What does the backdrop to your invitations look like, and does your Halloween party have a specific theme?
Halloween is coming up soon! How eerie is that? Before you can carve up pumpkins or bake a pecan pie for your next party, you’ll need to make some haunting invitations. Make yours stand out this spooky holiday. ‘Tis the season to be scary – scary good that is – after all! We’ve got some great ideas for letting everyone know about your annual monster mash!
Play Around with Those Boring Fonts
The same old mundane fonts take the appeal out of your invitations. What makes them any different from the invitations you’d make for other occasions throughout the year? Seasonal-style fonts will make the boldest difference. You can even experiment with mixing fonts and pairing them up to create unique combinations. Special effects such as drop shadow and curved text are even more striking.
Swap Out Those Bloodless Backgrounds
What does the backdrop to your invitations look like, and does your Halloween party have a specific theme? Changing the background color helps you imbue your printed invitations with some more personality. Standard colors and gradients alike can make for a magical mix. It’s also a good idea to attempt some coloring matching. Coordination could outdo contrast, in this particular case!
Ghoulish and Ghostly Graphics Are Good
Hey! Don’t forget about the graphics. Depending on the templates you use, they could generate multiple iconic graphics. We usually associate ghosts, witches, vampires, skeletons, and black cats with this time of year. At least, in the scary monster department. With the right graphics, you can make your Halloween party invitations even more memorable. Why rely on Facebook or an email chain?
Pick Some Petrifying Images
Another suggestion is to import your very own themed images. That way, the “stock” images and items you use won’t be so…ordinary. Every template software has a different set of controls. But you should be able to spot the “Replace” function somewhere in the tools panel. By using this, you can quickly grab pictures that you have taken and upload them as needed. If the party is a reunion with old friends you haven’t seen since before the pandemic, maybe you could reuse pictures from the Before Times!
Bonus Tip: Delivering Your Halloween Party Invites
Even in today’s social media-driven world, getting letters in the mail is still super exciting. Why not assemble some creepy care packages? Beyond sending your out-of-town or out-of-state friends and loved ones some candy they’ll enjoy, you can include the actual invite as well! Even if they can’t physically make it, they’ll appreciate that you thought of them. Plus, they’ll be there in spirit. Muahahaha!
