Hello there! Did you enjoy the holiday weekend? We went to an Octoberfest and did some sight seeing and shopping. The weeks in Japan just seem to fly by. I can’t believe we have our annual USMC Birthday Ball, the holidays, and trips just around the corner!
Speaking of holidays, I’ve hosted a few witches tea parties (I believe 6 or 7 now?) in the past and they have always been so much fun. It’s a great excuse to get your friends together for a weekday or weekend lunch and have a good time. Today I’m sharing my best witches tea party DIYs and printables for this fun seasonal party.
Tablesetting Ideas
Black and white table setting featuring dollar store skull handkerchiefs as napkins, and chalkboard labels with fictional and historical witches names.
A gold, white, and black vignette. Use a white tablecloth or fabric for a backdrop. Spray paint yard branches white and shop your house for added decor.
This table was set for a broadway inspired tablescape but it’s Wicked theme is a perfect for a witches tea.
Gilded pumpkins, polka dots, and DIY faux leather snake napkin rings make an elegant setting for sophisticated witches.
Decorating Ideas and DIYs
Use a dollar store window film to create a spooky landscape. Hid the seams/edges with curtains for a realistic appearance.
Add a DIY pumpkin tree to your bookshelf. When Halloween is over, simply turn the pumpkins around for Thanksgiving styling.
Create a West Elm inspired black cake stand for just a few dollars. Perfect for displaying decor or “sand-witches”.
