Personalizing this further

Halloween cards are a small, charming surprise — keep it short, playful, and specific to the recipient. Reference a costume, a memory, a movie you both love. For children, lean cute; for adults, a little dark humor lands well.

A short & sweet card to colleague rarely fails when you anchor it to one specific moment between you. Skip the universal lines; reach for the one only you could write.

What to avoid

Skip references that could read as scary or violent for children. For adult cards, don't make it about real-world fears — health, finances, politics — even as a joke.
