How to plan your own DIY Hocus Pocus Party

Welcome to my Hocus Pocus Party! This theme is so much fun for a spooky Birthday, Baby Shower or Halloween Party. Channel your inner Sanderson Sister and learn how you can make your own DIY Hocus Pocus Party for your event.

This post will be an overall summary of what went into designing and making the party come to life. If you have questions or want me to go into more detail on specifics, let me know in the comments and I would be happy to make a blog all about it. There will be another post showing where I got everything for the party so you can find it too.

Decorations

Backdrop

My Hocus Pocus party backdrop is a basic purple tablecloth (Dollar Tree). I used chalk to make a outline for my potion smoke effect. You can find the tissue pom poms at Dollar Tree, I cut them in half to make double the amount. to highlight texture and “bubbles” I add balloons and a star banner (wish). Top everything with my I smell a child Banner.

Party Table

I decided to keep my table front simple. I used a plastic black tablecloth (Dollar Tree) and a spider web fabric table cloth in a triangle. Adding a shine with a copper circle banner (Dollar Tree) worked so nicely. The top of the party table filled up quickly, but if you look closely you can see my silver place mats.

Table Decorations

Table decorations are one of my passions. From left to right, add tombstones!! the Sanderson sisters spent so much time in cemeteries they work so perfectly. Help elevate your party food or décor try adding books that fit the theme. This black cool looking one is actually Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. Nestled in between the Hocus Pocus cupcakes and Black Flame Candle you can see a character cutout of Sarah Sanderson. My Black Flame candle is the easiest Hocus Pocus decoration and super affordable! The candle is black (Dollar Tree) and I created a printable you can Modge-podge the paper right to your candle. I found it needed to be higher on the table so I flipped a wine glass and hid the base with flowers. Sitting in front are the official Hocus Pocus cookies (Target).

You need pumpkins on your Hocus Pocus party table so I added some little ones I picked up from a local pumpkin patch. Another tombstone evened out the table. You’ll also need a BOOOooooOOOoook to complete your table. You can find your own spellbook in my shop, Its available in Sketchbook and notebook. The right side of the table held more sweets! Including witch popcorn mix (Target) topped with witch hats (Dollar Tree), and a huge chocolate cauldron (Harry Potter World). My table also included little Thank you Cauldrons for kids to take home.

I had a special guest during this party! No Ordinary Balloon Man came and made me a Binx Balloon for the table! His name is Bruce and he’s available in Orlando, FL and the surrounding areas! Just look at how cute Binx is! I used old books so show him off behind everything else. He also made a Witch broom for my little toddler witch!

Now to what every DIY Hocus Pocus Party needs, A BLACK CAULDRON! I found this cute one from Target, It came with this perfect green slime potion punch!
