Halloween Party Invitation Wording Ideas

You plan on decorating your home with fake spider webs and bats; you’ve stocked up on face makeup and blood; you’ve planned your music, food, and scary tricks. There is only one thing left to think about for your Halloween party, besides Halloween treats - the invitations.

Making your own is an excellent idea, and your guests will certainly notice and appreciate the effort. Spiders, black cats, witches, jack o’ lanterns…there is no end to what you can put on your cards. But what should you put inside? Here are some Halloween party invitation wording ideas to get you in the spirit.

Wording for Halloween invitations is decidedly corny and terrifically fun. It is one occasion when you can indulge the child in you – or the vampire in you or the witch in you... Of course, you can simply mention Halloween cookies and most people will be thrilled to attend.

This one is for adult parties and is trendy considering today’s fascination with vampires: “I vant you to come to my party. Join us in the village for Bloody Marys and sweet treats on Halloween night.”

Another example: “I see a party in your future. It’s written in the stars. _________ is having a mystical All Hallow’s Eve gathering. Consider yourself summoned!”

This one, like the last, takes traditional Halloween themes (blood-sucking vampires and mystical witches) and incorporates wonderfully clichéd sayings.

It’s Halloween – it’s allowed, and it’s all in fun.

You can also go for the old favorites: “Don’t be a scaredy cat,” written on the cover, with “Come to our party,” on the inside. Or “You are invited to my haunted house for a howling good time.” Or a hair-raising time. Or a spooktacular time. Be creative with your wording. Here are some other ideas to get you in the mood:

• Warning! Refusal to come to our spooktacular Halloween party will result in loss of fun for everyone.
• Food and drink and witches’ brew. The only thing we still need is you.
• Come out, come out, wherever you are.
• Be here by eight and meet your fate. Bring your scariest food concoction and your tastiest date.
• Vampires, witches, ghouls, and ghosts. This is one Halloween party you will die for.
• The moon is full, the wind is chill…This Halloween will be quite a thrill! A howling time awaits you this eve…but beware for you may not want to leave. Join us for some spooky shenanigans.

When making your own Halloween invitations, make sure the wording suits you. If you are just not a “spooky shenanigans” type of person, that’s fine. You can tell your guests that you and the Count are revamping your castle and need some new blood to help. Or you could simply write, “You are invited to a Halloween party.”

But if you do want to have a little fun, you can look online and find a host of different wording ideas. If you need to, play with the wording a bit so it is more “you.”

A lot of people are hesitant to write their own invitation or greeting card messages because they feel like they are not creative enough.

You are creative enough; you just have to put aside your worry and get into the spirit of the holiday.

Don’t be afraid, just this once, to use the word “spooktacular.”
