Halloween Party

Whilst Halloween falls on a Monday this year you can still use it as the perfect excuse to throw a thrilling party for friends and family over the weekend to "get you in the mood"!. Here are a few spooky suggestions to help you make your party a screaming success!

For Halloween fancy dress and decorations try Aberdeen’s PartyMania. Here you will find a fantastic selection of costumes to suit all – from Goth witches to Frankenstein to vampire lords. The shop also has a great selection of party supplies so you can stock up on all your extras such as cauldrons, broomsticks, plastic spiders and devils horns. 

If you are looking for a Halloween themed cake make sure you ask Kelly of Cults  to make the scariest cake around. You could also spread the Halloween joy and make cute cupcakes, decorated in a Halloween theme as an alternative to sweets for Trick or Treaters.

Take the hassle out of Halloween entertaining and get some help from Hudsons Catering where you will find oodles of passionate people serving up very scrummy food at this award winning business.

Pumpkins

Halloween would not be complete without the Jack O’ Lantern so drop by The Store to get your pumpkin and start carving!
