling it this year. But now seeing your pictures makes me wish I had a Halloween party lol

      Aww, thank you Heather! Yumm, pumpkin cookies sound delicious and I wish I had carved a pumpkin this year! That and apple picking (two things I didn’t get to on my fall list!).

      I don’t always go all out like this for Halloween, but since it was the first party I’ve thrown since I moved here more than a year ago, I had to! :)

      Thanks Lydia, me too! I would have been pretty sad if all my hours of party planning had gone to waste!
