Digital Invitation for Your Halloween Zombie Crawl

It's quarter past eleven on a Friday in October. Someone in the group chat asks where the second stop is, and nobody answers, because the answer is buried in a two-minute voice note from Tuesday. That's the moment a digital invitation for your Halloween zombie crawl stops being a nice idea. One link, both meeting points, the RSVP in the same place — and you can pick a design from the catalogue and send it today.

The part that takes real thought is what goes inside: the title, the two times, the dress code and the one question you actually want answered. Here's how to settle it in five minutes.

Digital invitation or edited template: which one your zombie crawl needs

If you're fifteen people who are always the same fifteen and the plan is 'meet at Marta's front door at 22:00', an edited template does the job: title, date, place, done in ten minutes. Two meeting points change the sums. The second stop is the one that goes missing, and it always gets explained in a voice note nobody plays to the end. Run the five-line test: if your route takes more than five lines to explain, the template runs out of room, and you'll notice it that same night.

• Count your meeting points: one gets by with a template; two need separate time and place fields for each.
• Decide whether the cover is a photo — the carved pumpkin in the doorway, the string of lanterns — or just title, date and a line.
• Write the RSVP question the way you'd say it out loud: 'First stop, second stop, or both?'
• Open the link on the phone of someone who has installed nothing, then check the time of the second stop reads correctly.

Digital invitations for a night that splits in two

A digital invitation is a web page for your night, not a PDF and not an image. Title, names, date, line and place go in one field each, with a character counter and a preview that updates as you type — so moving the second stop from ten to half ten doesn't mean fighting a canvas. You can add up to six of your own photos and they frame themselves: the carved pumpkin by the door as the cover, the corner of the park where the route starts as a decorative shot. Swap either one later if the plan changes.

Once it's sent, changing the time, the place, the map, the dress code or the line doesn't mean resending anything: if the second stop moves from the kiosk to the fountain, everyone sees the updated version at the same link. Set the RSVP question around what matters here — 'First stop, second stop, or both?' — and confirmations arrive in one ordered list inside the invitation, so at half eleven nobody is chasing replies in the chat.

If you need more than five lines to explain the route, you don't need a longer message. You need an invitation that holds both stops.

What a digital invitation costs: 29.99 EUR, paid once

One payment per invitation, no subscription, nothing that renews in November. The site runs in seven languages and you can set the invitation's content per language too, which matters if half the crew is coming in from abroad. Editing the cover is free; buying unlocks every scene. What you're not getting: cards to cut out, an app nobody will download for one night, or a reprint because the second stop moved. If you already know your two stops and who's coming, put both in a digital invitation and let the link do the work.
