Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) starts on November 1st. So we've partnered with Red Diamond Wine to share some fun and easy Day of the Dead cocktail party ideas.

I think Day of the Dead is a beautiful way to remember those who've passed. I love that the celebrations typically include bright colors, luscious foods, and of course decorated skulls, which tie in nicely with Halloween.

I love chalkboard anything! I think it adds a fun, casual style to any party. Here are some must-see chalkboard party ideas for 1st birthdays, baby showers, cocktail parties, weddings, family parties, and more. Click on the link or image to see what party the photo is from.
