Come in boo. Costumes very much on.

Asks the right questions.

Children, grown-ups and costume plans, in one reply. The invite asks for a name and one tap.

A name and one tap

Coming or can’t make it. No app, no account, no long form.

A note, just for you

Guests can leave a note only Ngozi sees. Other guests see a count, never who.

A nudge for the stragglers

One tap writes a friendly reminder for everyone still to reply.

Spooky, not scary.

Bats and a dripping edge, a crooked haunted house with eyes at its windows, or friendly ghosts riding a train, with Black Cat and Pumpkin Patch in the gallery too. Change the details; the replies come built in.

An invite that never hits the bin.

  • No paper.No cards, no envelopes, no reprint when the time changes.
  • No postage.No stamps, no trip to the post box, no lost-in-the-post.
  • No printing.Nothing to print at home, no ink, no wasted test sheets.
  • No waste.Nothing left over for the recycling afterwards.

Sending a link still uses a little electricity, like any message, so we won’t call it carbon-free.

Three steps, then you’re done.

  1. Talk it through

    Say who it’s for, when and where, or type it. The invite fills in as you go.

  2. Share one link

    Send it to the family chat, the work group, or by text or email.

  3. Watch the list fill up

    Who’s coming, who can’t, and any notes for you, in one place.

Good questions

What hosts ask before the link goes round.

Can I ask how many children are coming?

Yes. Guests say how many children they’re bringing and whether a grown-up is staying.

Can I add a dress code?

Yes. “Costumes on” or anything you like shows under the details.

Who sees the replies?

Only you see names and notes. Guests see how many are coming, never who.

Do guests need an app or an account?

No. They open the link, type their name and tap Coming or Can’t make it.

Is it free?

Yes. Sending the invite and collecting replies is free.

Let the little monsters in.

Make the invite tonight and know how many sweets to buy.
