These are some invites I did for a good friend of mine. Her event is coming up in October. I got roped into becoming a co-host for this gig, but I don't mind. I love this kind of stuff!!!

Anyway, she just gave me the theme and I went for it. She wanted tons of games, which I'm also supplying her with. Although these are two invitations, they work together. The big rectangle invitation is the real invitation. The ticket is the keepsake, since every single event I do someone is always asking me if I have extras. This way they will have something to remind them of this event.

The ticket will also serve as the door prize ticket. All the tickets are numbered ranging from 1-40, however many people she is inviting. The tickets tell the guests to bring them with them because this is what they will use as their door prize ticket. Once at the party, they will cut the ticket on the dotted line and drop it in the box (which I still have to make). Sometime before the end of the party, the hostess will draw 2 tickets from the box. The people with the corresponding numbers will win door prizes.

We have about 8 other games planned for the night, but I'm preparing for at least 10, since most people, once they get started with games don't want to stop, at least in my circle of friends.

There is still more to make for this event, but for right now, here are the invitations! Enjoy!!!

My little cousin liked the idea of the VIP passes, so for her 15th birthday, I did them for her also. Apparently I did too good of a job because the kids she gave them too really thought they were going to be in a special VIP section of the place, as well as get in free (there was a $5 cover charge by the venue).

I punched a hole in the top of the invite and tied ribbon to it to make it a necklace, just like a real backstage pass. I even made her a box that said confidential that she could keep them in, to add to the illusion. She said she felt like a celebrity passing them out.

She got into a few "discussions" with her friends about the passes. They thought that, because I used a mock barcode on them, they were special VIP who would get to sit in a roped off section and get in free after their invite was scanned. Hearing her tell the stories people were trying to use once they got to the door was HILARIOUS!!!

But she was happy, I was happy and overall, everyone loved them. I see these are going to become a big hit...
