Latke Party Invitation Wording: Hanukkah Latke Night and Potluck Examples

A latke party invitation names the night, the time, the place, and what guests should bring — usually a topping, a side or a dessert. Latkes are a Hanukkah classic because they're fried in oil, like sufganiyot. Here's wording for every kind of latke party.

What should a latke party invitation include?

The date (and which night of Hanukkah, if you like), the start time, the address, what to bring and an RSVP date. Mention candle lighting if you'll light the menorah together.

Detail	Example
Headline	"Latkes & Lights"
When	"Saturday 5 December · 5:30 pm (the second night)"
Where	"The Miller home, 22 Oak Street"
Plan	"Candle lighting, latkes, dreidel"
Bring	"Your favourite topping — or just your appetite"
RSVP	"Please reply by 1 December"

How do you word a Hanukkah potluck?

Say what you'll make and what guests can bring, so you don't end up with eight bowls of applesauce. A short sign-up line works well.

• "We'll make the latkes — please bring a side, a salad or a dessert to share."
• "Bring a topping: applesauce, sour cream, smoked salmon, or something surprising."
• "Sufganiyot welcome! Doughnut bakers, this is your moment."

When should you send latke party invitations?

Two to three weeks before — mid-November for a party in early December — so friends can keep the night free during a busy season. Hanukkah 2026 starts at sunset on 4 December.

How should you send them?

A link on WhatsApp or text, with the RSVP built in, tells you how many latkes to fry. PixerInvite's Latke Night opens on a latke sizzling in a cast-iron pan before a cosy kitchen party appears; choose "Hanukkah party" to add the schedule and RSVPs.
