Halloween Invites

As I am a little bored right now, I decided to host a nice halloween party at the end of the month... on the 31st of course. First off, I had to do the invites as I wanted to give everyone enough time to answer. After browsing a LOT of ideas I decided to go with a Bat theme

... and a Black, Grey/Silver, White party. 

I chose those colors because I wanted something chic/elegant and would work great for Halloween. Orange and Black being a little too common, I decided to choose Silver. Then, I was off to design the invites... on PPT because it is really easy and I still have to learn

 Illustrator. Thankfully I had a cool font on my mac: Lucinda Blackletter.

And here is the almost finished product...

After designing the perfect invites, I wanted to get some special paper. We didn't get anything fancy for the wedding, but noticed that a nicer paper makes the difference. So to add the Silver touch, we picked some silver stationary (cards + envelopes) at Michaels. 

We printed the invite on the paper and I added silver glitters (Martha Stewart) to the H in Halloween and one of the bats. 

And here you go... (I had to use an ancient digital camera, so the quality is not great, and on top of it I took those pictures at night). 

I took the first picture with Flash so we could at least see the Silver card.

And Silver envelope

The card has a final touch... Bailey's paw ($1 at Michaels)

Now, I just have to come up with the food, beverages... and a costume!
