Hallows Eve Inspiration!

I'm throwing Ben a Halloween birthday party on the 30th for his 26th birthday. We decided to go for a 1920's Mobster theme and I'm trying to get right into it like I usually do. There are some REALLY fun non-traditional Halloween inspired parties out there. Here are just a few atypical Halloween party ideas (I love non-traditional). I'm not as much into the usual black and orange and Halloween decoration isn't something I've gotten really excited about in the past. So this year I decided to try a few words on for size when it came to my decorating plan - chic, affordable and not quite scary but eerie!  I thought a deep purple and lots of glittery touches would take care of that so that's my plan. Photos of my decorations to come.
