I found "Timmer's Swamp" invitation on the forum and it had the line "Come the night the gators growl." I really liked that line so I used that as my starting point and came up with the rest after many agonizing hours.

I wanted my three party elements included in my invitation: Mardi Gras (front entrance), Voodoo (the priestess home) and Swamp (back patio with pool - I'll tint the pool red for my bloody bayou).

You guys are the first to read the invitation so your input is very important to me. Does it sound creepy or corny? If I can impress you then I know I can impress my lame friends.

Instead of "Voodoo mojo is planned within"
how about
"A Mardi Gras feast awaits within" or
"A Cajun feast is prepared within"?

and instead of a jester dancing on the grave how about
"Skeletons dance upon the grave,
Human flesh is what they crave."

and should the "spirits rise from eternal sleep" or
"From the swamp the zombies creep"?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I like:
A Cajun feast is prepared within (it is not specific to any one area)

I also like "Skeletons dance upon the grave, Human flesh is what they crave (you typed grave not crave) That reminds me of the old James Bond movie with the creepy voodoo theme and the tall spooky guy raising from the grave.

I also would use "from the swamp the zombies creep"


Love your ideas. I can't wait for photos.

ok , so you like Cajuns, skeletons, and zombies. I think I like the skeletons better too. And yes, I did mean "crave" - how'd you know that? lol I'll go back and change it.

I haven't decided on the front of the invitation yet. I have it in my mind, just haven't been able to find anything online. I would like an artist rendering of a creepy swamp scene sketched in black and white. I did find this which would be perfect except I'm not crazy about the skeleton, too cartoony for my 16 year old daughter who is co-hosting the party with me. (she is inviting 20 friends to my party because I wouldn't throw 2 parties).



This is alright but not spooky enough:


This guy looks fun:


but this dude is really starting to grow on me:


I could stretch his face out to make it look even more skeletal.

Here are this years invites

Great invites Lady Jack! I like the red lining inside the coffin. Nice touch.

Appreciate you posting the picture Hallorenescene. I really like the foggy swamp and the black and white photography. The guy looks creepy too.
