Needless to say, a real glowing Jack O' Lantern makes a great looking centerpiece for your Halloween banquet table. If you are holding a themed party, carve the pumpkin to be complementary to that theme. As an example, if you are having a Vampires Ball, carve the pumpkin to look like a vampire's face, or bats flying over a full moon. If you do use a carved pumpkin, we suggest you use an artificial candle like those available at most retail stores during the Halloween season. They simulate a flickering candle, but without the fire hazard of a real flame.

There are all sorts of Halloween decorations that can also be used for serving table centerpieces. Autumn colored flowers, both real or artificial, look great and can really dress up a room. The Bloody Pumpkin Fountain and a Lemax Spooky Town haunted house both make for a great centerpiece! You can use a plastic cauldron and add dry ice and toss in some glow-sticks for added effect. You can also create creepy centerpieces by filling vases with dead flowers, brown leaves, and empty branches. Tie a black ribbon bow around each centerpiece.

Mixing various types of Halloween decorations is a great way to create a unique centerpiece or display that will impress your Halloween party guests. One example is to arrange a full size Bucky Skeleton, a large Halloween Tombstone and either a real or artificial Jack O' Lantern together into a spooky display. Just add some dead leaves, vines and fake moss around it as a final touch. For lots of great information on Halloween Skeletons and Halloween Tombstones visit the Halloween Skeleton and Halloween Tombstones websites.

A Halloween Ice Sculpture can add a classy ambience to your Halloween table or even propped up in your punch bowl! You can use a multitude of things as molds to make an ice sculpture, such as a decorative cake pan in the shape of a Jack O' Lantern, tombstone, skull or bat. Basically all you do is fill the mold with water or punch, add a little food color if you'd like it to have a colored tint to it and place it in the freezer until it is frozen solid.
