Some invitations whisper. This one makes demands. The gothic template leans into the theatrical side of Halloween with a color palette that could have been pulled from a Hammer Horror film poster.

What’s Included

  • 5x7 inch invitation in both PDF and PNG formats
  • Deep crimson and pitch black color scheme
  • Dramatic high-contrast serif typography
  • Blood drip accent details along the top edge and corner elements
  • Editable text fields for date, time, location, costume requirements, and RSVP
  • Trim marks and bleed area included

Design Details

The blood drip effects were hand-illustrated rather than generated, so they have weight and organic variation instead of looking like a rubber stamp. The crimson reads as oxblood on matte stock and shifts toward a brighter arterial red on glossy paper, so choose your cardstock based on how dramatic you want to go. Typography uses a heavy display serif for the headline with generous tracking, giving it a cinematic title card quality.

Print on 100lb cardstock for maximum impact. The heavy ink coverage on this design benefits from thicker stock that won’t buckle. Black envelopes with a red wax seal (real or sticker) complete the presentation.
