How To Plan Your Halloween Party On a Budget

Potlucks are GREAT for saving money at parties.
If you are on a very strict budget this year and are trying very hard to stick to it, but you still want to throw an awesome party, you can do it. You'll just need to change things up a bit and be a little more selective on where you spend money. When it comes to food, throwing a potluck is a good way to do that.

DIY or Do It Yourself when it comes to your decorations.
There are so many tutorials on free printable templates out there that can help you design the BEST decorations for the perfect Halloween party without having to spend a bunch of money doing so. Here are a few examples of DIY Halloween decorations:

Fake tombstones in your yard made from cardboard and paint
Bats hanging from your front porch made from black cardstock paper and fishing line
Witches legs next to your house made from paper town rolls, paints, and shoes (appearing as if your house fell on a witch like in The Wizard of Oz)

Dollar stores are your best friend.
When it comes to gathering supplies for DIY Halloween decorations when you're on a budget, go to your local dollar store. You can find all sorts of great supplies there, such as battery-operated tea candles to go inside of pumpkins, fake fall-themed garland, and flowers, and Halloween candy for example.
