Thread: 2010 Invites

Tweet

Not sure bout this year, but last year my theme was Vampire Ball and I had coffin shaped card stock with red bat swirls that I did in embossing powder. Put in over 20 hours and $50 into 50 of them. Yikes! They did look amazing though. I found a website called 123print.com that I think I'll be using to print some more basic invitations this year.

I think I have our final version of the invitation for this year. I know I got the idea from someones post on this forum, my apologies for not remembering who to give some kudos too for the idea. ( been working on this forever it seems)

I dont like all of the extra space around the edge, it goes away when I print them out on postcard stock.

my tiny little nephew likes to use the "puny human" quotes from the Hulk so I wanted to throw that in

i already sent mine out in the mail lol i dont really have a theme...just fun and costumes

Here is ours.

Our invitiations this year are a 12-page Book of Spells. It's 8.5x5.5 and bound on the side with jute. I wanted to use all this excess pink paper I have left from one of my kid's school projects. The intent was to then tea stain the pages. But after doing one sample book I saw how time consuming that is and some of the pages became unreadable. Does anyone have any ideas how I can make this paper work?

My daughter and I made jointed skeletons, used spray glue to stick the paper to black card stock then connected the joints with brads. I found some great matte black button and string envelopes online and addressed them with a silver paint pen. Yeah, beware that if you are enlisting the help of a child with this project, that said child will probably get half way done cutting out ONE skeleton and change her mind about helping. (Not that I have ever experienced that before, I'm just sayin... it may happen)

CMK4425, That is the paper we used 2 years ago for Face your Fears, Had written on it - Face Your Fear Be your Fear Or Your Name Here

Cool this is the easiest way we have found to do invitations. Every year we use different preprinted stationary and print the info on it. After 10 years I just don't feel like putting anymore time, money and effort into the invitations.
