| DIRECTIONS: |
| 1. Download this invitation template. Bring it into your word processing program and add all the details you'd like. Be sure to repeat this for both the top and bottom template | |
| 2. Print the invitations onto the translucent parchment and cut each around the border. | |
| 3. Roll the invitations from both ends until they meet in the middle. | |
| 4. (optional) If you're using sealing wax, drip a few drops onto the crease of the roll and let it harden. | |
| 5. Once hardened (or if not using wax), loop the length of black ribbon around the rolled invitation and tie into a bow. | |
| 6. Gently tuck the rolled invitation into the finger area of a finger puppt bat. The best price we found on finger puppet bats was $3.29 each at Act II Books and Puppets in Langley, Washington. | |
| 7. Once the invitation is inside the bat finger puppet, roll the bat's wings around itself and tie them neatly with a length of red or crimson ribbon. | |
| 8. Your bat messanger is now ready to be put into an envelope or hand-delivered to your guest! |  |
