My fiancé and I are huge horror movie fans and this is our idea for our save the dates but I wanna make the finger look as realistic as possible. Any ideas how we can do this?

    They look great! I've seen decorating tips on Pinterest under Halloween decorations

    Thank you! I have that’s where I found these. I’ve seen them made out of playdoh and stuff like that but we want them to have a very realistic look to them

    On Pinterest there are links to how to make them realistic. Paint, etc or try a Google search?

    So I would keep two things in mind:
    1) Boxes will be more expensive to mail
    2) A lot of people, including myself, would freak tf out if I got a realistic looking finger in the mail. You know your crowd best, and it is your wedding, but maybe keep it in mind if not all of your guests do the horror movie thing.

    Well my family and friends know that I’m crazy so it’s kinda expected lol. As far as the horror movie thing goes it’s mine and my fiancé’s wedding and it’s not about our guests it’s about us and our happiness together am I right?

    All of this. Those are going to be pricey to mail and I would be completely freaked out to receive something like this in the mail with no warning

    My very first thought was this seems really creepy and I would definitely freak out if I received this in the mail. While a wedding is about the bride and groom that doesn't mean you should freak your guests out by sending them a fake finger in the mail. I would be worried about what type of wedding I would be walking into as a guest.

    Of course that brings up my fiancé’s joke about our wedding...our guests aren’t gonna know if they’re coming to to a wedding or a massacre lol
    It just goes with our personalities and is all meant to be done as a joke

    I would definitely freak out if I saw this in the mail, but if your family and friends know this is what you and your FH are into, I say go for it. There are realistic looking fingers on Etsy, but they aren't cheap! Couple links for you to check out below.

    That’d be easy to make just make a silicone mold of mine and my fiancé’s finger. Thanks for the better 💡

    I think it is totally fine not to have the whole traditional white wedding and to want to incorporate things both of you like, but I wouldn't do it at the expense of creeping out your friends and family. If I got this in the mail and opened it around my young child, I would be furious.

    I don't necessarily agree with everyone on how this will freak out the people getting them. You and your fiance know your guests and I'm sure they know how you guys are and probably wouldn't expect anything different from you guys. This goes along great with the theme of your wedding. And I think this is an awesome and so original way of a save the date. The only thing I agree with others is that it will cost a lot more to mail to everyone.

    Our friends and family know full well that we’re into horror movies and blood and all that stuff so it really won’t come as a shocking thing for them.

    Will your wedding have a horror theme as well? If I received this in the mail I would definitely expect the wedding to be similar.

    I love this idea. Budget to send the boxes because we sent mini boxes with treats with our STDs and it cost about 5-7$ domestically for about 120 guests. And the three that we sent internationally was about 50$ each.
