Here are a couple of mine, I can't find the first one I did for this party from 2006. (friends party, she buys me Thai food for invites)

Jeez, I don't know why it makes the 2007 one so damn small....anyway, If you are that interested you can look in my profile to see the 2007 album.

Charmed --

Your invite is very authentic! Awesome work.

All the invitations that have been posted are so creative. I can't wait to see the Halloween 2008 party photos.

So here is a thread to help conglomerate all of this information. Please post pictures, videos, or web links to your Halloween Party invitations from the past, and from the present (if your like me and have already begun working!).

All of our themes start with 'Welcome to...', such as last years was 'Welcome to Hell'. This years theme is 'Welcome to the Lair of the Eternally Undead', it's a Vampire theme, without coming flat out and saying it. The invite that I have designed is a wooden stake, similar to what a classic vampire hunter would use.

The wooden stake, is just a foot long stake that you would use in your garden. We picked up a pack of 12 from Menards for about $6.50 ($0.54 per stake). The metal eyelet on the card came in a pack of 25 from JoAnn Fabrics for roughly $3.00 ($0.12 per eyelet). The card stock for the attached card, twine, and even the stain I used were all left over from previous projects. However, if you wanted to factor in these elements to the total cost per stake, were still sitting at under $1.00. Not too shabby for a very unique invitation.

Now, if you wanted to mail a stake to someone, the postman says they can indeed be mailed (as is, with no box! Just put the address and postage on the back of the card!). The cost to mail, per stake, was quoted at $1.98 for First class mail.

Can't wait to see everyone else's invites!

Hi there! Those are great invitations! Thank you for all the ideas!

I am trying desperately to find those red stakes used for the Lair of the Eternally Undead, but I have no Menards near us here in the Northwest and I am running out of time! You don't happen to have a brand name or SKU# or anything for those stakes? Are they just huge pencils? I am all over google trying to find them! Thanks for your help!
