Some Tips For Cool Halloween Birthday Party Invitations

"Sometimes, you want your guests to know that your Halloween
party is also a birthday party..." 

If you're sure that it's a good idea to broadcast that your

(or your offspring's) birthday is on Halloween. that is...

I mean, as loads of people have seen the movie "The Omen" (and some have even seen the original one), someone is bound to add two and two together and come up with... 666, somehow.

Also, if your name is Damien (your parents having probably a very wicked sense of humour) as well as being born on Halloween's day, then, trust me: you definitely don't want your guests to know that your Halloween party is also a birthday party!

You know, just in case...

I had to mention that possibility...

Not because I actually care, but because, let's face it, I don't really fancy being held responsible for any harm whatsoever caused to you after you've read today's post and decided that it was a good idea to let your guests know that your Halloween party is also your birthday party.

Oi! Where do you think you're going?! 

What do you mean, you're leaving?

Ah, come on! I was only joking!

Yep, it's Halloween time!

As you might have noticed, I'm already in full  Halloween mood.

And, when I'm in full Halloween mood, Halloween related posts starts appearing on 'Forward and Share'...

Today's one is from our newly arrived Guest Writer, Qing Gu, who starts the Halloween theme by (but, you've probably guessed that by now) giving us tips on how to make cool Halloween birthday party invitations.

Yep, there are some people who are actually born around (and on) Halloween's day...  

It's not just a myth! 

Enjoy... and, 

Happy Halloween/Birthday!

Looking for the coolest Halloween birthday party invitations?

Sometimes, you want your guests to know that your Halloween

party is also a birthday party, but it's hard to find commercial

invitations for both.

Here are a few terrific ideas for Halloween party invitations!

 

Monster Party Cards

These Halloween birthday party invitations are fun, attractive

and easy, and they're a great way to recycle!

1. Start with some blank gift cards, or use sturdy paper or

thin cardboard from old cereal or cracker boxes, cut and folded

into the shape of a card.

2. Collect several types of handmade paper, decorative paper

and gift-wrap in orange, black, gray and gold. Glue the

decorative paper to both the insides and outsides of your

invitations. Don't use just one type of paper on each card – be

creative!

3. Photocopy some pictures of scary Halloween monsters.

Frankenstein's monster, the Wolfman and Dracula make great

images, and you can also use pictures of gargoyles, skeletons,

skulls and ghosts. Glue these photocopied images to the front of

your Halloween birthday party invitations.

4. Collect some old birthday cards, invitations, gift-wrap and

decorations. Cut out the colorful birthday images: party hats,

noisemakers, birthday cakes, bunches of balloons, brightly

decorated presents and birthday banners make great birthday

cut-outs.

5. Glue your birthday cutouts to appropriate places in your

scary monster pictures. Make Frankenstein's monster wear a party

hat, or have the Wolfman hold a present or a bunch of balloons.

You get the picture!

6. Write your party information on the inside of each

invitation. Be sure to include the date, time and place of your

party!

Simple Stamped Scroll Invitations

These are great Halloween birthday party invitations that you

can hand-deliver to your guests!

1. Use sheets of good quality, legal sized paper in off-white

or cream for your invitation scroll. You will also need craft

foam (available at most craft and dollar stores), glue, thick

cardboard, scissors, tempera paints, paintbrushes, twine or

colored ribbon.

2. Draw simple designs on the foam and cut them out. You want a

combination of a few Halloween designs and a few birthday

designs. Try bats, pumpkins, crescent moons or ghosts for

Halloween designs, and birthday cakes, balloons, presents, party

hats or noisemakers for birthday designs. Glue each piece of

foam to a piece of thick cardboard. These are your stamps!

3. Stamp festive borders around your Halloween birthday party

invitations. Use a paintbrush to apply thin layers of paint to

the stamps, and press them onto the outside edges of your

invitations, alternating between the birthday and Halloween

themed stamps. Use orange and black paint for Halloween stamps,

and two bright primary colors for birthday stamps. For classy

adult invitations, use silver and gold paints instead.

4. Once the paint dries, write out your invitations. In keeping

with the scroll theme, write your invitation using old-time or

official language. Start with something like "We, the
inhabitants of 555 Elm Street do hereby invite you…" or

something in a similar vein. Be sure to include the date, time

and address of your party.

5. Once your invitations are written, roll them up like scrolls

and secure them with pieces of twine – or use ribbons of the

same colors as your stamped borders. They're ready to deliver!

Have fun in making your own Halloween birthday party

invitations!
