Looking for the coolest Halloween birthday party invitations?
Sometimes, you want your guests know that your Halloween party is also a birthday party, but it is difficult to find commercial invitations for both.
Here are some terrific ideas for Halloween party invitations!
Party Monster Cards
These Halloween party invitations are fun, attractive and easy, and they are a great way to recycle!
1. Start with some blank gift cards, or the use of paper or thin cardboard from old cereal or cracker boxes, cut and folded in the form of a card.
2. Collect various types of handmade paper, decorative paper and gift-wrap in orange, black, gray and gold. Glue the decorative paper to both interior and exterior of your invitations. Do not 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 invitations to birthday parties.
4. Collect a few birthday cards old, invitations, gift-wrap and decorations. Cutting the birthday of color 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 monster use a party hat, or have the Wolfman hold a gift or a bunch of balloons. You get the picture!
6. Write your party information on the interior of each contest. 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 personally deliver to your guests!
1. Use sheets of good quality, legal size paper white or cream for your invitation scroll. You will also need craft foam (available at most craft stores and dollar), glue, thick cardboard, scissors, tempera paints, brushes, colorful ribbon or yarn.
2. Prepare simple designs in the foam and cut them off. You want a combination of some designs of Halloween and a birthday of some projects. Try bats, pumpkins, crescent moons or ghosts for Halloween designs, and birthday cakes, balloons, gifts, party hats or noisemakers for birthday designs. Glue each piece of foam with a piece of heavy cardboard. These are your stamps!
3. Stamp festive borders around your Halloween invitations to birthday parties. Use a brush to apply thin layers of paint to stamps, and press them to the outer 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 invitations adult class, and silver paint to use, instead of gold.
4. Once the paint dries, write out your invitations. In line with the scroll theme, write your invitation using old-time or official language. Start with something like "We, the inhabitants of 555 Elm Street hereby invite you ..." or something to that effect. Be sure to include the date, time and address of his party.
5. Once the invitations are written, roll them up like scrolls and secure them with pieces of wire - or use ribbons of the same colors of your stamped borders. They are ready to deliver!
