How to Host an EPIC Halloween Party on a Budget
Dress the part! I think the most important part of a Halloween Party is the costumes, but awesome costumes on a budget can be tricky. Check out 50 DIY Costumes and Sugar Skull Makeup Ideas for some inspiration, then come back and read about the cheap Halloween party foods we’ll be serving this year!
Cheap Halloween Party Foods
Mummy Pizzas – Use an English Muffin or a slice of bread. Add sauce and toast, then add cheese and black olives.
Slimy Hands: Green Jell-O poured into vinyl gloves. Chill until set. Peel off gloves and lay on tray.
Frankenstein Rice Krispies – store-bought or homemade Rice Krispies + green melting chocolate & black icing
Floating Eyeballs (frozen grapes floating in punch)
Slimy JellO and Worms
It’s so simple to make box mix cupcakes and dress them up a bit like the Cake Doctor does. Add toppers that you get from the dollar store or Oriental Trading, and they look fancy. :)
Hot Dog or Carrot Fingers
If your party is after Halloween, some of your recipes could use leftover Halloween candy.
Don’t forget the drinks!
