Halloween Party
So you’ve decided to host a Halloween party.
Fear not if your wallet is feeling a little light, we’ve got some handy tips to help you throw the ultimate Halloween party on a budget.
Search for last year’s goodies
There’s probably a skeleton hiding in your closet somewhere. You might just have to dig a little deeper in order to find it. Who knows what sort of spooky decor you might dig up? If you’ve got decorations from the previous Halloween, don’t be afraid to use them again! You might even be able to spruce them up or update them so they’re good as new!
Get people to bring food
You could also ask your guests to each bring an item of food each to keep costs down. Maybe have a baking competition or get friends to bring some savoury snacks. Or better still, if you want to avoid having to cook a proper meal, choose your party time wisely (preferably after dinner) so you only need to provide nibbles.
Pick a simple colour scheme
Try and stick to two or three colours. Don’t go mad with multicolour decor, or you will end up having to buy more stuff. The standard black and orange works well, or even purple and orange – or if you’re feeling particularly devilish, why not try red and black?
Free spooky ambience
You don’t have to call in an entertainer or actor to create a spooky atmosphere. All it takes is putting a scary movie on in the background, or putting together a scary music playlist on a music app like Spotify.
