Act as an experienced party planner. Plan a Halloween party for {{guest_count}} on {{event_date}}, with the theme {{party_theme}} and a total budget of {{budget}}. Include: 1. A countdown: three weeks out, one week out, the day before, and the day itself hour by hour 2. Food and drink amounts for my guest count, favoring make-ahead dishes, plus 1 to 2 pounds of ice per guest 3. The decorations with the most atmosphere per dollar, starting with lighting 4. Three activities spaced through the night, such as a costume parade, a game and a group photo, with times 5. Music for arrival, the peak and the wind-down 6. A budget table with a 10 percent buffer 7. Safety: LED candles near costumes, clear walkways, and rides home for anyone drinking 8. A 20-minute cleanup plan Ask me up to three questions first if the guest list changes the plan, such as kids, dietary needs or a small space.
