12. Skeleton Dinner Party Table

Seat full-size skeletons at your table as “guests” for the ultimate Halloween icebreaker. Guests arrive to find the bony brigade already waiting, cocktails in hand — kids and adults alike adore this look.
What You’ll Need
- One or two poseable full-size skeletons
- Skull-shaped place card holders or mini skulls
- Dark tablecloth and simple dinnerware
- Red goblets or wine glasses
- Fake cobwebs and black roses
How to Make
- Seat your skeletons at the table before styling anything — pose one sipping a goblet, another “carving” a pumpkin.
- Lay the dark tablecloth around them and set simple dinnerware at every seat, including the skeletons’.
- Display guests’ names in skull place card holders at each setting.
- Drape cobwebs over the skeletons and tuck black roses into their ribcages.
- Fill red goblets at each place for a dramatic pop of color.
