Halloween place cards: cast a spell with the Griffy font
A proper Halloween table needs pumpkins, flickering candles… and guests who find their names written in a witch’s hand. To help you cast that spell, we’ve added a new font: Griffy.
Griffy, a font that casts a spell
Griffy’s looping, hooked letters look as if they came straight out of an old book of spells. It’s more playful than scary, it stays easy to read even with long names, and it has every accent your guests’ names might need.
You’ll find Griffy in the font selector under “Retro & party”, next to Count Suckula, our other Halloween font.
Griffy or Count Suckula?
- Griffy suits a magical, family-friendly mood: kids’ parties, dinners with friends, a costume party snack table.
- Count Suckula is for a spookier night, with dripping letters straight out of a horror movie.
You can also mix them: one for the names and the other for the tables, or the other way around.
Step 1: Choose a Halloween design
All our Halloween place card templates are on one page. Pick the one closest to the mood of your party.

Step 2: Add your guests
Paste your guest list, one name per line, or upload an Excel file with the names in the first column and the tables in the second. Check the guest count to make sure nobody’s missing.
Step 3: Switch to Griffy
In “Personalize the name”, open the font selector, choose “Retro & party”, then Griffy. The preview updates instantly. Do the same in “Personalize the table” so your table names match.
A few ideas to take it further:
- Color: orange or a deep purple changes the whole look, especially on the black-and-white designs.
- Size: Griffy has big loops, so give it room. Under “Text sizing”, choose “Same size on all cards” so every name comes out the same size, even the longest ones.
- Themed tables: swap “Table 1” for names like “The Witches’ Table”, “The Vampires’ Table” or “The Ghosts’ Table”.
Step 4: Print
Download your PDF and print it on card stock, ideally around 75 lb cover (200 g/m²). Cut out the cards and, for tent cards, fold along the line.
Now light the candles and keep an eye on the cauldron. Happy Halloween! 🎃
You’re all set. Over to you!
