Thread: halloween party invites

Tweet

How about some input for unusual party invites? I saw the finger ones at Michaels craft store but they r very expensive when u get into large numbers- we send out about 50-70 invites-

Hey Victoria,

Do you have a theme?

I made my own "finger invites" at my party last year. I bought severed fingers, small wedding boxes and black ribbon. Then I had typed the invite and stuck inside the box. I used green/brown moss to rest the fingers on in the box. It was time consuming and a little bit of a pain. If I couldn't hand deliver the invites, then I just made a larger version of the poem and sent that out. I'm looking for a new idea for an invite for this year as well. Any suggestions?

This year I am doing a CD invite. I burned a CD of Halloween songs & used the print yourself CD labels with a cool skull design. The CD's are in the thin jewel cases. If you use little seals on the sides, you can mail them without putting them inside something. The invitation is the paper insert in the front of the CD.

This year I'm doing spell book invitations. Next year I'm thinking of doing a Voodoo Hoodoo theme and I'm going to use voodoo dolls as the invitation. In the past I've also done coffins, and tombstones for invites.

we don't have a theme- it's just a big party- the Halloween party paper is sooo boring-
the finger ones r grreat but xpensive for mailing and alot of people

I am intrigued, how did you do the coffins HallowSkeen? did you actually have little coffins?

Yes, I made little coffins out of poster board. I rolled the invitation up like a scroll and tied it with a ribbon. I put a skeleton and some spanish moss inside the coffin along with the invite. These were all hand delivered. I got the pattern from ravensblight.com. I used the toe pincher style. If I can find a picture I'll post it.

wow how many of those did u make ? sounds very creepy!

I just made this for my party....it's a video invite that I can email to my guests....what's cool, is that I can send this early (sort of a "save the date") then I can mail paper invites later....
