Summerween parties are all the rage right now! They are the perfect way to step into that cozy but spooky vibe despite it being the middle of summer. Plus, we all know someone who has multiple Halloween costume ideas but never enough events to wear them to (it's me-- I'm that someone).

One of my friends has hosted a Summerween party the last few years and it's always been so fun to attend! If you're looking for the best Summerween ideas, I've brewed some up for you in my cauldron. Here are the some of the spookiest Summerween ideas for this year.

This post is all about the spookiest Summerween ideas.

1. In My Spooky Cute Era Theme

I think this theme is sooooo cute and it feels even more perfect for Summerween! I'm living for the girly details, the pastels, and the iridescence.

2. Ghostface Charcuterie Board

This charcuterie board looks so yummy! Charcuterie boards are perfect for snacking (especially in the summertime) and this looks fairly easy to create.

3. Jack-O-Lantern Floats

Ugh, how cute! I love a float in the summer, so these are the perfect way to cool down while still being in the Halloween spirit. Plus there are so many ways you could decorate the faces on the cups!

4. Summerween Movie Night

I'm obsessed with combining the outdoor movie appeal with a fave Halloween/spooky movie. I attended a Summerween where we watched "Practical Magic" in the host's sunroom and it was so fun!

5. Bloody Popcorn

If you are planning to watch a movie during your Summerween party, this is the perfect snack! So simple but yummy.

6. Boo Kiss Cam Photo Booth

I am living for this photo booth idea! A prop/frame like this is such a cute way to capture the essence of the night in a photo.

7. Witch's Hat Ring Toss

Yard games like ring toss just scream summer to me. Pairing these classic summer activities with spooky elements to match the theme is the move!

8. Dripping Candle Decor

These spooky candles are so iconic and easy to make! Save some cool looking wine bottles, stick a candle in, and use a melted red crayon to drip wax down the candle for these hauntingly cute vibes.

9. Potion Shots

This actually might be the cutest way I've ever seen shots served. Putting the shots in little potion bottles and rimming them with sugar candy is the most Summerween thing!

10. Spooky Blood Orange Spritzer

Every Summerween party needs a spooky looking drink and this one has the added bonus of being so refreshing. I love the added touch with the eyeball and the blood orange garnish!

11. Skeleton and Coffin Drink Cooler

If you happen to have a skeleton lying around, this is the cutest way to serve beverages to your guests! I've also seen people use coffin-shaped containers filled with ice as a cooler and that matches the vibe too. Bonus points if you have the skeleton right next to the coffin for ultimate spooky vibes!

12. Paint and Sip

Sale

I loveeee having a little activity for my guests at parties. Doing a paint and sip moment would be such a cute activity for Summerween. You can paint something like this adorable lil ghostie or you can paint pumpkins! Since real pumpkins won't be in season for Summerween, you can always purchase fake white ones to paint.

13. Ghost and Jack-O-Lantern Balloons

This is such a cute way to decorate for Summerween. All you need is a Sharpie, some orange and white balloons, and some creativity to make these ghostly decorations.

14. Bubbling Cauldron

This is such a girly pop way to decorate for Summerween and would go perfectly with the "In My Spooky Cute Era" theme. The disco balls are such an iconic touch!

15. Flying Bats

Another cute and easy way to decorate for Summerween! You can make these or if you're feeling overwhelmed with the rest of the planning/decor, you can purchase them. Either way, a very batty decoration!

16. Franken-grapes

Sale

Okay, these Frankenstein grapes are adorable. I love to eat so much fruit in the summer, so this is the perfect way to combine refreshing fruit and spooky vibes.

17. Scream Theme

What a fun theme for Summerween! I love the combination of the hot pink girly vibes with the horror element. The phone props and the clapperboard napkins are everything.

18. Ghostie Cups

These ghost cups are another super cute idea! While they have popcorn in them here, they could also hold beverages or other snacks.

19. Fruit Jack-O-Lanterns

Nothing says "Summerween!" more than fruit carved like a jack-o-lantern. This is a great way to decorate with food!

20. Ice Scream Pool Party

Sale

There are so many elements of this that I am obsessed with! The pool party with the skeleton and the "Ice Scream" sign is the perfect combo of summer and Halloween.

21. Jack-O-Lantern Beach Balls

If you do end up having a pool party for Summerween, you can't skip these cute Jack-O-Lantern beach balls. These are the perfect touch to keep on with the spooky but summer-y vibe.

22. Ghostly Cute Macrame

This is for my crafty girls! I think this macrame decor is so cute between the fun colors and the little ghosties. Perfect decor for a girly Summerween!

23. Crescent Moon Goody Bags

Sale

If you're looking to get creative with your Summerween goody bags, look no further. These are such a cute and personal way to send your guests home with little snacks and trinkets. You can either glue or staple the bottoms of the plates together to make a little container.

24. Pink and Black and Witches' Hats

I am OBSESSED with this table set up. We've already established that I love a girly theme for Summerween and this is it. The little cauldrons for bowls and all of the pink has me hooked.

25. Halloween Taco Dip

I am here to put you on this amazing dip for Summerween. It is the perfect light dip with all of the spooky elements. My friend made this for her Summerween party and everyone was raving about how good it was.

26. Pink Drink

Back with another pink idea! The presentation of the drinks with the cotton candy and the Halloween drink toppers is so cute.

27. Disco Spiders

While I'm notttt the biggest fan of spiders, these are so cute!! I think these would also be cute in black or pink.

28. Hot Ghoul Summer

We love a hot girl summer so why not turn your Summerween into a hot "ghoul" summer? It's giving "chic". All you need for this theme is whatever makes you feel hot paired with some eerie decor!

29. Summerween Candy Bar

This is such a cute way to serve snacks to your guests! You could also serve up other snacks in these cauldrons, like the blood popcorn, Haribo Skeletties, or eye ball candy.

30. Caramel Apple Bar

Once again, the perfect way to combine fall and summer vibes. This caramel apple bar gives autumn without being a heavy treat. You could also decorate the apples with toppings to create eerie creatures like a mummy or Frankenstein!

31. Witchy Charcuterie Board

If the other charcuterie board wasn't your style, this witchy one might be perfect. I'm obsessed with the celestial elements!

32. S'mores Bar

This s'mores bar is the cutest! It may be difficult to find Halloween themed Peeps for Summerween, but you could decorate your marshmallows if you're really committed. I also think that just the presentation makes it a vibe!

33. Summerween Soda Bar

I've been obsessed with soda bars recently so I love this idea! For my girlies who love to whip up a fun drink, now is your time to shine.

34. Spooky Photoshoot

I remember when the ghost photos first started trending and I'm still in love with them. Offering sheets and other props to your ghosts (I mean... guests...) is such a fun way to capture parts of the evening on camera! I think it would be really cute to take them on a Polaroid and provide them to your friends as a party favor.

35. Floating Hands Punch

If you're serving any kind of punch at your Summerween, this is a must do. These ice hands create such a creepy element!

36. Skeletal Flamingos

Another decoration idea! I love the idea of taking normal summer decorations and making them spooky for Summerween. The options are endless that way!
