- When?
- What day is it? What time does it start?
- RSVP information
- What phone number do they call or text? When do you need to hear back by?
- Dress code
- Is it a Halloween costume party?
- Who’s invited?
- Are partners welcome? May children come? Is it ladies only?
- What should they bring?
- Is it a potluck? Are you having a pumpkin carving competition they should bring a pumpkin for?
