Halloween Party Invitation 2014

We will be hosting our annual Halloween Party on the 25th this year and are finally getting the invitations in the mail. I know that in this day of Facebook and email, it is rather old fashioned to send an invitation via the mail, but isn't it nice to actually have something besides junk and bills in your mail box?

This year's invitation has an original poem that I wrote late one night last month.  I searched and searched for something on the web, but I couldn't find anything that worked, so I sat down and wrote this up. I did borrow the first line from the Bard - hopefully he won't mind!

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

By the moon we gather here,

To celebrate this time of year.

When witches fly and the dead arise,

The zombies moan with glowing eyes.

We gather round the pumpkin’s light,

And party long into the night.

Witches brew and bat wing stew,

Come taste our punch and cupcakes too.

So disguise yourself and your better half,

Come around about 7 for many a laugh.

We will party long into the night,

‘Till all are blessed with second sight.

I think it works perfectly for a Halloween invitation - what about you?

Here is a template for you to use - just save it to your computer, open it up in PicMonkey and add your own information.  We inserted ours into a Word Doc and printed them 3 to a page.  You might need to adjust the size a bit, but 3 should fit on it as long as you use narrow margins. After we printed and cut the invitations, we glued them down to a piece of black card stock and added a piece of orange ribbon.

At a reader's request, I've provided a template without the time.

Here is the sample so that you can see how we laid everything out - 

PicMonkey has lots of Halloween fonts to use, so just pick out one you like and add your info for your very own custom invitation.

Halloween is fast approaching and only 28 days to go until our favorite Holiday! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
