Black Cat & Bat Halloween Invitations

Black cat and bat Halloween invitations: Cat on a Pumpkin, a black cat sitting on a jack-o'-lantern under Purrfect Halloween Party, and Going Batty, a moonlit panel of little bats over three pumpkins. The black is kept to the cat and the bats themselves, so the cards stay light enough to print a stack at home. Choose Classic Orange, Purple & Green or Black & White, type the details, and download.

Party tip

Cat ears count as a costume. Cat on a Pumpkin's sample says so on the back note, and it's a kind line to include when some families don't do full costumes: every child can join in with a headband.

How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Type the family or the birthday child under Hosted by, the date and the place; the back carries the details again with one practical line: costumes welcome, bring a treat bag, wear something that glows, or a pick-up time.

Pick the original colors, the second palette, or Black & White for a mono printer, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG or a Word file. Every palette is drawn on light paper, so a stack prints without draining the ink. For more lines to put on the card, see the Halloween invitation wording ideas.

Frequently asked questions

Do the black cats use a lot of ink?

No. The cat and the bats are small, and the card itself is white or cream, so the front prints mostly white. The Black & White palette uses no color ink at all.

Can I use Going Batty for a grown-up party?

Yes. Its Purple & Green palette reads as more grown-up than the orange; change the note to suit the evening. For something more gothic, see the Haunted Mansion & Gothic designs.
