What Every Halloween Invitation Must Include

A gorgeous invitation that forgets the start time is just festive stationery. Whatever wording you choose above, make sure these essentials survive the edit: the host’s name, the date, the start and end time, the full address with parking hints, whether costumes are required or merely encouraged, what food and drink situation guests should expect, and one clear RSVP method with a name and number attached. For kids’ parties, add pickup time and whether parents stay or drop off — answering those two questions in the invite will save you eleven text messages later.

One more professional touch: send invitations two to three weeks out for adults, and follow up once, cheerfully, a few days before. And once the party is legendary, keep the seasonal chain rolling — our Thanksgiving wishes and Christmas wishes collections will carry your hosting reputation through the rest of the year, and our Halloween card messages are perfect for the thank-you notes afterward.
