Halloween season is upon us and Evite
(www.evite.com), the leader in digital invitations and social
planning since 1998, today revealed its spooktacular Party Trend
Report which features other-worldly insight on trends, tips, treats
and beverage ideas to help hosts make their party a scream.
Halloween events are Evite's second
most popular occasion with more than 950K invitations sent across
the nation for both the adult and children parties this year. Even
more, the Bay Area of California –
which includes San Jose,
Oakland and San Francisco – topped the list as Evite's

Diego, Houston and
Austin.
"This year, the hottest party theme – 'Haunted Fairytale' –

are so many fairytale classics to play off of, and we are thrilled
to offer hosts all the ideas and resources they need to throw a
creative, but stress-free and unforgettable experience."
HALLOWEEN
What's
trending: This year's hot theme for Halloween parties is "Haunted Fairytale" where
everything from the invitations, to decor and treats plays off
classic children's fairytales such as Cinderella, Snow
White and The Wizard of Oz. It is very glam
meets mysterious but it's a theme that can appeal to a variety of
different personalities and age groups, from children all the way
to adults.
Top decor: It's all about DIYs this Halloween. What's more appealing than handmade
decor that is simple yet affordable and on budget? From DIY Bat and
Ghost Garlands, a Spider Web Votive and Gold Pumpkin Centerpieces,
to a Candy Corn Pinata and Monster Bowling Set, party planners can
easily craft party decor that fits their unique color scheme.
Recipe suggestions: Treats that pay homage to classic
Halloween imagery are all the rave
this Halloween, particularly cupcakes
such as Candy Corn Boo, Graveyard, Witch-Finger, Bloodshot or
Sparkling Pumpkin. Other sweets like Mummy Marshmallows, Melted
Witch Apples or the savory Popcorn Monster Mash-up also work well
on the table.
Cocktail ideas: If you're throwing a big Halloween bash, setup a 'Boos' bar so guests can
serve themselves and add as many garnishes as they wish. Try
beverages such as the Orange Soda Potion Bottles for kids and
Blood Orange Martinis for the adults in the house.
Top invitations: No matter which "Haunted Fairytale" themed
party you choose, there are invitations on Evite.com to match.
