Creative Halloween Badge Ideas for Events, Parties & Fundraisers

Halloween is almost here, and it’s one of the most creative times of the year, and it’s not just about the costumes and lollies. Custom badges can add a playful, spooky, or even fundraising twist to your celebrations. 

Whether you’re hosting a party, planning a community event, or running a school fundraiser, Halloween badges are a simple, affordable way to spread the spirit and keep your event memorable long after the day has passed.

Why Halloween Badges Are a Fun Addition to Any Celebration

Custom badges have always been a versatile accessory, and during Halloween they truly come into their own. Think of them as the finishing touch to a costume, a party favour guests actually want to keep, or a keepsake that marks a great night out. 

Unlike the treats or drinks (for those adult Halloweeners) that disappear, Halloween event badges stick around. They can be pinned on bags, jackets, displayed on a pin board at home, or secured to a fridge if you got a Halloween magnet badge - and they all serve as a lasting reminder of your spooky celebration.

For event organisers, Halloween badges are also a practical option for marking the occasion, helping attendees identify one another, or as a memorable keepsake once the night is over. They’re affordable to order in bulk, customisable in just a few clicks with the Make Badges online Design Studio, and available in multiple sizes (from 25mm up to a bold 75mm). 

Because they’re printed locally right here in Australia, you can count on a fast turnaround that takes the stress out of last-minute party planning.

Spooky Badge Design Ideas for Parties & Community Events

When it comes to Halloween badge ideas, the only limit is truly your imagination. For parties, consider thematic designs that capture the essence of the event: think classics like pumpkins, witches, ghosts, or even cheeky slogans like “Trick or Treat Yourself.” If you’re throwing a kids’ party, colourful badges can double as costume prizes or party bag fillers.

Community events can get creative, too. For example, picture a haunted house team badge for volunteers, glow-in-the-dark designs for trick-or-treat trails, or badges featuring local mascots in spooky costumes. 

For pubs or bars running Halloween specials or events, limited-edition Halloween badges featuring the venue logo alongside seasonal artwork make for a collectible that patrons will love. Not only that, but such badges can be utilised as an easy way to identify patrons who are actively taking part in a paid Halloween event. This makes it a breeze for staff to know which patrons qualify for any included drinks or snacks as part of the event.

Our Design Studio makes the badge-designing process easy and accessible. We also have templates that can be used with Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop for those who prefer to refine their designs on their own time. And if you need any assistance with making a Halloween design come together, you can also reach out to us for assistance. We’ll help however we can.

Using Badges for Fundraisers, Schools & Halloween Promotions

Halloween is a great time of year for school fundraising and other charitable endeavours, and badges can be a brilliant donation incentive. Schools, sporting clubs, and community groups can sell Halloween event badges at fetes, movie nights, or themed dress-up days. Because they’re affordable to produce and easy to distribute, the profit margin can be significant while keeping prices accessible for families.

For businesses, Halloween badges naturally double as promotional tools. Cafés can hand them out with themed drinks, gyms can give them away for Halloween workout events, and retailers can include them in customer orders as a fun seasonal extra. Any time someone wears your badge, they’re putting your brand in front of more eyes - long after the Halloween cobwebs are packed away.
