We are hosting Halloween this year.\u00a0 It’s the first Halloween part I’ve thrown since 2004.\u00a0 I’m very excited.<\/p>\n

Sweets and I wanted the invitations to be very special, so we set out to design our own — simple, stylish and attention getting.\u00a0 A black outer card with an orange inner card, the invitation printed in Gothic script and a jack-o-lantern face hand cut from the facing page.\u00a0 The invitation was sheathed in a black envelope and sealed with burgundy wax using a Celtic knot-work imprinted stamp.\u00a0 The invite was then tethered by rough twine fashioned into a noose to a miniature pumpkin inscribed with “A Summoning…”<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also wanted to\u00a0 arrange a special delivery for our friends in town, so we took one evening after work and drove from house to house.\u00a0 Sweets would sneak up and deposit the envelope with the pumpkin resting atop it on the doorstep, then we zoomed off.\u00a0 Once clear of the delivery zone we texted: “You may want to check your doorstep, we saw some shady characters about, just a minute ago!”<\/em> Only two of our marks were baffled enough to respond with confusion… admittedly, they weren’t home a the time.<\/p>\n

The best part, we managed to have 100% success making the deliveries undetected — with he exception of the one person who we didn’t trust leaving the invite on her apartment doorstep, so we hand delivered that one to her at work.<\/p>\n

A fine start to the Halloween season, I’d say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
