This idea was taken from the Brooklyn Limestone blog but when I saw them I HAD to try and recreate them! This is the sideshow portion of the invitation, the main information is on a bloody carnival ticket!
carnEVIL 2015 invitations so far!

And these are the main invitation which after looking at the pic I need to cut them a bit straighter! I guess I will have to semd them in a box, I'll have to think of something else to put in it since the ticket is 3 times the size of the siamese twins. Maybe have scary clown cookies made and send one per box?

I think they look great! I'm not sure if you will be having games like a carnival, but what about putting some game tokens (dollar store?) in the box too, perhaps a pouch of them or something. Looks great!

Such a great idea, they look amazing! Lazy ole me would just send out the invitations and give out the twins as party favors.
Coyboy created a template for me and I am thrilled to death with it.
Many thanks again for your generosity.

Thank you to those I cut & pasted from to create this invite and added the poem. Started converting my old props into clowns.

That is amazing! Soooo creative! We ended up sending the ticket, the babies and scary clown cookies i had made off of etsy in a plain boring box. I wish I would have seen this before I sent them! I would have tried to make the box look like a ticket booth!

This year we went a little more simple but with effect with our invites to our CarnEvil themed event.
I found a spot of color with a vintage Freak Show advert, had them printed on cardstock and then just attached another simple card stock gray scale printed invitation to a black latex balloon. Invitations were hand delivered and tied in a random location to locals ("IT" inspired) and mailed in a priority box to those over 30 minutes away (helium filled so they would float up when opened.)
