Every year Joe and I throw a Coombs Family Halloween Bash. It might just be the highlight of my Halloween season. We eat dinner. Dress in costume. And then play a MEAN {and I mean MEAN} game of Fear Factor. Each year I try to out-think myself with new antics. {This year will not disappoint ....Coombs fam readers. Be afraid. Be very afraid.}
When I saw THIS post from Poca Cosa awhile back...I just knew that I needed to copy her idea for invitations. {Hey..that's what blogs are for, right?} They just needed a little 'Marci' twist....and this is what I came up with:
The coffins were purchased at Michaels. They came unfinished. I painted them black and then added a coat of glue and glittered my heart away!
It of course needed some detail, so I added a pinwheel {FINALLY figured out how to make those. Geesh. I am like WAY behind}, some tulle, and a mini skeleton head. All stuck together with my favorite friend - the hot glue gun.
Inside was this little surprise...
I lined the coffin with burlap {a NEW favorite friend of mine}...added some candy bones and a skeleton, just the right size for these boxes.
Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha. To see our previous family Halloween parties....click HERE and HERE.
Receiving these in the mail made my heart all a-flutter. (But that may have been my nerves reacting to Fear Factor.)
ReplyDeleteWhat?? Over the TOP adorable!! If these are just the invitations, I can hardly wait to see the party!
