Short and spooky

What to write in a Halloween message

Puns are the format: Halloween is the one card where 'fang-tastic' is correct register. Stack two maximum per message — three is a haunting.

For kids, bless the haul: candy volume and costume durability are the night's real KPIs. 'May your bucket overflow' speaks their language.

It's also a stealth check-in holiday: 'thinking of you, you excellent ghoul' reaches friends you haven't texted since summer, zero pressure attached. Send it as a prank-box card for full October energy.

Questions

What do you write in a Halloween message?

One pun, one wish: 'Have a fang-tastic night — may your treats outnumber your tricks a hundred to one.' Ridiculous is the correct register; commit to it.

Is Halloween a card-sending holiday?

Increasingly — it's a no-obligation excuse to reach friends between summer and the holidays. A funny link they open beats a paper card here; the whole holiday is digital-native now.
