Planning a Halloween Party on a Budget
Planning a Halloween party on a budget can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be. You can snatch up quite a few cool things on a skeleton budget. The best advice is to use things you have around the house, old white bed sheets make the best ghosts. While decorations from years past, can be a great addition to a few new buys. When it comes to games, use what you have on hand or play the ole’ classic game of bobbing for apples. Grab your friends, apples, and a large bucket of water. Get a few fun prizes from the bargain bin, a few sweet treats and there you have it. When it comes to serving food, have a potluck, ask everyone to bring their favorite dish. And remember, a good time doesn’t have to be expensive, good food with friends is always priceless.

Activities: Hosting a Halloween Party
The jack-o-lantern is a classic children’s Halloween activity for a reason: it’s a super fun, seasonal, and inexpensive way to decorate. Traditionally, pumpkins are carved, and a light or candle is added to bring a Halloween glow. However, we find it’s much easier, and far less messy, to color or paint your jack-o-lantern. It just takes a few inexpensive paints or markers to draw the face of your pumpkin, for some extra fun, try adding a hat if you like. for more simple and fun activities, check out our Tik Tok channel.
