Send each guest their own Halloween invitation by private link: costumes requested on the RSVP, head count tracked, nothing left to chance but the fright.
The best Halloween parties only look effortless. Behind the fog machine there's a head count, a costume plan and a candy budget, and HeyVite handles the bookkeeping. Send each guest a dark, delicious invitation by private link, ask what they're coming as right on the RSVP, and watch the guest list fill while you carve the pumpkins.
Everything a halloween party needs, from the first invitation to the final head count.
Add a custom question ("What are you coming as?"), and every answer lands beside the guest's name. You'll know if three people are coming as the same vampire, seed the costume-contest bracket early, and never spoil a single reveal.
Cauldron punch, themed snacks, prize bags: it all needs a number. Guests reply in a tap and your dashboard totals attendance and plus-ones in real time, so you buy for the crowd that's actually coming.
A pumpkin-painting afternoon and an adults-after-dark party need different invitations, and HeyVite writes both. Say plainly which one yours is ("little monsters welcome" or "adults only after 8"), and guests arrive dressed for the right party.
October fills with school parades, trunk-or-treats and rival parties, and replies slip. Send a warm reminder in one click to everyone who hasn't answered, and only to them, so your numbers firm up before the fake cobwebs go on.
Halloween favorites raid the dark end of the catalogue: spooky artwork with cobwebs, bats and jack-o'-lanterns, neon and retro-arcade nights, and after-dark looks that read midnight before you've typed a single detail.
With HeyVite, each guest opens an invitation of their own, addressed to them alone. Who said yes, who sent regrets, who else is invited: only you, the host, hold the full picture.

Three to four weeks before the party, early October for a Halloween-weekend date. Costumes take time to plan, and late October calendars carry school events, trunk-or-treats and competing parties. For a big bash, or one on Halloween night itself, lean toward the four-week end.
Say it on the invitation, plainly and with the stakes: "Costumes required, prizes involved" leaves no room for a jeans-and-a-headband arrival. Then add a custom RSVP question asking what each guest is coming as; answers land beside their names, and the contest practically runs itself.
Whichever you choose, say so on the invitation. Halloween is the one holiday where guests genuinely can't guess. "Little monsters welcome" and "adults only after dark" set completely different evenings. If you want both, split the day: a family afternoon, then a grown-up party after bedtime.
Yes. Each guest opens their own private link and replies in a tap: no app, no account, no password. Their answer, plus-ones and costume plans appear on your dashboard immediately, and they can update the reply if their October changes.
Yes. Every guest gets a private invitation of their own, and Guest Privacy (included on every plan, free ones too) means no public list and no name search by default; name search stays off unless you open the event yourself. Handy when the list mixes school families, neighbors and coworkers who don't need to browse each other.
Yes. Every design and every tool is free on every plan: the free plan covers up to 75 guests, and paid plans only raise that cap ($15 for up to 150 guests, $45 for up to 300 and $110 for up to 900), each a single payment for a single event. No subscription, nothing recurring.
