Throw a Beachin’ Tropical Halloween Party

Halloween 2019 will be filled with killer clowns, sailor-inspired costumes, and skeletons of every type (I see you skeleton pig!).  Another hot trend popping up is tropical Halloween! I know, the beach and Halloween ideas don’t traditionally mix, but here are ten things you need to host a beachin’ tropical Halloween Party this year. From clever food and cocktail ideas to the latest in indoor and outdoor decor, I love these ways to bring a  tropical twist to your standard Halloween.

Your yard needs this sea monster from Grandin Road to greet guests…

…or perhaps Ace Hardware’s zombie flamingos are more your Walking Dead speed.

I nearly lost my head coming across Mom Foodie’s Creepy Shrunken VooDoo Heads Halloween Tart!  Plan ahead though, making the shrunken heads is a little bit of a process.

Haunt your bar with Pottery Barn’s ceramic tiki ceramic drinkware collection.

With blood red maraschino syrup and sugary green “goo”, head over to HGTV for their ghoulish take on the summer classic, the Morgue-A-Rita.

Bring macabre style to any flat surface with Target’s Skull Pineapple Halloween Decoration.  The eyes can light up!

Combining two hot trends with these fish and eel LED skeletons from World Market, they are a perfectly eerie touch to your haunted underwater scene.

Fawn Parties for Oriental Trading has a terrific DIY to creating a fabulously elegant mermaid skull centerpiece.

While you are at Oriental Trading, check out their skeleton mermaid string lights….

…and adorable skeleton monkey, perfectly tropical indeed.  I’m sorry, he is more cutey than spooky…not like the cursed monkey from Pirates of the Caribbean.
