Thanks! We have put off working on these for now because we have a fence, columns, couple of MM reapers, front facade...too many projects to list...to build.

I dont think the invites will take that long to make.

The ones that we are going to mail will be made along the same lines but with laminated red paper, so they are flat with no liquid, but still have the blood bag label (with the party info) on the front. I dont know if we will add tubing to the laminated ones since they are going thru USPS. I need to go to the store and get some supplies to make the "blood". As soon as I get one made (of both types...i am out of laminating sheets too) I will post the pics!

Thanks for your reply and imput!

My pre-invites & invites are at the top of the page, here. I have another pre-invite all planned, but it doesn't fit with the theme for my next party (whenever that will be).

melissa, that looks like it was a fun party. i love those coffin invites. we love movies as well. i grab them at garage sales, we must have 2 to 3 hundred. i like buying rather than renting because we have no place close to rent and by the time one pays the fees and then the late fees [if any], and the cost of gas, well you might as well have bought the movie. we watch them over and over. your party theme would have been a good time for some sit back and have a good group chat. sounds fun

Re: your sig line... wonder if there is a phobia for fear of clown dolls?

Anyway... it was a lot of fun. I would be surprised if they still had them, but I heard months later that most of the invitees still had their little coffins. Once we move, we want to have a regular bad movie night, so the Halloween party can/will be different. For the last party, it was a natural theme, and worked out well. Most of the people hadn't seen either movie, so that was a bonus.

We usually buy, as well. The biggest regrets along those lines have been newer movies that we hadn't seen yet. But the older movies are just nice to have. And they aren't generally available to rent, so it's not like we have a choice.

don't even get poor laurie s. started on clown phobias. alas the girl is terrified.

i like buying the oldies but only if i have seen them. my husband just buys. we get mostly you won't watch again that way. we buy a lot of previously viewed as well. anyway, the newer movies do eventually become oldies at garage sales. we will once in awhile buy a new one if it is one we really really like or maybe a bday. i think your party idea of more often sounds like a pretty fun idea. hope it goes well for you.

uuhhhmmm, are you afraid of clowns, the dark?, there's some pretty scary clown movies out there

Not clowns, but clown dolls. They freak me out. I'm not a huge fan of those creepy clown paintings either (the little kids w/ the huge eyes). In-person clowns don't scare me, but I'm not a fan of the evil ones in movies. The dark? Yes.

I'm planning my perfect (no budget) party (it's a fantasy). The #1 thing on the list: no clowns. I know people are afraid of them.

I probably shouldn't admit to the size of our DVD collection. Hub and I each had fairly sizable collections when we met, and it's only gotten worse. I would guess that we're close to 2,000 titles, including the TV shows. But we don't have kids or other expensive hobbies (I knit, but "work for yarn" so it's not super costly).

btw, i like your avatar, cute! a knitting witch, that seems to be you.

i make clown, jester, and mime pillows. i liked them so much and am such a halloween nut i turned the happy clown face sad and the jester face with sharp teeth. and i am drawing up an evil mime face now. i will have a happy face and a bad face for each pillow. i know some people don't like clowns. but wouldn't you agree this clown is adorable? 2000 movies, WOW that would be fun! so many times there is nothing on tv. a good movie, and with so many, you could pick something you haven't seen for awhile.
