Halloween 2022: The Martin’s Vampire Ball

My favorite holiday is here, and last night we celebrated with a Vampire’s Ball of spooky proportions— sweet treats, yummy drinks, and lots of laughs made for a night full of Halloween fun, all for under ~$200, and here’s what we served and how we decorated:

Halloween party for 20 for under $200

First, I like to buy a few bottles of cheaper champagne to mix with a bit of grenadine to make “bloody mimosas”— that made the drinks under $50 for the entire party, including the gummy, fizzy eyeballs found at Target for just $5 a pack.

Next, serving pizzas you make at home plus chips, dip, and other more simple (but classic) fare saves a TON of money. And, using simple bat and Halloween decor from Amazon wraps the entire bill up for under $200.

We also make our own games (I write out a list of “horror movie charades”) and create our own Spotify playlist for dancing— and viola! That’s all there is too it.

You don’t have to blow the budget to go over the top and throw a super fun, on-theme Halloween bash. See the gallery for our photos, and happy Halloween to all!
