Halloween is one of those holidays that sneaks up on you. The costume still needs to be bought or made, the party needs enough food, and somehow the candy runs out by the second hour of trick-or-treating.
I built a planner and a set of stickers for exactly that stretch of October. Here is what is in them, and how they work together.
The Halloween & Party Planner
The Halloween & Party Planner starts at $59 and handles the unromantic math behind the fun.
- Food, ice and drink: how much a party actually needs per guest.
- Floor space: how much room per person before a party stops being fun.
- Candy: what a trick-or-treat night costs.
- Costume plan: columns for what has to be bought, what is being made, and what it cost.
- Party budget: estimate and actual kept separate.
- Countdown: four weeks out, down to the day itself.
It is also a full dated planner, so the rest of your life fits in the same book. You choose 3, 6, 12 or 18 months and the month it starts, softcover or hardcover (both wire-bound) or a custom-designed cover, Sunday or Monday weeks, and your wire color. Each planner is printed after you order it, and production takes up to 7 business days before it ships.
Six Halloween sticker sheets
The stickers are for the planner pages, and for anything else that needs a little spooky. There are six sheets, each $9.99. Every sheet is 5.83 x 8.27 inches, permanent vinyl, kiss-cut, and printed to order in the USA. Buy any three and 10% comes off automatically.

|---|---|
| Halloween Classics | 51 stickers, 34 unique: jack-o'-lantern, ghost, black cat, bat, witch hat, cauldron, potion bottle, skull, tombstone, haunted house, mummy, werewolf, owl, crow, spider, and a big BOO |
| Halloween Treats | 39 stickers, 35 unique: lollipops, gummy bears, jelly beans, caramel chews, chocolate skulls, truffles, pumpkin cookies, cake pops, cotton candy, milkshakes, sundaes |
| Halloween Phrases and Images | 35 stickers, 35 unique: phrase banners reading TRICK OR TREAT, SPOOKY SEASON, BOO CREW, WITCH PLEASE and EAT DRINK AND BE SCARY, plus a few motifs: witch broom, crystal ball, spell book, fangs and fairy wand |

Planning a party? Treats goes with the planner's candy budget, and the phrase banners on Phrases and Images are good for marking party day.
