8 Freakishly Awesome Halloween Wedding Invitations
Halloween happens to be one of my favorite times of the year. Pumpkins, ghosts, gouls, and a high scary factor all play into making this annual Fall event a real treat for kids and grownups alike!
When done right, a Halloween wedding can be dark, entrancing, elegant, and super romantic. A few elements you can consider incorporating into your vision include:
- Dark color palette
- Textured rich fabrics
- A moody atmosphere
- Black lace accents
- Caramel apples
- Pumpkin decor
- Trick or treat favors
- …and candles galore!
Hosting a wedding celebration at Halloween time is a unique affair. Grandma might need more convincing, but I sure don’t! Now let’s get to the spooky Halloween wedding stationery goodness below.
Halloween Wedding Invite Ideas
Halloween weddings are not the most conventional of themes. You may have to search a little harder to set the right tone, especially when it comes to wedding stationery as Halloween themed invites can be difficult to find. In fact, our go-to online stationer that we normally suggest (Minted), came up completely short with regards to Halloween wedding invites.
Halloween party invites on the other hand are a completely different story.
If you are stumped with where to start looking, try online shops like PurpleTrail, Zazzle, Etsy and Invitation Consultants.
From the looks of the online Halloween wedding invites we browsed, the design style spectrum ranges from boo-tiful, dark and elegant to throwing a cheesy spooktacular event.
Depending on the soiree you envision, finding something to fit the vision is totally possible. We decided to pull a few of our favorites for a list of top freakishly awesome Hallowedding invite picks.
After all, ’till death do you part’ takes on a whole new meaning at Halloween time! 😉
1. Hallowedding Invite
Format: Standard
Dimensions: 5″ x 7″ Paper Size
Envelopes: Included
This Halloween wedding invitation has a little bit of a Nightmare Before Christmas feel. It would match a fun hallows-wedding bash that plans on incorporating actual Halloween decor elements like pumpkins and spider webs.
2. Gothic Invitation Suite
For a more formal option that’s equally eerie, look towards something like this Gothic invitation suite pictured above. A hand-painted dark watercolor design offers a tasteful appearance that still lends itself to the dark side. If you are leaning towards more of a moody, romantic wedding style with a Gothic feel (and less actual Halloween decor), something similar to this invite would do the trick.
Format: Standard
Dimensions: 5″ x 7” Paper Size
Envelopes: Not Included – Digital Product
3. Pumpkin Laser Cut Gatefold Invite
Format: Standard
Dimensions: 5″ x 7” Paper Size
Envelopes: Included
What can I say about this laser cut Halloween invitation suite. For some reason it brings to mind images of Cinderella — perhaps it has something to do with the big iron gate and the pumpkins! Either way, this invite lends itself to something more formal and elegant as opposed to dark and spooky. If you are planning on having an elegant fall wedding in a more formal space with the beautiful addition of pumpkin decor accents, this invitation could be a beautiful option.
P.S. You can choose between 26 invite paper colors.
Check out this elegant fall wedding featured on our wedding blog, which may suit this Halloween stationery suite quite nicely.
4. Black Rose Invitation Suite
Format: Standard
Dimensions: 5″ x 7” Paper Size
From the outset it appears to be a formal wedding invitation with beautiful design details and a little bit of darkness to it. However, look a little closer and you will see that this formal wedding invite in disguise is for a Hallowedding!
Fitting for an elegant Halloween wedding, don’t you think?
5. Til Death Do us Part Halloween Wedding Invite
by WowWowMeow
Format: PDF Printable
Dimensions: 3.3″ x 7” Size
Make Tim Burton proud with this Til Death Do Us Part Halloween wedding invite. A whimsical ticket format and eccentric style fits perfectly into a Halloween wedding. Incorporate black and orange touches, skulls, pumpkins and some goolish favors.

This black and white striped real wedding we featured on the blog comes to mind for this invite.
7. Day of the Dead Wedding Invitation
Format: Standard
Dimensions: 5″ x 7” Paper Size
Envelopes: Included
No Halloween invite round up would be complete without a “Dia de los Muertos” (Day of the Dead) themed invite. Although technically it lands on November 2nd (two days after Halloween), Day of the Dead is still a fun theme that seems to pop up from time to time. Think bright pops of color, sugar skull, masks, and a big celebration.

8. Skeletons
by Katie Zimpel
Format: Standard
Dimensions: 5″ x 7″ Paper Size
Envelopes: Included
Another nod to a Day of the Dead style invitation, this wedding invitation is morbidly playful and includes your pets. The message of Until death do us part may not be to everyone’s taste.
