Thread: Another Invitation Idea

Tweet

Oooh! I found this last week. My invites for this year already went out, but I am SO using this idea next year! I don't know about the rest of you, but I often get inspired by things I see for sale... and use them as a jumping-off point for my own things.

This owl/eyeball invite from Plum Party is very close to what I'd like to do, but I don't like the owl. But I love the eyeballs and "hope to see you" note. Thought I'd share!

So, between the mini-Necronomicon book idea and this one, my pre-invite and invite are covered. I just don't know which is which yet (have LOTS of time to decide, though, don't I?). Probably the book will be the invite, since it has space for detail, but it would also work as a fun teaser, with just a couple words per page.

What a cool idea. I think on the front of the box should be a dead tree with a pair of eyes peeking out.

Yagottawanna!

Pretty cool! I like 'em!

barefoot: Yeah! See, that's much better than the owl.

You inspired me Melissa! I made my invitations yesterday after a trip to the dollar store! They had little clear plastic boxes that were to be used as bridal shower favors (6 for a buck), and they had little foil wrapped chocolate eyeballs, yeah! I glued two of the eyeballs to the bottom of the box so it looks like they are looking out at you from inside the box, added just a little spanish moss for creepiness, and closed the box up. Then I made a little sign that says "We'll see you there. . . if you dare!", which I glued to the front of the box above the eyeballs. Then I tied orange ribbon around the sides of the box, and tied the invitation to the top, rolled like a scroll. I used Print Artist to make the invitations on a bookmark, so they are long and skinny and I could roll them up. They turned out so cool! I did about 60 invitations for $16! Thanks Melissa! Gotta love the dollar store!

Yagottawanna!
