Alright, so Halloween is on its way (Friday, October 31, 2008 to be exact), you want to have the best Halloween party imaginable, and you’re broke as heck. It happens. Not all of us can afford those fancy Halloween robotic zombies, actors resembling horror film characters, trap doors, mazes, and crazy special effects.
But it’s ok! There is plenty you can do to throw a Halloween party on a budget if you put your mind to it! We will provide you with the best tips for throwing Hallowing Parties on a budget.

- Alcohol. No party is completely without plenty and plenty of alcohol. Check those little coupon advertisements the grocery stores send out. They usually have a sale on Halloween booze, especially as we get closer to the big goolish holiday.
- Halloween decorations and Trinckets. A great place to find good deals is wholesale places, such as Costco and Sam’s Club. Now, these places require a membership to shop, but ask your friends and family, as someone is bound to be a member. These are great places for buying in bulk (which you need to do if you want to have a real party!).
- Halloween Music. Because it’s Halloween, a lot of people find it necessary to play one of those “Halloween Sounds” CD’s… mmmmmm, not sure if that’s the best idea. First of all, no one can dance to scary sounds. It just makes the entire party situation bland and uncomfortable. So pull out some Michael Jackson and dance the night away with Thriller! What ever you decide to go with make sure you play it loud!
- Themes. Try to keep it simple but effective. A crazy haunted house theme would be a little too much for a party. People will be dancing, falling over, and throwing up on your fake monsters. No one wants to deal with that, and on top of everything else, it’s EXPENSIVE!
- Setting. A few black lights scattered around the area people will be in, mixed with a strobe light or two, should about do it. Keep everyone in costume, including yourself, kill all the normal boring bright lights, crank the music up, and let the alcohol flow. This will make the party memorable and fun, and you will still be able to keep some cash in your pocket.
- People. Last but not least, you need people. I mean, how do you expect to throw a huge Halloween party without people? So, start of by simply telling everyone about it. Tell friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, the cute cashier at the grocery store, and the homeless guy down the street. Tell everyone! You can send Halloween Invites by sending them free Halloween Ecards. Email these Ecards to everyone in your address book, and even post bulletins on Myspace! God knows I’ve done it a million times. You can even do Naughty Halloween Ecards too! It won’t cost you a dime.
Of course, when everyone shows up, don’t forget to charge $5-$10 at the door. This will make you back everything you’ve spent (if not more), allow you to have an great Halloween party, and help pay for some aspirin when you wake up in the morning.
