15 Affordable Halloween Party Ideas

October 21, 2020 by DIY Idea Center Leave a Comment

Halloween is such a great time of year (and that’s not just because it’s in the same month as my birthday). It’s the one time of year when everyone gets to be an actor, putting on costumes and becoming someone else! Now, trick-or-treating is great and all (if you’re five), but I like to celebrate with a Halloween party. When I through a party, I go all out. Example: I threw a dinner party for some college friends with three courses, a table cloth, fancy tableware, and I made them all dress up. It was a good time. However, going full-out for a Halloween party can get expensive between the costume, decorations, and food. So here’s my favorite projects for throwing an amazing party that won’t break the budget! From homemade Halloween costumes to the best Halloween party food ideas, you’ll find all the DIY projects you need to costume, food, and decor right here.
