A lush velvety color palette of black, gold, and jewel tones will transport guests to the Victorian era as soon as they enter the room. Combined with plenty of candlelight and glittery stars, the mood will be instantly set for a night full of mystical magic. I also made sure to bring the Halloween feel into my fortune-telling party by including things like hanging bats, spiders and their webs, and plenty of skulls and bones!
The items you use to serve your cocktails or snacks can also be used to bring in the Halloween vibe. I decorated a bar cart with spooky skulls, more tarot cards, a candelabra with black taper candles, and, of course, potion bottles & glasses for adult beverages.
A DIY Ouija-Inspired Serving Tray proved to be the perfect way to ask the dead for a fortune…while doubling as a way to serve snacks! You can find instructions on how to make one HERE.

I strung them on twine to make a garland, placed them in the hands, mouths, and necks of my life-size skeleton guests, laid them out as table decor, and even used them to make cute DIY Palmistry Chart Place Cards for each place setting.
