A Party-Planner’s Guide to the Ghostly Mansion
Welcome to the Ghostly Mansion!
There’s no turning back now...
The happy haunts have received your sympathetic vibrations and conjured up a foreboding feast of frightful fun with our Ghostly Mansion Party Guide.
From eerie decor to spectral snacks and hauntingly good games, your final arrangements await... 💀
Join us — we’re dying to have you as our guest.
Obviously we’re huge fans of Disney’s Haunted Mansion and celebrate the iconic ride and the mythos it has inspired. Here we’ve mixed Haunted Mansion memorabilia with other spooky elements to build an homage. Feel free to use more or less true-to-form elements to make your haunted event uniquely your own!
Ghost Host with the Most
Our ghostly gathering begins with our terrifying table-scape, where a spellbinding palette of lush purples and shadowy blacks sets the tone for an evening filled with eerie elegance and playful fright. Drawing inspiration from the mansion’s infamous wallpaper, drape your table in layered textiles—velvets, gauze, and damask—easily found at your local craft store, to weave a design that feels both haunting and refined.
Summon a spectral glow by lighting your scene with flickering candles. Nestle taper candles into black brass holders to create the illusion they’re floating in thin air, or place them in an antique-style candelabra for a touch of ghostly grandeur.
Now, set your otherworldly table with black spiderweb placemats, mansion-shaped plates, ornate antique chargers, and glass candleholders that shimmer like phantoms in the night. For a devilishly delightful detail, perch elegant gold metal bats at each place setting—perfect for guiding your guests to their haunted thrones.
Finally, conjure up the perfect finishing touch with a frighteningly fresh floral arrangement—think eerie blooms tangled with haunted touches like tombstone picks or ghostly vines. The scene you create won’t just impress... it’ll summon intrigue. Guests will feel drawn to cross over into a realm just beyond the veil—of what, you ask? Let’s just say, when the glasses clink and the candles flicker, don’t be surprised if a few mischievous spirits crash the party!

Sinuous Spirits
Summon your guests to the bar with a chilling selection of creepy cocktails that are sure to raise the dead (or at least their spirits).
🕯️ Restless Spirits
The veil has thinned... and the spirits have been unleashed. This non-alcoholic potion bubbles with mysterious charm—conjured from orange juice, a lime green Jell-O packet, ginger ale, club soda, and served bubbling over dry ice. One sip, and you may just feel a ghostly presence at your elbow…
⚰️ The Final Vow Cocktail
No swinging wake is complete without making your final vow. This eerie elixir blends vodka, blue curaçao, sweet & sour mix, grenadine, and cranberry juice—all poured over ice and garnished with gummy worms wriggling from beyond the grave. It’s bold, bewitching, and just a little bit wicked.
Ghostly Mansion Menu
It’s love at first Doom Buggy bite with our Haunted Mansion inspired menu—where every course tells a chilling tale and every flavor dares you to dine with the dearly departed.
🪦 Quick Sand-wich” (Deconstructed BLT)
A trio of posh lettuces, impeccably dressed and flanked by crispy bacon, sink slowly into a sinister abyss of tomato marmalade. Quick! Grab a bite before it disappears forever beneath the surface...
💥 Out with a Bang – (Crab Cakes)
This explosive entrée may just blow your breeches off! A distinguished duo of dynamite crab cakes are buried beneath charred Cajun corn relish and embalmed in a fiery, firecracker sauce. Handle with care—these spirits have bite.
🎪 The Tightrope – (Cucumber Salad)
A delicate duel of torn garden greens tangled with tender cucumber ribbons, balanced precariously atop a scaly tail and shaded beneath an edible parasol of petals. One false move, and the flavor may plunge into madness…
🔮 Madam Leota’s Ghastly Ghost Cake – (Red Velvet Cake)
Dark, bloody-red velvet rises from the underworld, crowned with ghostly meringue apparitions and smothered in a cream cheese frosting so rich, it lingers like a whisper from the beyond. One forkful, and the séance begins…
