Halloween Party Invitations

I just finished this year's Halloween party invitations and I couldn't wait to share them.

The invitation text reads:

"Whereas you have demonstrated conspicuous merit in the fields of Exploration and Inquiry,
You are hereby invited to attend
The Royal Geographical Society Annual Gala
To be held on the evening of 29 October in the Year of our Lord two thousand and eleven.
The Royal Geographical Society is a learned organization known for the financing of extraordinary voyages of Daring and Discovery, and dedicated to the scientific exploration of the Earth and Heavens for the advancement of Human Knowledge.
The Gala is to be held at the Explorers Club, a private dining hall and august repository of relics and artefacts, natural curiosities, and the Exotic and Fabulous.

All Matters Discussed and Things Witnessed will be held in the strictest confidence.
For all particulars inquire via Electric Courier to summer.kumar@gmail.com."

Here's the RGS logo I designed, a sextant and a pistol above the motto Turbare Altum (Latin for "disturbing the depths").

Each invitation is packaged in a gold box (wholesale jewelry boxes from North Hollywood's illustrious Box City) lined with scrapbook paper printed to look like an antique map and stamped with red sealing wax (for the stamp I used one of Dev's cufflinks with a Pisces symbol on it*) and a small compass.

Thanks to Dev for helping with the graphic design, the printing, and spray-painting three dozen compasses black! (For some reason, inexpensive plastic compasses only come in pastels.)

*Even though Dev is a Taurus.
