Thinking about getting married or just want to throw zombie-themed wedding party? Even though Halloween is over and The Day of the Dead is behind us that’s no reason to give up your dreams of a zombie wedding. If you love zombies and The Walking Dead then a zombie wedding could be just the thing for all the restless souls on your list.

The Date
Even though October is by far the most popular month for zombie weddings, especially as Halloween draws near, you can plan your wedding for any time of year. Spring would be a great choice with all the new growth and blooms on the vine; it would provide a great contrast and backdrop for a zombie-themed wedding. Or you might consider having your wedding on your favorite zombie character’s birthday.

The Location
If you want an inexpensive wedding consider your backyard or a park nearby. For an even creepier and more memorable atmosphere try holding your ceremony or reception in a haunted hotel, cemetery or funeral home. If you would like something more contemporary consider an underground rave club or an empty corn field or thicket decorated to suit your zombie desires

The Invitations
Invitations, they come in so many different forms, but which one is right for you and your wedding party? Only you will know. Many party stores and online retailers offer zombie-themed invitations and stationery. Do you want them glamorous? Then you could opt for black paper with iridescent red ink splattered on them. Ripping and slightly burning your invitations can give that gravely feel. Also sealing each one with a blood red wax stamp would give them that added ‘touch.’

The Decorations
You can go all out or make it simple it’s all up to you. It’s your day after all. Make it what you want. There are so many ideas to choose from. “Just Buried” signs, cobwebs, piles of rubble, coffin-shaped tables and a fog machine for added atmosphere are just a few of the many inexpensive yet fun ideas for your zombie wedding and/or reception.

The Music
To create the mood and make the atmosphere just right, you need the right music. Of course, what zombie wedding would be complete without Michael Jackson’s “Thriller?” To round out your selections consider Bach’s “Toccata in Fuge”, Johannes Brahms “Hungarian Dance No. 5”, or other horror music (both fun and scary) for the dancing fun.

So, if you’re planning on getting married or just want to throw a zombie-themed wedding party, let these ideas help get you started. Who said Halloween has to be the only time to have some monstrous fun?
