nightmare before christmas themed party

**psychonmemphis** · 07-13-2010,03:37 PM

Well i decided about a month ago that i was having a nightmare before Christmas themed party this year! My idea is when you first walk in you enter my kitchen (halloween) and as you go you enter my living room which will be christmas town w/ a tree.Now i plan on making almost everything outside of prizes but what i need help with is the invites! i want something cool, and eye catching but not just a paper card something more interactive so people will not forget! All i know is it needs to be fairly cheap, able to mail to some, and reflect my them, please help!

Have you looked into CD invites, I bet you could find some really cool ideas. You could tie in hte NBC theme and spooky music along with date and time and place. I would search here and then online. Cheap to burn them and mail them out

Maybe you can attach aged paper invites to NBC type characters? Magnets? make mini invites and tuck them in small Jack o lantern pails like these http://www.windycitynovelties.com/14...Fcpd2godkX6CIA or these http://www.orientaltrading.com/ui/br...17%3B-Lanterns

Or you could make small treat bags decorated with NBC pics or stickers tuck with small treats and with invites tucked in and a reminder pumpkin with slips of paper stuck out kind of like Hersheys kisses tags?

Hm I really don't know.

that is a really cool idea.... i kind of want a darker side to it as well so maybe i can find some of those pumpkins at wal-mart or dollar tree soon ( saves on shipping) and see if i can make them "dark"

Halloween Wrapped in Christmas
I would probably do small wrapped christmas presents with mini rubber spiders or creatures or skulls, or your favorite halloween thing inside. Or, an idea from one of my favorite scenes from the movie....a head!! Anyhow, then you can have the invite attached to the creature or the halloween gift inside. You can always do the invite as an Image of Jack in the Santa outfit.

Youtube Video = This is Halloween
If you want to do a video invite, maybe you could download the first scene of the movie where they sing "this is Halloween" and then edit it to have information about the party. Or maybe just send out the link as a "reminder" the week before the party. If you upload it onto youtube, you won't have to worry about the CD burner and cost of CDs.

that gift idea with the head inside is the best idea ever! omg i have to start working on that! and thanks for the link! i think i will do a video and the gift and if i can not get my burner to work i will use youtube!

Glad you like it! Definitely keep us posted on how things turn out. Can't wait to do that theme myself. Got my theme for this year already, but maybe next year.
