Adult Halloween Party Invitations

From LoveToKnow Party

Send out adult Halloween party invitations for your fun Halloween party plans to the grown-ups in your life who are truly kids at heart.

Adult Halloween Party Invitation Styles

Just because you're throwing a Halloween party doesn't mean you are stuck sending out cartoonish cards or cutout shapes to your friends and family members. Instead, look for some exciting invitation cards that follow on these themes:

  • Costumed Adults: If you are hosting a costume party, invitations for adults often have costumed men and women on the front.
  • Elegant: Elegant Halloween invites may feature shiny ribbons, sparkly pumpkins, fall foliage scenes or flowers. Look for invites with scripted fonts and scroll motifs.
  • Simple: Sometimes the best invitation is a simple invitation. Plain backgrounds, black, orange or brown lettering and maybe one or two blacked-out graphics are simple but get the point across. Adults do not always need the "frills" that kids do when it comes to invitations.
  • Cocktails: Hosting an adult party often means offering up some alcoholic beverages. If this is true for your party, look for an invite that features a cocktail design with some spooky elements, like spiders or bats.
  • Scary: Skip the cutesy mummy or happy pumpkin on an adult halloween party invitation. Instead, look for ones that have haunting, barren trees, gory severed body parts, life-like gravestones or skulls and cross bones.

Choose an invitation that follows your adult Halloween party ideas. Look for costumes on an invite for a costume party or scary items on an invitation to a haunted house party. The invitation is the first glance that guests have into your party plans, so align the invite style to your party theme.

Party invitations can be purchased online at various retailers. Some even offer custom printing, or you can slide the invitation paper into your printer for a cheaper option. Send an online invitation for even more savings and less work. Just be sure your guests all check their email inbox regularly. You can also find adult Halloween invites at party supply stores.

Remember to add any pertinent information, such as whether the adults should come costumed or dressed in orange/black, to the invite before sending.

Create Your Own Adult Invite

If you enjoy card making, make your own adult Halloween party invitations to send out to guests . Follow the directions below to make your own simple invitation.

Supplies

  • Black half-fold cards, plain
  • Orange, purple or yellow cardstock
  • Silver embossing powder
  • Embossing ink
  • Heat source
  • Large decorative stamp
  • Ribbon with Halloween theme (optional)
  • Small silver charm, like a skull (optional)

Directions

  1. Use a paper cutter to make cardstock inserts for the half-fold cards. Measure them so a half-inch of black is showing when placed on the inside of the folded card.
  2. Print off invitation information using black, bold fonts onto the orange cardstock.
  3. Open the invitation so it lays flat.
  4. Dip your Halloween stamp into embossing ink and stamp onto the front center of the card.
  5. Sprinkle embossing powder over the image and lightly tap excess off.
  6. Hold image over heat source until powder melts together.
  7. Let image rest for a few minutes, then fold card.
  8. Optional: Glue ribbon onto front of card in a bow, below or above embossed image. Attach small charm to the center of the bow.
  9. Glue the orange invitation information into the inside of the invitation card.

These invitations are simple, yet elegant. If you want to add a clever saying, try using a Halloween card quotation on the front or inside of the card.

Adults Only Wording

Because Halloween is often viewed as a holiday for children, it may be necessary for you to add a small notation about the party being "adults only" in your invitation wording. Accomplish this by adding a small asterisk symbol at the bottom of the invite and write "Adults Only Party." When people RSVP, remind them that the party is just for grown-ups and that activities will not be appropriate for children under a particular age.
