Bonfire Night Card Messages

Bonfire Night card messages and firework party invitation wording

Bonfire Night falls on 5 November, and most cards sent around it are invitations rather than greetings. Below you'll find firework party invitation wording, funny lines for the group, and gentler notes for neighbours with nervous pets.

Copy any of these straight into a card. Every design here is drawn in house, printed in the UK and posted first class with a kraft envelope.

Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a Bonfire Night card?

Most people write an invitation: the date, the time the fireworks start and what to bring. A short 'remember, remember' line on the front does the rest.

When should bonfire party invitations go out?

Two to three weeks before 5 November, so people can plan around displays and school nights.

Do you sell firework-themed cards?

Our autumn range covers the season rather than fireworks specifically. The cards are blank inside, so they work well as bonfire party invitations.
