Halloween is not just for the kids - in fact we love the idea of creating a ladies night Halloween cocktail party with a gothic-glam twist.

Our entire party was put together using the Round and Round the Skulls Halloween invitation from Pear Tree Greetings we sent out as inspiration. It gave us the perfect icon to use as a motif in our decor that was just as glam as it was spooky.

One of the first design elements on Pear Tree's Halloween invitation we were drawn to was the unique circle shape. This is the kind of invitation that grabs your attention when you open your mail and will make sure guests RSVP "yes"!

We wanted to get the ladies together for a night of frightful fun just for them before the chaos of last-minute costume prep, candy shopping, Halloween decorating and trick-or-treat to-do's came rushing up.

The skull image is iconic in both Halloween and the Gothic world so we decided to design a Gothic-Glam ladies night cocktail party for our friends.

The invitations have a bit of a lacy look around the edge so we incorporated lace fabric into the table with a simple overlay. The rest of our Gothic Glam look is achieved by using dark colors and some blingy embellishments from the craft store. Our reoccurring skull and skeleton motif can be found in our table decor, appetizers, dessert, and party favors. This ladies' night will be a frightfully good time!

Read on and check out all the how-to's to recreate this party for you and your girls this year at Halloween!

This idea was sponsored by Pear Tree Greetings.
