The dollar tree had out a few new things today (no crows tho) so I started messing around with ideas for the 'reminders' that I send out every year. Heres what I came up with.....not sure it's what I'll use.. just an option.

reminder from last yr...it was just a plain post card type, nothing fancy.. Im hoping to step it up a notch this yr

Those look great! What a neat idea! I may have to go buy some more of that stuff for next year's invites.

Thanks guys, yeah I got everything at the dollar tree... I went back and got some earth tone beads and some smaller jute twine so it would be more flexible. Im happy with the skulls, twine and beads but Im thinking maybe I should age the bone possibly hit them with some stain...hmmmmm

yeah, age the bones. it will add the the concept

I think I will do reminders once my summons are sent. I was thinking of doing it in several phases to keep people interested in the murder mystery. (Because I start inviting early so I can develop interest and figure out if I need to invite more people because of the rsvp's.)
Phase 1 the summons
Phase 2 A Newspaper clipping with the lead story up to the party (Where the murder occurred and surrounding activities - It was the annual pumpkin festival)
Phase 3 - maybe a toe tag and if that person has committed to come, their character profile (so they can develop their costume around it)...for example one character (who has already committed to coming) is the town deputy and his name is Stu Pitt!
Phase 4? and maybe as a final reminder...a book mark that will have party details on one side and the Murder mystery name and a Large question mark on the other.

I just did a prototype for my invites last night. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it...what do you guys think? Any constructive criticism (that's not going to cost me an arm and a leg!)? I do like the text I came up with, though.
