Our Costume Party Invitations

September 28, 2011

We are suckers for Halloween.  Suckers.  This year we decided to take the opportunity to dress up and party into our own hands by throwing a costume party at our place.  So last night, we decided to put some costumes together and snap a few photos for the invitations--that way we would drive the message home that it is a costume party.  We had so much fun dressing up and posing for the camera and browsing through all of the hysterical photos (Chris played his character so well! Ha!) that we decided our party MUST have a photo op.  And a costume party wouldn't be complete without awarding prizes for the best/worst/most comical costumes, right?  Here's how the final invitation ended up (with our address blacked out).

Of course we'll be sharing every last detail on DIY decorations and the ghoulish (I couldn't resist) recipes we whip up.  And if you're in Utah on the 28th, we'll see you there!  Anyone else throwing a killer party?

  1. THAT IS AWESOME!! I wish wish wish I could come! FOr reals!! You are like tiny girl!! WOW you are my motivation!

  2. JEALOUS! oh my gosh Chrissssssssssssssss! You were definitely in character! We need to think up some awesome ideas for our ward party. I'm lost if we should do a family costume or just individual ones. If we do a family idea, Ryan will 99.9% be in tights, and he doesn't like that idea! hahaha sooo I need to browse the google search bar.

  3. Haha! Nice. We are still brainstorming our costumes for the actual party. They will most definitely be epic--but just as homemade as taping a lightning bolt to your shirt and wearing purple lingerie as a cape....I meannnn.
