Halloween parties are a lot of fun, but they can also be extremely expensive. The more people you invite, the more food you have to provide, and decorations, entertainment, and costumes are also a part of the party atmosphere. Don't worry-you can have a great party even on a tight budget. Here are six steps to saving money when you planning a Halloween party.

1. Take potluck. Ask your guests to bring food instead of providing the snacks yourself. But remember to tell them if you're making the main course or the dessert. Or don't have a meal. Ask everyone to bring finger foods if your party's in the evening. If you do want a meal, go with something quick and easy like sandwiches or cold-cuts.

2. Don't spend a fortune on a costume. You'll have lots of other expenses. Rather than buying a costly costume, make your own home-made version. A pair of overalls and a shirt can become a farmer's costume or a bed sheet can be a great start as a toga or a ghost. Rake through your closet and become inspired.

3. Plan ahead - way ahead. If you host a Halloween party every year, purchase party supplies in November when they go on sale. Of course, you'll have to purchase candy and other food items fresh, but decorations and costumes can be found 70% off of more starting on November 1st. Check out party supply stores, but don't forget to look for deals at department and discount stores as well.

4. Make your money go further. Pumpkins can be painted by kids at the party and the insides can be baked into pies the following day. Keep decorations, lights, fake spiders, and other stuff for using again next year.

5. Keep it small. Invite only your close friends to your party. Or make it adults only. Don't invite the whole neighborhood. Keep the invite list small. Everyone knows planning a large party is hard work and expensive. They'll understand if they're not invited.

6. Buy in bulk. When you can, buy items in bulk-especially candy. You can find great deals if you buy larger sized bags, and whatever candy you don't use you can stick in the freezer to use throughout the year.

Enjoy yourself. If you're worried about money go to someone else's party. Or if you do have your own party, follow the tips above to save some money.
