A Table Setting Fit for
Halloween
Invite ghouls, ghosts and other guests to a scary good time with your classy and well-thought-out dinner party. Here are a few ways to make your dinner table as devilishly good as the meal you'll be cooking up.
1. Decide on a theme
The theme does not need to be followed strictly but it does give a nice impression when the table setting follows one. Choosing a color theme is the easiest way to impress your guests. For this season's table, we chose to combine cool tones to light out the fire of the burned earth tones.
2. Avoid big centerpieces
An elaborate centerpiece can sometimes come off as too showy. It can even ruin a pleasant dinner because it gets in the way of your guests sitting across from each other. So keep the elaborate decorations off the table. If you do have a big floral arrangement, move it to the side when the guests take their places to keep it from.
3. Make it easy for yourself
Someone wants another beer again? Spare yourself the trouble of running inside. Place the beverages in baskets close to the table (a bag of ice in the bottom keeps them cold). When in the kitchen, save your outfit from stains with a nice apron. Most of our aprons have pockets for any utensils you may need to keep within reach.

4. Lots of candles for the ambiance
Most of us remember to put candles on the dining table. But don't forget to stand larger lanterns on the floor, hang them on the trees, or on the railings.

5. Make your guests comfortable
We all know how a hard chair or a chilly breeze can ruin a dinner experience. Adding soft cushions for back support and cozy throws and blankets on each chair will guarantee you a hostess of the year award.
