What Should a Halloween Birthday Party Invitation Say?
Now it’s time to decide what to write on your invite. These are the musts for your big bash:
- Time: Decide if you want an open house style where people can drop by during a longer period of time or if you want to stick to 2-3 hours where everyone’s there from start to finish.Â
- Place: Add the address, and make it clear if they need any special instructions to find the location, like “Look for the ghost balloons,” or “Don’t ding dong ditch, but ring for Apartment C upon arrival.”Â
- RSVP: Give a deadline and clear instructions. With a digital invitation from Greenvelope, guests can RSVP within the invite in just a few clicks.
- Dress code: For a Halloween birthday invitation, the dress code is especially important. People will default to wearing a Halloween costume, but make it clear if it’s a costume party or not with a line like, “Let’s see your best costume!” or “Wear whatever you’d like, no costumes!”
- Provided food: Indicate if food and drinks are on the table (literally) so guests can plan their appetites accordingly. You can say things like, “Dinner and drinks provided,” “Light refreshments will be served,” “Come hungry,” or “BYOB” to make it clear. We’ve got a guide on Halloween party food if you want some help!
