Not sure where your money goes when preparing for Halloween? Here are three budget plans for different scales, so you can choose based on your needs and easily control expenses
🎃Budget 100 yuan | Easy trick-or-treat starter kit (great for simple family celebrations)
Focus: candy + a few small decorations. Spend 60 yuan on trick-or-treat candy, 30 yuan on LED mini jack-o'-lanterns and 3D bat wall stickers, and 10 yuan on glow-in-the-dark stickers. Skip large decorations and use low-cost small items to create the atmosphere, suitable for receiving neighborhood trick-or-treaters without hosting a party
🎃Budget 300 yuan | Small home party kit (for gatherings up to 6 people)
Focus: basic decoration + simple refreshments. 120 yuan for decorations: string lights, spider webs, ghost tulle; 130 yuan for refreshments: cookies, pudding, party punch ingredients; 50 yuan for candy and disposable plates and cups. Create an entry photo corner, make no-bake Halloween sweets, skip pricey ready-made props, and use DIY to boost the atmosphere
🎃Budget 500 yuan | Full yard party kit (for about 10 people)
Focus: yard decoration + full meal + game materials. 200 yuan for major yard items: inflatable decorations and waterproof LED string lights; 200 yuan for food and drinks including cold platters and desserts; 100 yuan for candy, game props, and disposable supplies. Set up a complete photo area, prepare multiple party mini-games, and it's great for inviting friends and neighbors to celebrate together
✅Money-saving tips
Prioritize reusable LED decorations that can be used again next year; homemade refreshments are far more cost-effective than buying ready-made desserts. Large props can be bought secondhand or shared. Put most of the budget into lighting, as lighting is the easiest way to enhance the festive atmosphere
