Vintage Halloween Party Invitation Verses

Do you love the look of a vintage Halloween party invitation? I enjoy the beautiful and detailed artwork on these types of invitations, greeting cards, and postcards. And I really enjoy reading all the catchy verses that were used. Below, you will find many rhymes and sayings that were included on vintage Halloween cards from the 1920's and earlier. With a few minor modifications, you can use them on your own party invitations too.

On a certain evening of the year,
We are all enveloped in awful fear.
This is the time when witches take flight,
And cats prowl round in the dead of night.
So 'bout eight o'clock we'd like you to meet,
In the first white house on Maple Street.

... The Witches

If you don't reply without delay
Bad luck will follow you to your last day.

In the name of the spooks I've come to ask,
If sheet and pillowcase and mask
You'll don on Halloween at eight,
And sally forth to meet your fate.
But remember - let none know
Where you have planned this night to go,
You'll be expected rain or shine
Where swings the jack-o-lantern sign.

A Halloween party there's going to be,
And we want you there as sure as can be;
There'll be joy and laughter by the ton
Please say you will come and join the fun!

Spirits! Assemble at the stroke of 8,
In (host's last name) attic and don't be late.
Dress in a garb that none will know,
Utter no word as you come and go,
And you'll learn the name of your future mate
And other secrets now held by fate.

...Scribe of the Spirits

This is the night we call our own.
We ghosts and goblins all invite you
If not afraid of sigh and moon,
We're sure our antics will delight you.
Come to the home of:

Come to the haunted house
Where even the moon is shy
There'll be goblins there to greet you
When you hear the black cat cry

At our house of Halloween
Your presence is requested
There signs and omens will be seen
And fortunes will be tested

A big black witch and a little red devil,
Are planning a regular Halloween revel.
Come at 8 o'clock up my dark walk
Wear a costume and don't dare talk.

Don't be scared of a "spook" or two
At a Halloween party they won't harm you
Just come along. Don't hesitate.
Cause you're 'fraid a witch will tell your fate.

Come at the witching hour of eight,
And let the fairies read your fate;
Reveal to more this secret plot,
Or woe - not luck - will be your lot.

This is the tale of a Halloween cat
Who wants you to come just as quick as scat
On Halloween night, 'bout seven or so
To the spooky address that's written below.

When stars shoot and owls hoot
And bats fly in and out,
When fire's blue and candles too,
Then witches are about!

Come, Jack-o'-Lanterns, gather,
And Jell-o'-Lanterns, too.
Meet at the Witch's Hollow
And taste the witch's brew.
The password's "flying broomsticks,
Cat's green eyes, me-ow"
So if you would be jolly
Just come, we'll show you how.
