Coffin Halloween Party Invitations
Halloween is Madi’s favorite holiday and she LOVES hosting a Halloween Party! It’s kind of been “her thing” so we decided to let her have one here, even though I really don’t think our house is ready for Guests. I have to keep reminding myself that we can’t put life on hold until all the projects are done.
So anyway…
We were at the Dollar Store and we saw these cool coffins full of gummy body parts that we thought were perfect for her invitations. You can’t tell, but they’re about 8″ long.
At $1 each, these are not bargain invitations but we’re only inviting 8 girls so we decided it was OK. Back in IL she always invited between 15 to 20 kids so 8 should be a quiet evening — right?
Ha!
Madi traced the coffin, then scanned and saved it to her computer and used that as a template to create her invitation which we cut out and glued onto the inside top of each coffin.
Which left a “not super attractive coffin” when the lid was closed.
But Madi had a plan for that all along (which is why the invitation went INSIDE the coffin)!
We bought three 12×12 sheets of “wood grain” paper and traced and cut out the coffin lid.
Then we added a “sign” Madi printed out that says, “You’re Invited: Open if you DARE…”!
I think the invitations turned out pretty darn cute and since the party is this coming weekend we finally pulled out some decorations.
It’s amazing how yards of stringy fake cobwebs and a giant spider hanging of your refrigerator puts you in the Holiday Spirit!

Hi. I’m Sandra.
I'm a crafter, DIY'er, home renovator and builder of "STUFF". We move frequently so I get lots of chances to buy a house and then tear it up so I can put my mark on it before we sell it and move again. I hope you'll join me on my DIY adventure as I start all over again.

These are so cute! I think she is a girl after my own heart. Hope her Halloween party is fantastic!
Isn’t she so creative! Parties are so much fun…I’ve been boycotting having one, but all the goodies and decorating is so much fun. Getting my wheels spinning for fall fest. Have a blast.
Way cute! My daughter is having a Paris themed birthday party in two weeks. For her invitations, we did passports and boarding passes. They turned out really cute!
That sounds adorable!
Very creative. I can never find the great stuff at the Dollar Store that others do! Tell Madi that she did a great job. My daughters’ birthdays are Oct 26 & 30. We’ve had some fun birthday/Halloween parties.
Madi wishes her birthday was in Oct. I bet those are the funnest birthday parties ever!
Way to go, Maddie!! These are super-cute! Hope you have tons of fun at your party!
Fun! My big Halloween bash is this weekend, too. My invitations weren’t nearly that cute!
p.s. I was perusing halloween ideas today and ran across your candelabra (that you said got damaged – boo) on someone’s blog, unexpectedly. It reminded me how famous you are, and made me feel so happy to be related.
Andrea Can’t wait to see pics of your costume. Hope your Bash is a Blast!
p.s. that’s so ridiculous! But of course I’m totally happy we’re related too!
Such a good idea! How clever of her!
What a cute idea! I think you may have rubbed off on your daughter!
I think I will find my way to the 99cent store and see what I can find! Can’t wait for Halloween, my favorite holiday too!
Cute cute! Would probably good for V-day too!
