1. Summon your guests to your wicked affair with spooky yet classy save the dates and invitations. Some unique Halloween wedding invitation wording ideas include:

- Hallowedding
- Eat, drink, & be scary
- The union of souls

2. Nix the costume requirement. Instead, consider a masquerade party. Not only will your photos appear more uniform if everyone is in a similar attire (i.e., mask), guests won't feel pressured to wear a costume if Halloween isn't their thing.
If you do decide to request your guests to dress up in costume, prepare some props or masks at your reception for those who don't dress up so no one feels left out.

3. Your color scheme can go two ways: dark and Gothic with black, plum, emerald green, or burgundy colors; or you can go lighten things up with a classic fall color palette - that will also look like candy corn!

4. If you're leaning toward a darker color scheme, incorporate Victorian-esque elements to further the classy but spooky appeal. Baroque designs give off a 'haunted mansion' vibe.

6. Don't forget a scary good playlist to give to your DJ! You don't have to play exclusive Halloween music, but be sure to throw in a little 'Monster Mash' or 'Thriller' to honor the holiday!
