811: Throwback Tricks & Treats: How to Host a Killer Halloween Party

This week we’re hitting rewind and bringing back one of my favorite episodes from last year — just in time for spooky season. I was joined by James and Shannon, who have been hosting elaborate themed Halloween parties for their family and friends for more than a decade. We talked all about how they pick a theme, plan and design the décor, send out invites, and put together food and drinks — all while keeping everything budget-friendly. If you’re looking for inspiration for your own Halloween bash, curious about the behind-the-scenes planning, or just love hearing creative traditions, this episode is packed with tips, tricks, and festive fun. So grab your pumpkin spice latte, light a candle, and enjoy this throwback conversation with James and Shannon.
