How to Make Your Halloween Wish More Fun

Want your wish to stand out from the other fifty messages they receive? Use these three simple tricks:

1. Add their name. “Happy Halloween, Sarah!” feels ten times more personal than a plain greeting.
2. Add one real detail. Mention their costume, a party plan, or an inside joke — that is what makes a wish feel written for one person only.
3. End with a question. “What’s your costume this year?” or “Trick or treat — which team are you on?” invites a reply — and that reply is what makes a wish truly engaging.

2. Download the Happy Halloween image from the section you like best.
