Autmn Leaves

• One of the quintessential elements of the fall season are the brightly colored leaves. Red, orange, yellow and purple leaves are synonymous with fall and, as such, serve as an ideal element to feature on invitations for a fall event. Create invitations that actually look like leaves on fall-colored card stock. Cut the leaves out and print the information regarding the affair on the front or back of the leaves. Alternatively, you could choose paper that features fall leaves as a border or as a central image on which to print party event information.
  
  

Pumpkins

• Pumpkins are another element that are associated with the fall season. To create a pumpkin invitation, purchase small pumpkins, print affair information on small pieces of card stock and attach the card stock to the stems of the pumpkins with raffia, Of course, these invitations will have to be hand delivered. Another option for a hand-delivered pumpkin invitation is to purchase pumpkin treat holders, fill them with treats and attach card stock printed with party information to the handles of the holders. Alternatively, use craft foam to create a pumpkin or a jack-o'-lantern on the front of a piece of folded orange card stock.
  
  

Halloween-Themed Invitations

• If you're hosting a Halloween party, consider creating a spooky invitation that ties in with the vibe of the holiday. Fashion gravestone invitations by drawing arcs on pieces of gray or black card stock. Cut them out and print "RIP" or a clever epitaph, as well as the details for your party along the front of the shapes. For a life-like ghost invitation, lay a white cloth napkin on a flat surface and write the details to your party around the rim with black marker. Place the napkin on top of a foam ball, ball of paper or lollipop and tie a piece of ribbon or filament just under the baseball-shaped object. You can hand deliver this invitation or send it in a padded envelope.
  
  

Thanksgiving Dinner

Create a handprint turkey by covering the palm of your hand and your thumb with brown finger paint and cover each of your remaining fingers with fall colored finger paint. Press your hand onto a piece of card stock to create the image of a turkey's body, and use markers to draw a beak, feet and a waddle. Write the details of your feast on the turkey using markers.
