Sharing is caring!

Thinking about planning a Vampire themed party? Whether you are planning one for Halloween or for the final season of Vampire Diaries, it makes for a fun and spooky party theme. 

A couple of my family are big Vampire Diaries fans and with Halloween here, it makes for a perfect celebration. I am sharing some tips on planning a Vampire Themed party today. Don't forget to make some fun DIY Bat decorations.

Planning a Vampire Themed Party? I've got some party ideas and simple recipes for you!

Planning a Vampire Themed Party

Let your party guests know about your party with electronic or paper invitations letting your guests know that you are inviting them into your home. Because everyone knows that vampires cannot enter human homes unless they are invited in by the owner of the home.

ACTIVITIES

Consider having a fun contest for the best costume, most original or scariest look. Set up an area for guests to vote on their favorites. Give small gift prizes such as candies or a small trophy.

Watch Vampire shows or movies.on TV or on a screen outside in the backyard.  Some fun ones are:

  • Vampire Diaries
  • Angel
  • True Blood
  • Van Helsing
  • Dark Shadows
  • Dracula
Planning a vampire party

Serve some fun red soft drinks or cocktails that fit the party theme. Name your drinks around the vampire theme, such as Vampires Kisses or Midnight Mocha Lattes. Put water bottles and sodas in a fun vampire cooler.

DECOR IDEAS

Decorate the house or yard with this fun and very inexpensive items:

Make these fun coffee filter bats and decorate the room.

Halloween Bat Decorations
  • plastic fangs - put these on the table or on a drinking glass for fun.
  • garlic bulbs - you can cook with these afterward

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
