Choose the paper and the wax
An envelope as dark as the night or the colour of a pumpkin, a sheet that looks old, black or orange wax. The decorations are yours to bring: a photo of your own, a drawing, even on the envelope.

Halloween party invitations, sealed in wax
With CartIrya, a Halloween party invitation is a letter: you choose the paper and the colour of the wax, write the invitation once, and every guest gets their own link. They open a sealed envelope, break the seal and find their name written inside. At the bottom they reply — coming or not, and how many — and every answer comes back to you, all in one place.
From the hosts' side
How digital Halloween invitations work
for Sofia
II
Write the invitation once
When, where, what to dress as. Where the name goes, you put a placeholder: for each guest it becomes their name, in the same spot and the same lettering.
III
Paste in the names
One per line, like the list stuck on the fridge. Before sealing you can flip through them one by one and see each guest's invitation.
IV
Everyone gets their own
You send the link yourself, on WhatsApp or wherever you usually write. Whoever opens it breaks the seal and watches the words appear, one at a time.
On the other side of the door
Each guest finds their own envelope.

The replies, inside the invitation
- Coming, maybe, not coming — and how many.
- A free note: the costume, what they're bringing, an allergy.
- You get an email with every reply, and anyone who has replied can change their mind.
- Your Room holds the full list, ready to download in Excel or CSV so you buy the right amount.
- Forgot someone? Guests can be added even after the invitation has left.

Frequently asked questions
No. They open the link on their phone or computer, in the browser, and reply. If they like, they can save their reply to an account of their own to find it and change it later.
There's no catalogue of decorations, and that's on purpose: it's your party. You can upload your own images — a photo, a drawing, last year's costume — on the sheet and on the envelope too, and choose the paper, the colours and the wax. The rest comes as you write. If you'd like somewhere to start, here are ten drawings of ours, free to use: Download the drawings (zip, 2 MB)
Each one has their own link, with their name inside, and you send it wherever you usually write to them: WhatsApp, email, a text. CartIrya only asks for names — no phone numbers, no addresses.
Usually two or three weeks before: enough time for everyone to think about a costume. In the invitation you write the reply-by date, and in your Room you see who hasn't answered yet.
Yes: the reply comes with a free note where they can write whatever they like. And if the invitation is for a family, they also say how many are coming.
Yes. The link goes to the parents, who reply for everyone and say how many they are. For the little ones, opening the envelope and breaking the seal is already part of the party.
Yes: there's a real invitation, open to anyone, to see exactly what a guest receives. You can even reply, as a test.
