A brief back story to this is...in 2003, we were having a big Halloween party. Instead of sending out the usual invitations, I decided to make a video invitation. Once the video was finished, a bunch of copies were made, and then a month before the party, we went around, literally in the middle of the night, and dropped off the tapes at the front door of the people who we were inviting. In the video, you'll see a girl reading the invitation. You'll here a narration of the invitation being read in the video too, but I'm not sure how well you'll here it. A copy of the paper invitation accompanied the video as well...so the people got to read the same invitation that the girl in the video was reading. The invitation looked like parchment and was slightly burnt on the edges, and was even sealed with wax.

I live in Florida, and didn't have access to a horse and carriage, so sound effects, and the back of an SUV (with someone bouncing up and down on the bumper) had to do.

Anyway..enough of me babbling. Please watch this short video invitation and let me know what ya think. Thanks for your time:)

Get out your Halloween invitations, as it’s the season for ghosts and goblins. Everyone knows that Halloween parties are just as important as getting the decorations and the candy ready for the trick-or-treaters. You want your party to be the best one in town. So, you’ve got all your decorations ready, the food and drinks, and, of course, the music. Now, all you have to do is get the people to come to your house.

Getting the guests to attend your party is where your Halloween invitations come in. Everyone needs to know your party is going to be happening. You need to make sure they know what time, and whether or not to dress up in a theme costume. You could spend hours on the phone trying to contact everyone, or you could send out a bunch of emails in this day and age. However, it’s much better to send out invitations instead. This makes it a bit more personalized. Seriously, who doesn’t like getting party invitations in the mail, or left for them at work?

Halloween invitations come in all shapes and sizes, from cute and cuddly to the more horror filled aspect. Whatever you decide to get, you need to keep in mind that your invitations should reflect the theme of your party. If your party is geared more for children, then you should find something that has cartoon monsters and playful ghosts to convey a message of fun with out the scare. However, if you are throwing an adult Halloween party, you can throw caution to the wind and get the scariest invitations you can find.

You might also keep in mind the type of party you are going to have. For instance, if it’s a “come as your favorite horror film character,” then try to find Halloween invitations that fit this theme. If it’s more like a fancy dress ball, you may want to use invitations that are more elegant and suited to that theme. Whatever choice you make for your party, remember to have the invitations match your unique decorations. This can be done through color or content.

You can find all of your Halloween invitations online, if you like. They are also available in the cards section of just about any major store or greeting card shop. However, with using the stores you are a bit limited to the selection you have. If you have the time and money to spare, it is possible to get a wonderful greeting card program, and create your own invitations right on your computer. With these programs, you can add everything from pictures to text, and even choose how the cards themselves open. You can also be more creative with your paper selections, making these invitations one of a kind.
