Families to nudge2

How do you send a Halloween party invitation online?

Post one shared link in the group chat, where guests add their names, or text each friend or family a private link for a two-tap reply. Families answer for everyone, kids included. Hejmo is free, with no ads or guest accounts.

Halloween weekend fills up fast

Halloween parties compete with each other, with trick-or-treating, and with every costume that still needs making. Invite late and your friends already said yes to someone else.

Post the shared link in the group chat, where anyone can add their name, or text each friend or family their own link. A family replies for everyone at once, kids included.

Put the time, the costume rules, and whether kids are welcome in the details. Guests see them on the invite and can add the party to their calendar from the same page.

Halloween party invitation wording

Copy one, swap in your details, and add your Hejmo link.

Costume party: Costumes required! Halloween party at [address] on Saturday, October 30 from [time]. Prizes for best costume and best couple. RSVP on the link by [date].
Kids' Halloween party: Come in costume for [name]'s Halloween party! Pumpkin decorating, a monster piñata, and trick-or-treating at [time]. Reply for your whole family by [date].
Trick-or-treat meetup: Trick-or-treat with us! Meet at [address] at [time] on October 31, then back to ours for chili and candy swapping. Tap the link to RSVP.
Grown-ups' night: Spooky cocktails and a scary movie at [address], [date] at [time]. Costumes encouraged, not required. Bring a friend; just add them on the link.

Costume contest categories

Pick three or four so more than one guest goes home with a prize.

Scariest: The classic. Let guests vote by putting a candy in a cup by each costume.
Best homemade: For the cardboard and duct tape crowd, which is usually the best part of the night.
Best couple or group: Pairs and families planning a matching costume will dress up for this one.
Most creative: For the costume nobody can guess until it's explained.

When to send a Halloween party invitation

3 to 4 weeks before: Send it in early October. Halloween 2027 is a Sunday, so the Saturday before is the night most parties pick.
About a week before: Make this the RSVP deadline, so you can buy food, candy, and prizes for the real count.
Two days before: Copy a nudge for anyone still at Maybe and send it in your own chat.

Where Halloween party RSVPs get messy

Your night overlaps three other parties: Friends say they'll “stop by,” and you can't tell if that's ten people or thirty.
Families reply in three words: “We'll come!” doesn't say whether that's two adults or two adults and four kids.
Costume rules get lost: Someone shows up in jeans because the “costumes required” part was in a message they never scrolled to.
Allergies come up at the candy bowl: A parent mentions the nut allergy once the treats are already out.

Three steps from invite to headcount

It works the way your friends already talk: by text and group chat.

Add your guests
Add each friend or family you're inviting, or skip the list and use the shared link. Set whether kids and plus-ones are welcome.
Share the link
Text it or post it in the group chat. Guests read the details, then tap Yes, No, or Maybe for everyone they're bringing, with no account or app.
Watch the count, nudge the maybes
Your dashboard shows who's coming, how many kids, and who's still a maybe. Copy a nudge and send it yourself.

Made for the host of the Halloween party

Counts with the kids in them, ready-to-send nudges, and co-hosts. No guest accounts.

A count with the kids in it: Families answer Yes, No, or Maybe for everyone in them, so you know how many goody bags to make.
The details in one place: Costume rules, the start time, and trick-or-treating plans sit on the invite, not buried in a chat.
Easy on your guests: Guests open the link in any phone browser and reply in two taps, with no account. There are no ads on the invite, free or Plus.

Ask what they're dressing as

Add an optional question guests answer with their RSVP, like their costume or any allergies before you buy candy. You read every answer beside the count.

One RSVP question is free. Families can answer or skip it.

What are you dressing as? Any allergies we should know?

Optional

A family's answer

A family of skeletons! Leo can't have peanuts.

Paste this in the group chat

The date, the costume rule, and one link to reply.

Halloween party at ours on Saturday, Oct 30! [address], from [time]. Costumes required, prizes for the best. Tap the link to RSVP for everyone you're bringing by [date], no account needed.
