There are a lot of great decor tips we’re taking away from this Halloween Bash from Jen Pinkston of The Effortless Chic and photographer, Stephanie Godfrey; but one of their food ideas is undeniably genius– a no-silverware-needed menu! We’re definitely adopting that one for future kid’s parties.

Their party became a reinvention of “Where the Wild Things Are”; each child choose from their favorite animal mask & tail, and took on the persona, chasing each other through the yard.

That no-silverware-needed menu of “ghouled” cheese sandwiches with tomato basil soup for dipping, angus beef burgers on brioche buns with all of the fixings, and sweet treats of chocolate dipped apple owls, pretzel wands, and marshmallow pops was a total hit, obvs.

Those masks are just the best, aren’t they?

Love this modern take on the Halloween party!
