Día de los Muertos Invitations

Día de los Muertos invitations drawn with care: Marigolds & Papel Picado, a string of papel picado above a bank of cempasúchil marigolds, Ofrenda, a candlelit altar with a photo window for a loved one, and Sugar Skull, a decorated calavera crowned with flowers. Samples are dated Sunday, November 1, for a family gathering, a parish evening or a community celebration. Pick Marigold, Fiesta, Papel Picado or Black & White, and download.

Party tip
Invite guests to bring something for the ofrenda, as the Ofrenda sample does: a photo, a favorite food or a flower for someone they're remembering. It turns the gathering into a shared remembrance, not a party with decorations.
How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. One of these designs has a photo window: drop in a picture and drag it until it sits where you want it. Type the hosts, the date and the place; the back carries the details and the line that sets the evening: the dress code, costumes required, 21 and over, or when the character packets arrive.

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

Is Día de los Muertos the same as Halloween?
No. It's a celebration of remembrance, held November 1 and 2, honoring family and friends who have died with ofrendas, marigolds, candles and their favorite foods. These cards are drawn for that, not as a costume theme.
What goes in the Ofrenda photo window?
A photo of the person or people you're remembering. The window sits in the altar among the candles and marigolds.
Can I write the card in Spanish?
Yes. Every line is editable, and accents print correctly: Día de los Muertos, ofrenda, cempasúchil. Marigolds & Papel Picado's sample label reads Recordando con alegría.
