spider rings in ice cubes
round cake with web as decoration with spiders on it
hang bugs in door ways with fishing string
gummy worms in pudding for dessert
At great dessert is to make a dirt pie. You mix chocolate pudding and finely crushed oreo cookies together and this make a dirt like consistency. Then mix in gummy worms and any other gummy bugs they may sell in to it. Line a new flower pot with some wax paper then pour in your delicious "dirt." Add some more finely crushed oreo on top and maybe a worm or two.

round cake decorated with web - place spider rings on top
ice cubes with spiders in them ( cut ring part off)

Decorations:
Buy some plastic bugs from your local dollar store and place them all around the house. Hang them from the ceiling using fishing line. You could also buy candy bugs and sneak them on peoples plates.
for games you might get some eggplants or other dark veggie, pipe cleaners, play dough or modeling clay and have each guest make their own bug or spider.
Bug mountain cake was a great hit with my sons, the fun part was decorating.

I went to a five year old's bug party and they had all the kids make their own bags for their gift bag by stamping bug stamps in different colors of ink and stamping on the bag. Kids loved it.
I made a spider web cake at Halloween. The frosting was chocolate and the web was white. I piped several circles one inside the other to resemble a target. Then take a knife dipped in hot water, just barely drag it thru the piping from inside to outside and then outside to inside until you go all the way around and then you have a spider web.
Go to your local dollar store and pick up some "bug collector" kits. They come with a container and a net. They can catch fireflies. Great for party favors. Pick up plastic bugs there also and hide them around the yard and have a scavenger hunt. Make sure you count the bugs before hiding them. For prizes give out bags of candy and bugs. Make chocolate covered spiders with chinese noodles and melted chocolate. Throw large plastic bugs in a shallow container with water and have them "bob for bugs".
a fun thing to eat is "spider dogs" to make you slice a hot gog almost to the middle on both sides then flip and repeat so u shouls have 4 peices on either side now just roast over a fire or in a microwave and the "legs" curl up to look like a spider
how about using butterfly floating candles on your guest tables? There are some really beautiful ones at this website:
