Originally, Halloween invitations, and, well, invitations for any type of event were handwritten and were a simple ‘please come to our event’, with a date and time. Invitations have come such a long way that we now have invitations to not only invite friends and family, but they can be a source of entertainment all on their own.
The more creative you are with your Halloween invitations, the more fun your friends and family will have and the more likely they will want to come to your party. Some great ideas for your Halloween invitations are:
Riddles on Your Halloween Invitations:
Don’t only put the information that someone may need to go to your party, but start the party early. Add a clever Halloween riddle to your Halloween invitations and if your guests show up to the party with the correct answer, they get a prize of some sort or even entered into a raffle. This will get your party goers thinking before the party even starts, plus they will definitely come to your party just so they can find out the answer. How did the bat learn to fly? ‘He took batting lessons’, or it could be a little more difficult, such as:
‘Can you solve this riddle’? Each line contains a clue to the letter that comes next in the word. (Hint: It’s the name of a creature).
My first letter is in spell, but never in book,
My second letter is in fright and also in shook,
My third letter is in cauldron, but never in pot,
My fourth letter is in net and also in knot,
My fifth letter is in bat, but never in vampire,
My sixth letter is in coal, but not found in fire
My seventh letter is in moon, but not in night,
Complete I will give you a spooky fright!
Answer: Phantom
Clues to a Hidden Party on your Halloween Invitations:
You can take the riddles a little further or just give simple clues that people have to figure out to actually find the party. Again, it starts the party early and gets the fun going early as well.
Halloween Invitations that Include a Scavenger Hunt:
Everyone, no matter what age, loves a scavenger hunt. Having Halloween invitations that include a scavenger hunt on it will get people up and motivated and ready for you Halloween party. To make the scavenger hunt even more fun make people dress up for the scavenger hunt and when teams show up to your Halloween party with all the items again provide a small prize a entry into a larger prize.
