Thread: Let's see your 2011 invites

Tweet

Here's the invite I made for this year's party.


What's fun about this year is , in years past we would "announce" our theme by the design of the invite - severed finger for Sweeney Todd, Dr. Appointment card for Young Frankenstein, etc. But this year my wife didn't want it to be so obvious, for fear everyone would dress to the theme, which could be a little boring, and repetitive. So we hid the theme as clues in the design. Look at it a while then scroll down and see if you figured it out....













Give up? It's THE BEATLES! The clues? How obvious is "HELP!"? Those giant bugs are Giant Stag Beetles. Of course, the Beatles started the "British Invasion" I consider the "screaming women" kind of a clue...well, maybe not! "Yellow Submarine" is on the back... And at the bottom of the written portion, the last line, "A splendid time is guaranteed for all"! I thought about the fact that there are 5 beetles instead of just 4, but rationalized that George Martin was the fifth...besides, I LIKE the 2 flying beetles!

I don't have a picture of the actual invite, but I'll post the poem I wrote for them.

Calling All Creatures of the Night
Don't be Afraid to Have a Bite
Show Up in Your Best Disguise
And Get Away From Prying Eyes
Bring Your Friends, And Children Too
Nothing Here Will Torment You
Prepare For Chills, And Creepy Fun
Flesh Will Burn, And Blood Will Run
Even in Your Darkest Dreams
There's a Laugh in All Your Screams
So Come on by For The Time of Your Life
Bring Your Spirits, And Leave Your Strife!

Clever Chris!!

This was our invite for our Pirate theme.

They were 9 x 11. I found them at the dollar store in the toy department and they came with a big compass. I gave those to the TOT'ers.
Nothing fancy but they did make a statement! LOL

Vince...how do you begin to create this awesome save the date! I'm pretty creative, but tech not so much! Is this a photo of ?? or did you get this online and use a photoshop program...sorry for sounding so lame..but I love it and don't have a clue where to begin to create it. I usually make my invites using a photo i've taken and templates via vistaprint, but now I want MORE!! lol

That's really lovely HTH - great job (and welcome to the forums.)
