Serve Your Halloween Drinks with Pizzazz! Dress It Up With A Straw Flag! Oct 31 Design

Why just serve a Halloween beverage when you can serve one with Pizzazz! Put your guests in the Halloween spirit right away.  Love the black and white polkadot straws (if you didn't know I LOVE polkadots!)  This DIY kit is soooo easy to assemble. Takes just minutes, but adds so much to your Halloween party decor. 

We bought these cute glass bottles at Zurchers but you an also find them at most party stores.  They just make the party more fun! 

Of course we inked the edges (I'm just that kind of girl)  I liked the aged look, especially for Halloween. The straw flag folds together and so it looks good from the back too.  They would actually look great atop a cake too. What else would you do with them? 

The lovely caramel colored beverage in the bottles is our FAVORITE apple cider from Allreds Orchards. It isn't a just a beverage....it's a TREAT!  It will become your favorite cider too, promise!

We designed these straw flags to go with our brand new Smiling Jack treat boxes. 

 HERE'S THE LINK so you can check them out too. They look great together!  

YOU can FIND these Straw Flags (including the straw)  HERE

Fabulous Halloween Birthday Party Printable-Invitation, Candy Wraps, Cupcake Toppers Etc

We thought, that since there were birthdays during the month of October, and even on Halloween itself, that we should design a Halloween Birthday Party Printable. So that's exactly what we did. Below you'll find we've included a lot of things that will help you celebrate a Halloween birthday in hauntingly good style!

Let's begin with a Halloween Birthday Party Invitation. Two to a sheet.....but print out as many as you need.

You could even put the straw flags on a lollipop stick (like the cupcake toppers above) and put in the top of a cupcake, cake pop or other treats. 

The Straw Flags come in two different designs.

 These are the large sized tags. They fit nicely on a 4" wide clear cello bag. Available at JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby or your favorite craft store.

 Here are the smaller treat bag toppers. They measure 3" across and fit nicely on a 3" wide clear bag.

 We wrapped up some chocolate Hershey Nuggets in these cute Happy Birthday nugget wraps.  You can fit as many as 8 in these pretzel rod bags (available at most hobby stores)  The little carrier they sit on measures 4" long by 1 7/8" wide with 1/4" scored on each side and folded up to become the tray that holds the candies.  Super simple!

 Fill the bags with Hershey Kisses, Rolos, Hershey Nuggets or the favorite candy of the birthday boy or girl. Such a sweet treat to send your guests home with (A "thanks for coming" gift)

  We used a 3/4" round paper punch for the Hershey Kiss tags. 

What's included in the fun Halloween printable?

1 sheet with 48 Hershey Kiss Tags (Happy Birthday & Happy Halloween printed)
1 sheet of 3" x 3" treat toppers (1.5" fold on front and back)
1 sheet or 4" x 4" treat toppers (2" fold on front and back)

1 sheet Hershey Nugget Wraps (comes in 2 different colors)
1 sheet of straw flags (2 different designs, 8 of each)
1 sheet of Cupcake toppers (can be used for drink wraps and treat bags too)
1 sheet of invitations (2 to a sheet, but print as many as you need)

As with all of our printables, you can print as many as you need. They are for personal use only, no resale or commercial use. When need to print we take it to Office Depot. They have a laser print that makes the colors crisp and beautiful.

Click HERE to get your own set of this Halloween Party Printable.  I predict a FABULOUS Halloween Birthday party in your future!
