Thread: Need Help with invites for Haunted Hotel

Tweet

I need some help! We've decided to go with a haunted hotel theme this year and I'd like to make invites with the theme of a hotel reservation confirmation, but I just can't come up with any ideas on the wording. I'm thinking of starting with something like, "Thank you for booking your stay at the Chamberwell Hotel. We have you scheduled for check-in on Saturday October 24th at 8 PM.... " I can't think of what to say next - I need to add some creepiness. Any ideas??

Thank you for booking you stay at the Chamberwell Hotel.
We have you scheduled for check-in on Saturday October 24th at 8pm
permanently

(Hotel California - you can check in but you cannot check out)
just a thought

I LOVE that idea absintheminded - thank you. Please keep the ideas coming!!

You could add some descriptions of the Hotels amenities...

if you are providing food at your party you could say something about the reservation including a complimentory meal, bar etc.

Also add something about the Hotel's expected attire (costumes)

Those are fantastic ideas, Elza. Thanks so much. I knew I could count on the creativity of this group! I'd love even more ideas and especially specific wording of any kind...

Here are a few ideas for wording. You can do the invitation in the form of a tri-fold brochure.
Some off the cuff examples:

"You are invited to join us. We have a vacancy, which you might fill...permanently!"

"Due to sudden and unforeseen circumstances, we now have a vacancy open that only you can fill."

"Room # 1313 is waiting for you." Or room # 666.

"Enjoy our 'unique' dining menu or order in from Tomb Service."

"Extended stay plans available (whether you want to leave or not!)"

Weary travelers voted the Chamberwell Hotel as a 4 Scar resort. It easily beat out Motel 666 as a popular final resting destination.

Relax in the Cauldron Spa's famous wood fired 'really hot tub' or splash in the blood pool.


As for actual party decor, take a look around various internet sites for photos of Disney's Tower of Terror. I am always amazed at the detail in the lobby, front desk and boiler room settings.

Make some paper tape "sanitized for your protection" strips for the toilet seat in the restroom. You can even change it to: "Satanized for your possession" if you like attention to detail.

Wow - those ideas are exactly what I was looking for! I love the "tomb service" idea and the line about the "vacancy only you can fill". Thank you. I'm going to try to start working on them (rough draft) tonight!

Forgot to mention that we just went to Disney in March and the Tower of Terror was our inspiration. We took a ton of pictures so that will definitely help us with ideas for the decor. I'm getting excited now.... we're a little behind our normal schedule for Halloween, but better late than never!
