Because our Halloween theme for this year is Arabian Nights (yes, we do themed halloween over here), I’ve spent the entire month turning my house into a jewel-toned palace. I purposefully hadn’t gotten any spooky decor out all month and I was having some serious traditional Halloween remorse. This was the PERFECT excuse to break out of the theme for a few days and let my love for traditional Halloween decor show. For this movie night, I wanted keep the party feeling grown-up and really go all-out with the Ghostbusters theme, menu and decorations. Make sure to read all of my tips and tricks for using your own Halloween decor items to set up an effortless and affordable Ghostbusters or Halloween themed soiree.
Decor is one of those things that if you look in the right places, shop your house and get creative, you can make almost ANYTHING look like a million bucks. Most of my decor is from the thrift store, the dollar store or I’ve been collecting it in my Halloween stash over the years. Sure shopping for new decor is always fun, but if buying all decor new freaks you out, use what you have, borrow, shop the sales after the holidays (for next year) and make what you have work! I literally had everything on-hand except for the green stemware, so this party decor cost me a whopping $4!

When setting up for a party, sometimes I’m able to solicit help from my daughter… Sometimes. But after she gets bored, I’ll have her sit quietly and enjoy some screen time while I do my thing. It comes as no surprise that I am almost ALWAYS going over on my data plan. Correction… my daughter is always using my data while watching those kid unboxing toys videos, (please tell me you know what I’m talking about!) ha! So while I was at Walmart grabbing my party supplies and Ghostbuster DVD, I started looking at the cell phones and plans they had. I ended up grabbed a LG K7 which is also on rollback at Walmart for only $49.88!! (Rollback from $89.88!) and purchased the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan with Unlimited Talk, Text, & Data which includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE. It’s perfect for watching all of those extra shows, plus it includes a free movie on VUDU every month ($7 value) per line for $49.88. With the starter kit on rollback for $19.88 (from $25), my out of pocket was really low compared to other prepaid carriers – only $19.88 to get started! They also had a special set up with a fun virtual reality Ghostbuster experience they were offering in-store as well.
You can find this phone at the Walmart Family Mobile entertainment area in-store and that they can help you activate a new line and you’ll also get the free Ghostbusters Virtual Reality Experience. Look for the brochure with details on plans and the VR experience + a plastic 3D hologram. Check out the Walmart Family Mobile Hub page to find an event in your area where you can access all of the above features and experiences!

I had a lot of fun with this party and it was great to catch all of the inside jokes and see some cast members from the original Ghostbusters movies. What are a few of your favorite ways to make a girls night unforgettable?
This is so pretty – what a great idea for a girls night!
