How to Throw a Cheap and Wonderful Halloween Party Halloween is a great time to have fun with family or friends. There are many things to do such as watching Halloween movies, play treat or trick games and so on. But having a Halloween party is one of the best ways to celebrate Halloween. You may think it will be very expensive. No worries, by learning some tips, you can throw a meaningful and impressive Halloween party while saving your budget.
1. Plan Halloween ahead. The best way to save money for everything including Halloween is to start planning early. If you leave Halloween to the last minute, you will spend much more money and feel more stressed. Generally, we recommend to plan that 1~3 months ahead or even 1 year ago. For instance, you can plan the Halloween items for next year after this Halloween. The Halloween costumes, decorations etc. are on clearance and the price will be lowest in that time, just take the best items you want for future use.
2. Look for a costume swap. Most Halloween costumes are usually used for only once especially for the costumes of kids, so we don't recommend to spend a fortune on them every year. You can ask your neighbors or friends to see if they also have some costumes swap with. Some community centers, schools and other nonprofit organizations host Halloween costume exchange parties. It is an ideal way to getting rid of your old Halloween costumes and get some used costumes you want from others.
