Thread: Invitations

Tweet

So, Im still very undecided about my invitations this year, which is driving me crazy. So now Im thinking of making voodoo dolls. Has anyone done this before? If so, what did you do about the party information? And ideas????

I think I remember seeing someone on here that made voodoo doll invites last year and if Im not mistaken they put the invites on a piece of twine and made a noose on the other end to go around the neck of the doll. You could also just get long needles and attach the info card to the doll that way.

I really like that idea. How would you go about making them?

This is a cute idea.. The information could be written on aged paper, rolled up into a scroll and then stuck to the doll with a pin. You could word it like a curse... You have been cursed to 2 years of bad luck unless you appear at 12345 scary place.. Etc..

I found a website http://www.planetvoodoo.com/how_to_m...oodoo_doll.htm
It looks pretty easy but time consuming.

I made a voodoo doll very similar to the ones on the link you found. I wanted mine to be very primitive so it's not as fancy but it was pretty easy to do. Here is a picture of it with some of my witches bottles.

That is super cute!! I love it

I absolutely LOVE the idea of sticking the party info to the doll with a pin. However...then you have to worry about somebody getting stuck, etc. And we all know how weird people can be. You could also do the party info on a tag and tie it to the doll. I think your voodoo doll is just perfect, really like the primitive style.

I am stuck stuck stuck on my invite this year, can't seem to come up with anything decent.

Thanks for the compliment on my doll and I also thought about the pin being an issue after I posted. Tying the info to the doll would probably be the easiest (and safest) route.

I remember those little voodoo dolls too, and I went through all 32 pages of the thread trying to find them, but I'm not sure where they went. Anyone know where those awesome voodoo doll invites from last year went?

I bumped the other thread up to the top to be browsed, but if it's not obvious here's the link - Showcase your Halloween Invitations, past and present

TOTALLY worth your time, there is sheer brilliance in that thread.
