I'm so jealous of all these awesome invites! About 80% of our invites are done through email but I think this year I'm going to make my boyfriend, Brian, hand them out to his work invitees instead of email. And I will break down and either buy stamps or waste some gas to deliver physical invitations to my invitees.

Hi Jenmch,

The font that was used for our Vampire Masquerade Invites last year was simply Dragonfly MF. I believe it is a standard font?

Glad you like them!

I love all the posted party invitations. The bones, the little coffins, the toe tags, the blood bags, the burning of the edges. Some really very creative ideas. I would like to think of something like that to do. Our theme is the swamp. I focused already on a gator last year on the props and some decorations. So I don't want to use a gator. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate knowing. These are last years invitations. I printed them on blank "wedding invitation" kit and ofcourse personalized the envelopes with a Gator return address etc. The prose is a combination of someone's invitation ( that I do not know the name or I would give them credit) and my own. Just reworked.

Cylon, you could find hollow fake plastic frogs, roll the invitations up, and stick them in the frog's mouths.

Wow, everyone has such creative and fantastic invitations! I'm trying to think of ideas for my Halloween wedding next year, this is a great thread.

Cyclon....you could do a voodoo swamp thing..
little voodoo dolls, or an alter

Rikki and HD-Lilly both great ideas. Although I am thinking about doing the voodoo thing for next year. I gave out homemade voodoo dolls and spells 2 years ago for christmas stocking stuffers. I hate to redo so quickly. I haven't changed friends. LOL !
Rikki. the little plastic frogs ( duh...cylonFROGQUEEN???) I have a frog skeleton....somewhere. But I think he's too small and fragile to cast. But perhaps I could find a frog skeleton ....hum will have to start looking. Thanks for the brain push.
If no frog skeleton can be found...then plastic might have to do. I'll work on it and post if I come up with something. You guys are great !

I decided on a pirate theme and will do the invitations on tea stained/burnt edges paper to look like treasure maps. Here is the wording so far:


Ahoy me hearties!
‘tis that time of year
when Halloween night
be again drawing near

We hope ye can join us
for our Halloween party
there be contests and games
and dishes most hearty

Bring with ye yer carved pumpkins
‘twill give me great pleasure
to award the best one
a chest filled with treasure

If ye miss this big bash
‘twould be quite a shocker
so all ye scallywags come in costume
or face Davy Jones’ locker

Ocotober 18, 2008
that be when we party
so don’t ye be late

Aye, ‘twill be so much fun
yer hosts ye will thank
just be here at six
or ye be walkin' the plank!
