As I browsed Pinterest this year looking for ways to decorate our own office for Halloween, I was genuinely inspired to kick it up a notch. In speaking with local businesses and some of our customers, I realized I was not alone.
This year it's all about lavish Halloween office parties with dazzling food displays that are an art in themselves. Pumpkins are no longer just those scary faces that my dad cut when I was a kid. They are also an art form with everything from full portraiture to elaborate Celtic knot work designs.
This year the requests for new Halloween eCards and party invitations were also inspiring and a little unusual. As I spoke with many of our customers, I discovered that a lot of businesses are focusing more on 'pretty' and elegant Halloween decorations over the 'scarier' fare. The traditional Halloween colors of orange, purple and black are still popular but some of our customers are going with a gothic theme.
As a result, our new Halloween eCard line has a bit of a gothic romance flair. We've used deep burgundy and purple with black to create a set of modern, elegant Halloween eCards and invitations.
