But i do not think I like either one of them.... I have been thinking of Edgar Allen Poe's poem for invitations but I am not sure how to do so.... what do you guys think?? ANYONE?

i like this part especially, do you have a theme? edgar allen poe has lots of creepy lines which can be used too. good luck

I like the idea of putting the Poe twist to the invite. How about starting with a simple quote and then following up with the details for the party

example:
"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before."-Edgar Allan Poe
Enter the darkness with us on Halloween night, don't be scared, embrace the fright,etc etc

ex:
"The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins? "Edgar Allan Poe

ex:
"I have, indeed, no abhorrence of danger, except in its absolute effect - in terror."
Edgar Allan Poe
Then just follow up with your own little poem.

My sister and I were going to use the 50's dead theme. but we change it and decide it would be more fun if everyone comes as whatever they want.

I love that poe poem you were coming up with!!!! I think I need to re-read the poem to refresh my mind and then see what i come up with..

how about this?????

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I ponder, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, I came upon this invitation, from my books surcease of sorrow.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, and dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token.

I implore you, will you come to the Halloween Party on October 31st, 2009?

Here is one my mother came up with and I really thought it was funny. Mind you it is not done.....

Law office of creepy, creeper, and creepiest

It is with great sorrow, we regret to inform you that your great, great, great, great, great Aunt or/and Uncle Jendiei Hermen Usslies-Smith the IV, four time remove on your mother’s side of has left this world for a better place, August 1st, 1999, at the stroke of midnight.

The reading of the will, will take place on October 31st, 2009, at the estate of on the corner of Elm and Oak Street, New Haven, WV, at 3 O’clock

Ooo! Good one Nowhining...
but how about the Law office of Secksfeat and Under. I just love play on words.

Okay...how about this:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over this quaint and curious Halloween invitation some more,
I just wondered, really puzzled, what to have for party trappings,
As the inspiration moved me, I spread it all out on the floor.
‘Buckys, bones and FCG’s’, I muttered, ‘Webs and Spiders for my door –
All of this and much much more.’


This would look good on parchment and done with calligraphy. Followed up with the rest of your party info.

Try this for example-

A simple piece of parchment paper folded in half within an envelope. The outside of the paper is simply stamped with a raven. Inside the invite it reads the following:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'
