wow! it's a wonder they didn't die! but what a neat idea for a party. does that make us kinda weird as well? love your invites

Now, yellow_moon, THAT"S WHAT I"M TALKIN' BOUT'!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wording the idea, everything. How original. Let us see lots of pics of the "unveiling"!!

This is a great thread. Thanks for posting. I'm always looking for creative ideas...

awesome invite yellow moon.
did you find any pictures of the famous "A Mummy From Thebes to be unrolled at half-past Two" invite? I heard it has an illustration of a sarcophagus on it but always wondered what it looked like. The 20th century was a hoot wasn't it? Christies just sold a mummy last year, none this year but you can get a empty kids sarcophagus. Better get to the atm for the $20,000 yellow moon it sells june 4th.

Hello my fellow Halloween Enthusiasts! It's been a while, we're getting a bit of a late start on our Halloween Party this year.

Here are the Invites we used for our Vampire Masquerade themed party last year. We went for simple invites last year since we spent so much more money on everything else. Everyone raved about the invites however, so just goes to show...simple can be equally effective! We are still working on a theme for this year, but we are finally in our own house!! Muwahahahaha.....



We rolled them up and tied them with our red & black theme colored ribbons and mailed them in the standard mailing tubes.



I can't wait to see some more invite ideas! This is definitely one of my most favorite parts.

you may say simple, but i find them very inviting. nice invitations

I agree. These are something I would keep forever. Very sexy.

I haven't located any pictures online of this invite...though it is mentioned in several UK articles. Thanks for all the compliments everyone...as I get things rolling I'll post my wares...

Thanks! Yes that was the fun part. We just sat on our front porch with a long candle lighter, rolled each invitation long way (letters facing out) and gently burned the ends (Top and bottom). Then unrolled and re-rolled the short way to do the sides. We found by doing this we were able to see where we were burning so as not to burn any letters off. lol It also helped to not get any ashes on the invitation itself. We used parchment paper to get that old feel and let me tell you a single sheet of parchment will burn out of hand very quickly if you let it.
