postheadericon How to Write a Halloween Invitation

Every Halloween is party is different and the information you need to add is different, so we are going to point you in the right direction by giving you some tips on what to add:


1) Halloween Party Type. {Kid Safe, Mild Scary, Very Scary, Halloween Dance, Hayride, Corn Maze, Movie Theme, Costume Contest, Trick or Treat, Halloween Movie-Watching Marathon, etc.}

2) Date of the Halloween Party. To make the Halloween Party Invitation, be sure to use the full date. Example: Friday October 30th, 2009 or The Thirtieth Day of October, Two Thousand and Nine.

3) Time the Halloween Party Begins. If you are taking the Halloween party guest to a place or event such as a corn maze, then ask guests to arrive about 20 minutes before you plan to leave so no one will have to rush. It is also a good idea to let people know the approximate time that the party will end. This helps your guests to plan their day, evening, or pick up time.

4) Location of the Halloween Party. Even if you believe everyone knows by the name of the location where the Halloween is, it is a good idea to add a complete address, or consider printing a map and including it with the Halloween Party invitation, especially if the party is in a home in a housing subdivision or large complex where it is easy to get lost. You might know the area or visit the location often, but think of the guest who only goes there rarely. Another good idea is to add if there will be balloons or signs marking the location of the Halloween Party. When a Halloween Party is being held at home, balloons are often put on the mailbox. In the invitation, consider adding a note telling the guest to look for the balloon on the mailbox, yard sign, or other decoration you are using outside the Halloween Party location.

5) RSVP to Whom and Phone Number. The RSVP name is usually a host of the Halloween Party. It is good to note for the guest that it is OK to leave a message on voicemail or an answering machine. Asking for an RSVP helps you and other hosts plan (if applicable) for how many supplies are needed. It is good to ask people to RSVP by a set date because this will also help the host save money on buying supplies, although it is always best to have a few extra supplies in case extra people show up. Having an RSVP-by-date will help with the host who has a tight Halloween Party planning budget.
