Pick a Theme
Halloween is obviously the overarching theme, but what kind of tricks are you trying to treat your guests to? Are you going for more of a candy-corn-colored playful party, or a dark, haunted mansion vibe? Use Adobe Spark’s premade designs to help you fine tune your ideas and develop your venue into one otherworldly experience.

Don’t Break the Bank
You don’t need to spend a lot of money to make things look dreary and desolate, in fact, you can do quite the opposite! Use Adobe Spark for all your creative paper and display needs, free of charge. Then, think outside the box with some of your other décor ideas. Construction paper, old bed sheets, and candles are some household items that can transform any standard space into a sinister one. If you need to buy decorations, hold on to them for your future parties! If they collect dust overtime, they’ll look all the more perfect for the occasion.
