Get ready to carve up some spooky fun by hosting a pumpkin carving party! We’ve got everything you need to host a gourd-geous night of creativity. From plump pumpkins waiting for your artistic touch to an array of carving tools, we’ve got you covered. Don’t forget to provide a tempting spread of snacks and treats. Host a night of laughter, carving, and tasty bites that will leave you saying, “Oh my gourd, what a fantastic party!” 🎃🍂👻
1. First things first, when hosting a pumpkin carving party, you can provide real pumpkins from your local pumpkin patch, or you can provide these faux pumpkins that can still be carved and will not shrivel or stink with the passage of time.
2. If you choose to go with real pumpkins, you may want to grab this tool to quickly and cleanly remove the pumpkin innards
3. Next you’ll need some pumpkin carving kits. Provide your guests with a wide variety of options as some may have more artistic flair and skill than others. For your more advanced pumpkin artist, a simple carving kit will do.
4. For your slightly less artistically inclined guests, this stencil kit is the perfect solution. It’s easy to use see the instructional video below!
5. You can use the tried and true “trace it” method by using a downloaded or hand drawn paper stencil and applying it to the surface of your pumpkin. Use a toothpick or tool to poke holes along the edge of the stencil to be your guide for cutting. Pro tip: Get the stencil paper damp and then apply to your pumpkin so it will stick to the curves and contours and be much easier to trace! See the instructional video below.
Or you can purchase these reusable stencils for pumpkin carving, art projects, and more, year after year.
6. Add some details with paint markers to take designs to the next level.
7. You’ll also need some battery operated votives for your pumpkins. Battery operated candles have the edge over actual fire because 1- they’re safer, and 2- you can choose the color you’d like instead of being stuck with plain jane yellow. Get this 24 pack of multi colored LED votives.
8. No party is complete without snacks. Serve your spooky snacks on this on theme pumpkin serving tray.
9. Or these cute witches cauldron serving dishes.
10. And serve drinks in these adorable spooky reusable tumblers with lids to prevent spills!
