It is October, which means it FALL, yall!! My favorite time of year. Not only is Tennessee beautiful in the fall as temps start to drop a bit, but this always feels like a kick-off to the holiday season. The last 3 months of the year are always my favorite with all the fun holidays and festivities that come along with it. And, first on that list is Halloween. I love the festive pumpkins and cute kids in costumes and even the occasional chic skull decoration part of this particular holiday. You can leave all the gore behind. Today I am going to show you how to throw a chic and modern Halloween party that will impress your guests.

3. The Favors:
I am a huge believer in not letting your guests leave empty handed.

Below are a couple of good options to bless your friends with:
- Message Pumpkins – Instead of Halloween inspired words, write everyone’s name on their pumpkin to take home with them.
- Halloween Candy Skull Bags – Pack this super chic candy bags with a few of your favorite halloween candies to send home with your guests. They can re-use this bag for other things later.
- Pumpkin Granola – Pack up mini mason jars with this homemade granola, ties a cute ribbon around it and pass out to your guests as they leave!
