That Time Again

So, it's that time of year again where the Halloween invitations have gone out. Every year I design my Halloween invitation so that it matches that year's Halloween theme. This year I decided to have a Gore Galore Halloween Party. So, it will be fun to see what the guests make of that one for dressing up :) For decorations I will be doing a Murder House theme with plastic sheets on the floor and broken dolls/barbies hanging from the ceiling. Should be fun.

This is my 2016 Halloween invitation:

And these two are from previous Halloween parties:

How to Make Your Own Halloween Party Invitations

It is easy to make your own Halloween invitations if you have access to a photo editing program like Photoshop:

1. Decide on a THEME for your party that will be reflected graphically in your invitation. E.g. Dead Rock Star theme can be illustrated by Dead Elvis image.
2. Find inspiration for your LAYOUT. Search Google Images with search words like: halloween invitation, cool invitation, invitation layout.
3. FONTS are great for spicing up your design. If you don't already have grizzly fonts in your editing program there are plenty of free fonts out there. I found 1001fonts.com for you with loads of awesome free fonts including a bunch of Halloween inspired fonts.
4. The CONTENT. Remember to include the where and the when, what to dress as if you have a specific theme and what to bring.

Here are some of the Halloween invitations that I have made over the past years. A few times I have snail mailed them but mostly I email them as a PDF or jpg attachment.
