Halloween is this week and I found these amazing photographs over at Country Living that were shot by Ryan Benyi – a photographer that I have had the honor of meeting as he is BFF with a good friend of mine. His photographs make me swoon! I love the way this party is set up and would be really easy to recreate in a wooded area or a backyard. I like the idea of having a Halloween party for the adults too! A great idea is to have a kiddo party in the house first and then invite the adults back later for a backyard fete like this. Halloween parties for adults can be thrilling as it brings back the whimsy and fun with dressing up! I love to dress up for Halloween and feel like it is one of the best days of the year for adults too!
Simple Halloween Party Menu:
Cornish hens
butternut squash soup in a gourd or pumpkin
green salads
large batards of French bread
and Vampire Wine!
And what adult would not love trays of candy apples for dessert?
Here is a simple recipe for butternut squash soup.
Simple and delicious.
And what are you dressing up as mama’s?
So we should come over late on Friday, right?
