7. The Skeleton Dinner Party
Inject some dark humor into your dining room by hosting a dinner party where the guests of honor are life-sized plastic skeletons. Seat two or three poseable skeletons at your dining table, dressing them up in vintage formal wear—think top hats, pearl necklaces, lace shawls, or bow ties. Position their bony hands so they are holding wine glasses filled with dark red liquid, or raising a fork toward a plate of plastic bugs.
Set the rest of the table with your finest china, black cloth napkins, and a centerpiece of dark, moody flowers. This setup is a fantastic conversation starter and looks incredibly high-end. It strikes the perfect balance between macabre and hilarious, making your dining room look like a scene from a beautifully styled, spooky comedy film.
