About this

A family-friendly Halloween Monster Mash party plan built around an easy three-ingredient Fanta soda-pop ice cream that becomes a Monster Mash Ice Cream Mocktail. The page shows how to style a simple, inexpensive monster-themed treat station with store-bought sweets and a few playful personal touches.

The plan

Designate one area of the party as the focal point and treat station.

Keep the party simple, inexpensive and laid back so it doesn't take weeks of planning.

Buy store-bought treats and add just a few extra things to personalize them.

Choose decorations that serve a purpose, like using monster treat bags as decor.

Pick up the special Halloween Fanta at Family Dollar, and take advantage of the digital Smartcoupon deal.

Pick a Fanta flavor to match your party's color scheme — orange Fanta was used because it's the kids' favorite and matched the bold monster colors.

Decoration ideas

Use a lemonade stand as the party focal point and treat station.

Cover the lemonade stand in black and white striped fabric.

Add a colorful rug (borrowed from a daughter's room) for a pop of color that looks a little like a fuzzy monster.

Hang a colorful circle garland.

Set out monster photo booth props for a colorful pop.

Use monster treat bags as part of the decorations since they also serve a purpose.

Keep the rest of the decorations fairly simple to match the laid-back party.
