6 Creative Halloween Party Invitations Easy to Craft

1. Halloween Card Idea with Skull

Death finally delivers some good news! The Grim Reaper is a classic Halloween motif and fits Halloween parties without a specific theme.

However, designing the first invitation card takes some time. Once you have painted the motif, you can simply scan it and print it out in any number. Here you will learn how exactly to craft the Halloween invitation card with skull. You can also find the skull template there!

2. Halloween Party Invitation with Sweet Surprise

Admittedly, this pumpkin you recognize only at second glance as a Halloween party invitation. The main part consists of a pumpkin folding card that holds two surprises. Inside it, candy (or a surprise matching the party theme) is waiting to be discovered. The invitation text, however, is the second surprise rolled up as a cigarette in his devilish grinning grimace.

The detailed instructions for tinkering with the pumpkin card you can find here.

3. Halloween Card Idea with Enchanted Witch

For a Witch Party (or is the hostess perhaps a witch?) a witch must be the motif on the Halloween party invitation. True to style, she rides on a broom as a black silhouette in front of a pale yellow shining full moon.

This invitation card looks really sophisticated, but is easy to craft – even for kids.

Here are the 3-step instructions for crafting a witch card. Includes witch template to print out!

4. Halloween Party Invitation Glowing at Dark

When the witching hour strikes at midnight on Halloween, the gates to the realm of the dead open and ghosts roam! On this map, two meet at a bare tree shrouded in an unearthly glow. And also many a beast of the darkness gives itself a rendezvous here….

This really child’s play tutorial for this spooky card can be found here!

5. Halloween Card Idea Invitation with Witch Cauldron

Fly leg, pumpkin vomit, word salad – what else goes into a party witch cauldron? We think the witch’s cauldron is a beautiful symbol for a bubbling, hellishly bewitched Halloween party – whether for the witch party theme or without a specific theme.
For this Halloween party invitation, you’ll need a printer, some cardstock, Halloween craft supplies, and a 3D sticker. You can get all of this at your local craft store or on amazon.

The complete instructions for the Halloween card with witch’s cauldron can be found here, including a template for the witch’s cauldron to print out.

6. Halloween Party Invitation with Bat

They have cute faces and unusually shaped wings – bats are among the most beautiful creatures of the night. As a messenger of the vampiric host, a bat on this card delivers the invitation. It is supported by 2 plastic flies in its wake, after all the hosts of Luzifer! Who dares to turn down this invitation?
