One beautiful card with everything on it.
Tell us the occasion, your colours and the mood; we paint a draft in your look to pick from.
Marigolds, candles and papel picado for a gathering to remember the people you love: a family dinner, an evening around the ofrenda or a community celebration, with the time, the place, a note on bringing a photo for the altar and a reply card.
A short guide
Name the occasion, then give the date, time, address and a reply date. Add a gentle line about its purpose, such as remembering loved ones together, and tell guests whether to bring a photo, a candle, a dish or a story for the ofrenda. Keep the tone warm and affectionate, never frightening.
It is observed mainly on November 1 and 2. Many families remember children who have died on the first day and adults on the second, and some begin preparing or gathering earlier. Practice varies across Mexico and among families elsewhere, so put your own date and time on the invitation rather than assuming guests know.
No. They fall close together and share some imagery, but they are different traditions. Día de Muertos is a time for families to honour and remember people who have died. On an invitation, avoid horror themes and costume-party language, and say plainly if you would like guests to dress in a particular way.
Ask for what your gathering needs. Common requests are a framed photo of a loved one for the ofrenda, a candle, flowers such as marigolds, or a food that person enjoyed. Make it optional so nobody feels they must share a private loss, and say that simply coming to remember together is enough.
