Super Ghoster Coasters
Super Ghoster Coasters are exactly what they sound like - ghost coasters for Halloween! If you're having a party this season, you definitely don't want people just setting their drinks down willy nilly. Things can get out of hand pretty quickly if you don't have designated spots for people to set their glasses! Avoid any hassle with these fun and decorative Halloween ghost coasters. If you wanted to get away from traditional white, you could make a few different colors so people know which one is theirs or add an accent somehow.
