You’ve inspired us to put together the ultimate sophisticated Halloween party! One thing we know for sure, if you’re looking for a combination of Halloween and sophisticated style, get ready for a LOT of pumpkins
1. Letterpress Invites: The first way to add a little fancy to your party is to create gorgeous invitations. Letterpress might be a little more involved than you like, but is sure to inspire. (Photo: Oh So Beautiful Paper)
2. Lace Pumpkin: For a fancier pumpkin, wrap yours in lace! Simply lay fabric over the pumpkin, cut a hole for the stem, and secure at the bottom with glue or tape (if you’re looking for something more temporary). Love the idea of making mini lace pumpkins too!(Photos: Positively Splendid and Better Homes and Gardens)
3. Festive Name Cards: A great way of combining a little class with a more playful tone is to make whimsical name cards. So cute! (Photo: The Celebration Shoppe)
4. DIY Glitter Pumpkin Candle: Love this glittery look! If orange is a little too loud for your soiree, glitter it up with gold and white. (Tutorial and photo: Twig and Thistle)
5. Pumpkin Table Setting: You can achieve a more general fall vibe with a few Halloween touches by combining pumpkins with gorgeous red and orange leaves, twigs from outside, and other warm hues. (Photos: The High Heeled Hostess)
6. Dessert Table: An easy way to add a Halloween vibe to a fancier party is at the dessert table. No one can reason a festive collection of treats. (Photo: Amy Atlas)
7. Treat Bowls: For just a touch of Halloween class, decorate candy bowls using black tape or craft paper and turn them into clear jack-o-lanterns. (Photo: The Celebration Shoppe)
8. Baker’s Twine Pumpkins: More pumpkins! This time, wrap them up in twine for a soft, country vibe. For this project, cardboard pumpkins were used but you could definitely do this with regular ones. (Tutorial and photo: Crafts Unleashed)

13. Ghostly Ceiling Decor: If you’re partying in the outdoors, create some mood lighting by filling a water balloon with water, a glowstick, and then putting it in a stocking. Soooo spooky! (Photo: Hearts of Glass)

16. Canning Jar Ring Pumpkin: If you’ve got a bunch of canning rings (mason jar lid rims) laying around the craft room or kitchen, put them to good use with this fun DIY pumpkin.(Tutorial and photo: Simply Klassic)
17. DIY Spooky Fabric Art: For this project, you can print graphics directly onto fabric, so long as you follow the instructions carefully. Love the vintage look. (Tutorial and photo: Graphics Fairy)
18. Spider Infested Flora: Finally, when in doubt, you can always add creepy crawly spiders!(Photos: Martha Stewart)
