Quick answer

How to invite guests to a trunk-or-treat

Send trunk-or-treat invitations three to four weeks ahead so families can plan a trunk theme. Include the date, time, lot address, setup time for decorators, costume guidelines, a rain plan and whether to bring candy for a certain number of children. Ask families to reply about a week before so you can map parking spots. Families reply from one link, with a reminder two days out.

What a trunk-or-treat page does for you

A trunk-or-treat swaps door-to-door for a parking lot of decorated cars, so the organizer needs two numbers: trunks and trick-or-treaters. Share one link or QR code in the school newsletter, church bulletin or neighborhood group. Each family replies yes, no or maybe and counts adults and children, and a guest note can say "we'll decorate a trunk" or mention an allergy. Put the lot address, setup time, start time, rain plan and costume guidelines in detail rows. You get an email on each reply, a live guest list, and a CSV export for assigning parking spots. Add to Calendar and map links are on the page, and a Halloween layout with a spooky page effect fits the night.

Trunk-or-Treat RSVP questions

What is a trunk-or-treat?

A trunk-or-treat is a Halloween event where families park in one lot, decorate their open car trunks and hand out candy to costumed children who walk from car to car. Schools, churches and neighborhoods host them as a safe, lit, walkable alternative to door-to-door trick-or-treating, often with games or food alongside.

How much candy do you need for a trunk-or-treat?

Plan for at least one piece per child per trunk, and ask the organizer how many children are expected. A common rule is to bring enough for the expected headcount plus some extra for walk-ups. Offering a non-food treat, such as stickers or glow sticks, helps children with food allergies join in.

How do I create a trunk-or-treat invitation on RSVPlinks?
