The best part of decorating with letter boards is that you don’t have to commit to one quote or design for the season—change them up anytime you want! Borrow one of these funny phrases or come up with your own—then use it to inspire your indoor Halloween decor this spooky season.
Fill the Candy Bowl
Is it really Halloween if you don’t devour everything in the candy bowl before Halloween night? If you plan on stocking up for your candy monsters, go ahead and buy two bags of everything. Reese’s pumpkins are so good, that you could easily eat half of them before it’s time to don the Halloween costumes.
Whose Candy Is It, Anyway?
No shame here! If you took the time to dress a small human in a kid’s Halloween costume, taught them how to say “trick-or-treat,” and followed them from door to door all night, you deserve those full-size Snickers ($6 for 6, Target). Besides, they’ll never notice that one or two (or three or four) chocolate bars went missing in the night. And if you’re not trick-or-treating this year, these at-home Halloween activities involve plenty of candy for moms and dads.
Never Too Early
If you see Halloween as just a stepping stone to the Christmas season, you’re not alone! It’s never too early to decorate for Christmas and play holiday tunes. If you want to combine holiday decor, try putting up a Halloween-theme ceramic Christmas tree.
Mom’s Favorites Only, Please
Kit Kat bars ($4, Target) and Reese’s peanut butter cups ($4, Target) both landed on this year’s most popular Halloween candy list, so we think this mom has the right idea with her funny Halloween quote! Bonus points if you can teach your little one to pick the pumpkin pie-flavored Kit Kats out of trick-or-treating bowls.
Ghostly Giggles
In some towns, children are expected to tell a joke in order to earn their trick-or-treat candy, so we love the idea of a letterboard that rotates a few good puns and funny Halloween quotes throughout the season. And we’re totally loving the paper bats: You can incorporate the bat theme into your own decor by hanging this easy paper bat garland on a mantel or over your letterboard.
Disney-Inspired Lyrics
These re-imagined lyrics from The Little Mermaid have us cracking up. No matter how many Snickers, Twizzlers, and fun-size Butterfingers ($4, Target) we buy for our pumpkin-shaped candy dishes, it will never be enough!
Low-Effort Decor
We can totally relate to this one! Halloween gives us a good excuse to leave those cobwebs—especially faux ones, like this braided yarn spiderweb—on display all season long. Of course, there are more important things than dusting this time of year—like stocking up on Halloween candy and ensuring your outdoor Halloween decor is tip-top.
Wine, Please!
We won’t lie. Sometimes a glass of wine is exactly what you need after a long night of trick-or-treating with little monsters. Lucky for you, we’ve come up with the best wine pairings for every Halloween candy, so all you have to do is pour a glass and relax!
Pumpkin Patch
This might be the most accurate thing we’ve ever read about the pumpkin patch. Sure, you can get a cheap pumpkin at the grocery store, but where’s the fun in that? Plus, going pumpkin picking is one of the safer Halloween activities. You can bet we’ll be there with the family at least once this season. Before you go, read up on a pediatrician’s expert tips about pumpkin patch safety.
It’s Hocus Pocus!
We find ourselves using this phrase a lot in the days leading up to Halloween. Costume doesn’t fit right? It’s just Hocus Pocus! All the candy corn mysteriously disappeared from the candy dish? Hocus Pocus! Take a line from the classic Halloween movie and turn it into clever Halloween decor.
Coffee Withdrawals
You don’t have to don a costume to get a super scary Halloween look—just ask this letterboard! A lack of caffeine sounds terrifying in the middle of the Halloween rush. Besides, Starbucks is still serving Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, so why deprive yourself?
