{HOLIDAY} Ghastly Gatsby's Halloween Haunt

My roommate Cami and I threw a Halloween dinner party for the second year in a row. This year we went with a 1920s Gatsby theme. We invited 16 people over (even number guys and girls). We started with appetizers, a photo booth in the front patio, and a game. Next we had everyone come inside for dinner. We played a variety of games throughout the night; three rounds of Mafia, the name game and ended with paper bag limbo. Our friend Jann drew the art deco place mats and spray painted the photo booth back drop. It helped to have friends contribute some food. We made assignments of appetizers, drinks, and a side dish. The party was a roaring success! We loved throwing it!  

Happy Halloween!

thanks for the pics dave!

    Wow! I wish I could've gone to this gourmet fancy schmance party. You guys did such a cool job with the decorating. I love the table settings and the crooked hanging mirrors. The costumes are exquisite too...not just thrown together. And, I love your lipstick

    Soak up fun times like these b/c now I'm home with a baby and don't get to fun things like this!

    Totally loved this party! My favorite: everyone keeping their costumes to a theme! It's a very hard request for people to follow! In the end, everything came out gorgeous! Definitely saving this for inspiration next year!

    Looks like so much fun! I wish you were here to help me come up with a costume for Benson's work Christmas party this Friday. Your mom is bringing a suit for Benson and one of your or Jane's old dance festival dresses for me. Hopefully they fit!
