Free Printable Halloween Party Checklist
Halloween is almost here — and if you’re planning a party, it’s easy to feel like there’s a lot to remember. Food, costumes, games, spooky décor… and don’t forget the candy!
To make it all easier (and way more fun), I put together a free printable Halloween Party Checklist that covers everything you need to throw a spook-tacular celebration.
Whether you’re hosting a cozy get-together with friends, a kid-friendly bash, or a big neighborhood costume party, this checklist will keep you organized and stress-free so you can actually enjoy the night.
What’s Inside the Printable
The Halloween Party Checklist is broken into four super practical sections so you can plan every detail without missing a thing:
Food & Drinks — From snacks and sandwiches to cakes, candy, and drinks (plus napkins, plates, and all the little things that can slip your mind).
Entertainment — Games, music, scavenger hunts, and scary movie picks to keep guests of all ages happy and entertained.
Decorations — Ideas like a grand spooky entrance, carved pumpkins, hidden “spooks,” and even a photo booth for capturing memories.
Miscellaneous Must-Haves — First aid kit, flashlights, emergency contacts, and those last-minute party-day details you’ll be glad you remembered.
I’ve also included a blank version so you can completely customize your list. It’s perfect if you have unique party plans or just want to make it your own.

Party Day Checklist — Use it for those last-minute items (charging your camera, putting out lights, etc.).
💡 Pro tip: I like to use the filled-in version for quick inspiration and the blank one for my final shopping and prep list.

SUPPLIES I RECOMMEND FOR PRINTING
A PRINTER
If you’re going to be printing in color, I really recommend investing in a Canon Mega Tank Printer. The quality of the finished product is amazing! If you don’t need a color printer, I highly recommend a laser printer like the Brother L23 Series. You will save hundreds on ink. You can also get a color laser printer, which I would LOVE to have!
PAPER
For everyday printables, planners, and coloring pages for the kiddos, I normally use Hammermill Printer Paper, 20 Lb. I love that you can get a small box of 3 reams instead of having to buy one at a time or a whole case of 10.
If I want something a little nicer, I use this laser paper, which is incredibly smooth and has very little to no ghosting on the other side. This is perfect if you like to use pens/markers that are prone to bleeding through to the other side.
For printing on A5 paper, I use this Blank 6-Hole Punched A5 Paper. You can also get it without the holes, but it’s $6-7 more. Which I think is odd because it’s usually the other way around, and you have to pay more for the hole punching.
