The HomeFront: Halloween Entertaining

Boo! Halloween parties are one of those anything-goes events that are fun for all ages. But before you strap on your Frankenstein mask or don that pirate outfit, you might consider these specialty items guaranteed to get the party started. Prepare for a spooktacular event with these Dillard’s Halloween party essentials.

A little creepy but cute, this festive Oneida Frightful Treats Accent Dinnerware Collection perfectly captures the spirit of the season. This set includes treat plates with coordinating mugs, a serving bowl, cookie jar and latte mug all featuring fun owl and spider motifs. Suitable for party goers of all ages.

Who doesn’t get a nervous thrill from seeing a creepy, crawly spider? This spider web napkin holder and bat-themed cloth napkin may be too close for comfort for some: the spider looks realistic enough to crawl onto the table.

Frightfully fun and painstakingly detailed, the haunts of Department 56′s Halloween Hilda’s Witch House will give you and your guests shivers of excitement. Hilda is just an old lady with nothing to do but sweep her porch, feed her black cat — oh, and scare children for fun. Showcase this scary display on a table, add some spooky accessories and your Halloween party will take on a life all its own.

Shop more Halloween items in our Halloween Specialty Shop (if you dare).

The Homefront: Party Hosting Secrets

Want to become the perfect party host/hostess?

The secret is time. Being able to cook and serve your jovial dishes and snacks in the same beautiful dish will save you precious hours of kitchen cleanup and provide convenience, all while making you look like you carefully detailed and planned a fabulous get-together, without so much as ruffling a hair on your head.

Wilton Armetale serveware and cookware is made to withstand temperatures of up to 1000 degrees. In other words, you can cook White Chicken Chili in the Wilton Armetale William & Mary Soup Tureen on the stove, and then take it straight to the table. The same goes for Wilton Armetale serveware in the oven.

You can also pop the serving trays and dip bowls, like the Wilton Armetale Boston Dipping Bowl, in the fridge and it will keep your food colder longer – just chill and serve! Great for drinks, dips and salads.

It will not break, chip or crack – the same dish you buy today will be the same you use over and over as your reputation for being the perfect entertainer grows.
