Posh Party Plan 1: For Mystery Lovers, Romantics and History Buffs — An Eloquent Masquerade Ball
Even Romeo and Juliet had a passion for costume parties. The difference between their costume parties and the usual Halloween costume theme was in the choice of apparel. If you really want to break the mold, go all out by throwing an eloquent masquerade ball, complete with bejeweled Mardi Gras style masks which can also double as wall décor. Keep the rest of your apartment simple and clear out space for a dance floor. This masquerade theme can be paired with 16th century inspired cocktails taken directly from the Romeo and Juliet era. In the 16th century, cider and perry were commonly served at extravagant balls. A spiced cider and rum punch will enhance the historical element of the theme. On the other hand, a few bottles of perry champagne would be equally historically accurate and require zero minutes of prep time.
Posh Party Plan 2: For the Artistic Halloween Host — Halloween in an Art Museum
Turn your luxury living space into an art gallery for the evening by hanging water colored fall scenes from the walls and purchasing a few display cases. Carefully line the display cases with Halloween favorites. Anything from colorful candy bars to spooky skeletons and animated monsters will look amazing under the glow of an illuminated display case. Meticulously sculpted pumpkins would also be a nice touch. To draw more on the artistic element, pair this theme with a crafty candy corn cocktail and suggest a business casual dress code. Picture the type of apparel you would don to an exclusive art gallery opening.
Posh Party Plan 3: For Traditional Hosts — A Black Tie Affair with a Pop of Blood Orange
Sometimes less really is more in terms of sophistication. Traditional party throwers can host an upscale black tie only event. A touch of blood orange here and there is all that’s really necessary to add a Halloween signature. Pair this simplistic party with an organic blood orange cocktail and enjoy.
