Party Invitations

[Daddy's Little Corpse]

These are my party invitations from last year. I threw a small, "intimate" dinner party Donna Reed-style for six friends...

Now THAT is cool!

[slimy]

Very nice. Very original.

What about everybody else: What do you do for invites?

[trishaanne]

This year the invitations for our party are going out in homemade, cardboard coffins. Each coffin will contain a witch, zombie, skeleton, etc. holding the actual invitations. So far I have about 40 of them done, top, bottom and lining. Only another 45 more to go!:p Turtle should have hers soon and maybe she can post a pic since I can't right now, not till the computer is fixed anyway!

[Daddy's Little Corpse]

dang how many pages was that invite?
Only four... :rolleyes: Gotta keep it interesting.

Now THAT is cool!

Thanks. The heart and cross bones was a bitch to get to stay. I ended up having to use massive fish hooks harpooning it to the wreath basically. The bones are real-- I found 'em on the beach.

"It puts the lotion on its skin..."

TOO funny!

[Lilly]

Trish ..that sounds like a very cool idea can't wait to see those!!

[Lilly]

Trish ..
how big are they and where did you get the little guys inside from?

[jodi]

last year we did eyeballs in a black box..."Keep an eye out for your invitation to our party on xxxx"

this year we are doing message in a bottle. finally found a good price on glass bottles, so I scooped them up. will include a little sand, some shells, the message, wrap the neck of the bottle in raffia and glue another larger shell on. Of course, this year we are among the thousands doing a pirate party.

[trishaanne]

Lilly...sorry this took so long. I think the coffins are about 6-7 inches long and about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep. I went to flea markets and even resorted to raiding my cousins kids closet stealing her old dolls. The invitations for the haunters and good friends will contain small dolls repainted into zombies, witches, etc. The invitations for the "others" will contain little skeletons that I picked up at the local dollar store. They will lay in the coffins and will hold the invitations. I've sent a few out already, so if Ms. Wicked or Turtle can post pics, you can see how they turned out. Since I still don't have access to my computer, I can't post pics. I can send you one to see in person if you want though. Just PM me with your address.

If anyone wants to add their invitations to this page,pm me.

I'm looking to have a black invitation this year, with white print. However, I want to have a white scroll around the entire invitation, kind of "menacing" looking.

Any suggestions?

[Frighteners Entertainment]

What about something like this? Kind of creepy?

[Ghastly Joker]

For mine, I added a nice poem I came up with in five minutes. This was done all done in paint and I thought it came out pretty nice.

[Lilly]

Jeff- thanks I thought it was kind of unique

jodi..yeah hey .

[Ghastly Joker]

[Lilly]

Ghastly....
I thought you were just showing us the "so far" pics .
yes that font is kinda cool.

[Lilly]

AZ.. thats a cool pic.
even though i hate spiders I like the look of that "tat"

your other invites remind me of the copper sheeting pics we used to do as kids

[Hellrazor]

Okay, Daddys little corpse... How do you make these???

http://flickr.com/photos/blackthorncreations/1268825850/

I want some!

[Evil Eyes]

Yes, please tell us how you made these please. They're wonderful.

Trishaanne, how did you make the coffins for your invites? Pictures please. They sound adorable and boy are you disciplined to have been working on them during the summer. I wait until the last minute and kill myself.

[trishaanne]

The coffins are made with cardboard, using mostly gift boxes from Christmas presents. I got tired of glueing all of them together and have resorted to stapling the ends. I still have about 45 of them to go, having finished 45 already. I just got back online, having been computerless for almost 4 months now, so I will try to post pics in a few days, if it doesn't crash again :(
