About this
This is the Halloween Tablescapes archive page from the blog Between Naps on the Porch, a long-running hub for Tablescape Thursday table-setting parties. It collects dozens of Halloween and fall table-setting posts spanning 2016 through 2025, each with a short teaser and link. Recurring themes include ravens and Poe, skeletons and movie themes, dry-ice mist, vintage candelabras, Fitz & Floyd Halloween china, and holiday-themed birthday teas. Readers also get shopping roundups for Halloween/Thanksgiving dinnerware and charger-plate ideas.
The plan
- Set a candlelit Halloween table with a themed centerpiece such as ravens, skeletons, cats, or a pumpkin.
- Plan holiday-themed tea or birthday parties (Halloween tea, Halloween birthday tea) with themed place settings.
- Use a charger plate under each dinner plate to add a layer and catch drips.
- Shop early for fall and Halloween dinnerware and chargers while sales are on.
- If carving a pumpkin, scoop it out and use the flesh to make soup for the meal.
- Photograph the table and share tips, keeping Tablescape Thursday link-ups in mind.
