Bloody Banquet Halloween Party

Blood is the perfect Halloween party theme. There are so many great Halloween decorations out there for it, you are almost assured success! From the Bloody Banquet party invitations to the blood themed drinks, this Halloween party is one that your guests will never forget.

Bloody Banquet Halloween Invitations

We created a spooky Bloody Banquet theme invitation that is sure to impress your guests. There is also a large selection of Halloween invitations to choose from, so go with whatever strikes your fancy. 

If you want to be creative and make your own invitation stick with the blood theme. Print your party information on off-white or flesh colored paper. You can layer it on a piece of black or red cardstock to give it a more finished look. Buy some first aid gauze and splatter it with red paint. Let it dry completely and wrap the invites in the gauze. Mail the invite in a padded envelope.

You can also mail your invitation in a box with some black paper shreddz and a bloody finger prop.  Tie a white string around the finger and attach a tag the reads "Don't forget to RSVP".

When you decorate the room, start with the background decorations and then add some great props to take it over the top. Here are a few that we think are perfect for setting your bloody stage -

• Chop Shop Decorating Kit - Perfect for a blank wall in the party room, really sets the scene!

• Bloody Weapon Garland - This customer favorite can go just about anywhere, but we love it adorning an archway or mantle.

• 3D Blood Splats Drips - These gory plastic clings are great for mirrors and windows.

• Bloody Spider Web - A Halloween decorating staple with a bloody twist, perfect for your theme.

• Bloody Gauze Streamer - Another great all over decoration that can add a bloody touch to every room.

• Dripping Blood Door Gore - We all have that one room we don't want guests to venture into, so keep them out with this bloody message.

Complement all these great decorations with low lighting and candles. If you want a dungeon like appearance but don't want open flames everywhere you can put out these great flame torch lanterns.
 

Now that you have the basic decorations taken care of you can start to add in some gory props to really take the party to the next level -

• Body Parts Assortment - Well, where is all the blood coming from anyway? Scatter these gruesome pieces and parts around and let your guests fill in the blanks.
• Bloody Weapons - An assortment of deadly decorations will ratchet up the threat level...

• Head Split with Machete - An unfortunate victim, lost his head during all the party planning.

• Man with Knife Shower Curtain with Sound - Don't forget to decorate the bathroom. It's "curtains" for your guests! [insert "Psycho" shower scene sound here]

Combine these cringe-worthy decorations with some blood for a great effect.  Because what would a blood theme party be without blood? You can use blood gel for your costume or stage blood around the room. Or make your own -

Fake Blood

3 parts clear corn syrup
1 part water
Corn starch or chocolate syrup for thickening
Red and blue food coloring

Combine corn syrup and water. Add the red and food coloring and mix. Add a small amount of blue food coloring to achieve a more realistic shade. Now add the corn starch or chocolate syrup and mix until you get the desired thickness. If you use cornstarch you may have to strain it to remove any lumps. Chocolate syrup will make the "blood" a realistic red/brown color. Refrigerate until your ready to use, and use within 2-3 days of mixing. Be aware that the food coloring in this recipe may temporarily stain skin and will permanently stain clothes.

So know the rooms are perfectly frightful, it's time to move of to setting out the repugnant buffet...

Bloody Banquet Table Decorations and Menu 

Your best bet is to start out with Bloody Banquet paper goods. The matching plates, cups, napkins and more will lend morbid flair to the food.

I love the idea of decorating the buffet area like a grisly butcher shop. Place a hanging bloody butcher somewhere near the buffet. A meat hook chain garland  and a chop shop sign behind or above the food is a great touch. Now just scatter a few body parts around the table and everyone will get the idea. Here are a few of our favorites -

• Bloody Brain

• Bloody Butcher Heart

• Butcher Shop - Fingers
• Bloody Eyes Sack
• Hand and Cleaver

For dinner serve a variety of meat such as pulled pork, sausage and beef brisket. Let everyone wonder what it really is! Check out this really great site that shows you how to do a great "cannibal" themed dinner. A few of the ideas use these fun heart and brain molds.

Also super fun is this "In My Veins" drink dispenser. Yum! You can also serve a fun blood themed drink as well -

Bloody Mary

serves 1

1 1/2 ounces vodka
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Tabasco to taste
Salt and pepper
1 celery stick (for garnish)

In a cocktail shaker, add vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, ice and salt and pepper to taste. Shake well, then strain into a tall glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish with celery.

It's a shocking spread, everyone will agree!

Bloody Banquet Party Games

I think having a horror movie screening is a great idea. Whether you go current or classic, everyone will love a good scare! Here are a few of my favorites -

• Dracula - with the great Bela Lugosi, classic

• Halloween - the original slasher flick

• Psycho - a great Hitchcock classic

• The Addams Family - a fun and not too scary choice

• The Nightmare on Elm Street - Freddy Krueger is the star in this 80's slicer-dicer

• Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The original 1974 classic or the 2003 remake are both great

• Scream - Part horror, part teen-flick and part comedy, but always a great scare

• Saw - a gory Halloween tradition with several sequels

No Halloween party is complete without a costume contest! Let your guests know that there will be a contest on the invite and prepared to be wowed. Give a fun Halloween trophy to the winner.

Or choose from our list of great Halloween Party Games.

Bloody Banquet Halloween Costumes

The perfect Halloween party is not complete without the perfect Halloween costumes. As a host you should have a fantastic costume that matches the theme. Here are a few fantastic options -

• Prom Nightmare - This blood-soaked beauty is ready to party!
• Bloody Butcher - Dinner's on!
• Maniacal Mime - Mime's are scary when they are not covered in blood. This guy is horrifying!
• Drac Attack Shirt - Oh well, another one bites the dust!

Too bad you won't be qualified to win your own costume contest, you would be a shoe in!

Bloody Banquet Party Favors

Send your guests home with a spooky souvenir from your Bloody Banquet. The perfect favor is a bottle of champagne or wine with a personalized Bloody Banquet bottle label that matches your invitations. Many companies release special edition Halloween wines and champagnes in the fall.

Candy is the standard Halloween treat, you can take it to the next level with a personal touch -

• Halloween Mint and Candy Tins

• Personalized Candy Bars

Everyone wll have such a bloody good time at your Halloween party they will be speculating about next year on the ride home!
