Tweet

Anyone working on their invites for this years party? This is one I am working on and considering using, (I hate having so many dang ideas)........ So this is a poster I found on line and have used Paint shop pro to add and redo things. then in same program I created these tickets(front and back. the plan is..... upon arrival you are to place tickets in the urn keepers urn, and as the bell tolls on the 13th hour we will have a door prize drawing.
this is the front,



Inside

You are invited to the premier of
bone gardens estates#11
Boogie in the parlor to
Tunes for the dead by DJ (dead jockey) Buddy
or Howl with the spirits
With some Scaryoke
don’t be late to Partake
in the parade of creatures
Or Have a bite in the morgue
Be listening
as the bell tolls on the 13th hour
for the Banshees may scream
Your name

the font I used was cold night for alligators, which is not showing here.


and the ticket

front

back

the tickets will be cut out of course, I like the creepshow theme, cause anything can go with that...lol
I will work on a few different styles of invites and pick one before time to send out,

Please share your invites.......

I like it Cool idea with the tickets too. I give out prizes for most creative costume, best couple's costume and best costume of the night. I love sending out invites, but 98% of the people I invite are on facebook lol. So I just make up an invite on there. It's more convenient communicating with everyone in one place.

WOW that is an awesome invite.... did you do the graphics yourself? came out great!

Great looking invite!! That ticket idea is fabulous...I am going to steal that idea for sure...have a drawing for a "door prize". Thanks for sharing!!

We do more of a neighborhood family gathering, and will most likely re-use our rather ordinary ones from last year...

I know what my theme is this year, which is a witches theme, but i am at the moment is pretty dang clueless about how I want to do the invite. I have not come up with the idea yet at all.

Wow obcessedwithit, your invites really look good! They sort of have a vintage movie poster feel. The tickets carry the theme through nicely. Ae you going to carry that out theme in your decor? What are you planning?

Cool invites obcessed! I have only made a few invites in the past that I have no idea where they are these days.. But I am taking notes for future reference!

It would be so cool if you used those little plastic couldron cup pails (like the pumpkin ones that you can put a few pieces of candy in). And then print out the invites in an apothecary jar style, roll them up and stick em in the couldrons with some candy corn or something. Maybe tie some raffia around each couldron to dress em up a bit.

:We bought those Martha Stewart invites from HSN a few months ago. We got them for 5.00 each when they were reg 24.99 each, The one with the finger,and the Vanpire one. Looks cute esp for the great price on clearence
