Mordessa- that is a great ivite. Very funny, love all the side articles "stick-in-the-mud" lol

Hehehe. Thanks

I am WAY out of my league here, but still thought I'd share...it is what it is...

This year is my 10th party so I sent this montage out. Enjoy, and keep up the good work!

Love the video mrock12079! I may have to do that when I get to my 10th party, I know my guests would have fun seeing pictures from years past. Shooting the beginning from such a low point-of-view definitely adds to the creepiness too. How do you distribute this to your guests? I always use facebook for my invites but can never seem to get most people to realize there is also a video posted on the page.

Here is my invite for 2011 - my theme is haunted mansion since we somewhat recently moved into this 100+ year old house and it might actually be haunted. Enjoy!

This year we did a redneck party. All stamps used were handcarved. I slapped some crumpled paper on pieces of Pabst Blue Ribbon boxes (of which I tore and didn't even bother to cut with scissors). Made the envelopes out of kraft paper/grocery paper bags and stamped with a "PBR" seal. The wording was:

Hooowwwwddddyyyyy

Mosey on over 'fer an epic yard sale.....er....party.

Put yer tooth in, Line dry dem overalls, and make yer momma's best side dish.

Not responsible fer the lil' ones sufferin' injery during the Redneck Olympucks.

I love it hooch. We tried a video invite this year to cut back the stress of creating 50 invitations.....I'm interested to see if it makes a difference in turn out. We are also doing Heroes and Villains.....what's your costume?

I am going as Marge Gunderson, the intrepid Sheriff from the movie 'Fargo'. The hubby is going as Captain Hook.

I made ten of these altogether. I got the jewels and ribbons on sale at Micheals, the coffins from The Oreintal Trading Company, the charms from Etsy, and the roses from the dollar store. I don't have a picture of the actual invite, but I'll post the poem I wrote for them.

Calling All Creatures of the Night
Don't be Afraid to Have a Bite
Show Up in Your Best Disguise
And Get Away From Prying Eyes
Bring Your Friends, And Children Too
Nothing Here Will Torment You
Prepare For Chills, And Creepy Fun
Flesh Will Burn, And Blood Will Run
Even in Your Darkest Dreams
There's a Laugh in All Your Screams
So Come on by For The Time of Your Life
Bring Your Spirits, And Leave Your Strife!
