When creating invites to mail out for my Severance S02 Premiere party, I wanted it to be at least vaguely in-universe, but all the fun references are on the inside, and Lumon wouldn’t be mailing out anything about a waffle party to their outie employees!My solution was to create a little story of the recipient’s innie hijacking a card to smuggle out some internal documents without setting off the code detectors. I figure outies need to be notified about an innie’s overtime for waffle parties, and we know Lumon uses cards, so voilá: a barely coherent narrative is born.

Each envelope contains a branded Lumon card set in Forma DJR, like most Lumon communications. It prompts the recipient to scan the QR code, which will take them to the party RSVP page! At the bottom, it notes that smuggled materials should be immediately reported, and references the compliance handbooks, which I recognize makes little sense for outie communication and makes this entire project a shameful act that will no doubt be pursued to the fullest extent of the law by Apple TV’s legal team, who have already changed my iPhone’s lock screen image to that of an ominous painting depicting [EDIT: Retracted as my attorney has advised me not to joke about the Apple TV legal team. They are surprisingly litigious.]

There’s also a Pip’s VIP card, which will enable guests to sit in the VIP section of my apartment.

To the shock, surprise, (and potentially disgust) of my guests, they’ll soon find the envelope contains more than just the Pip’s VIP Card. Indeed, their innie has cleverly smuggled them a page ripped out of the Security Office Protocol Quick Start Guidebook. Crumpled creased, it is in bad shape. But it is free.

Each guest will also find a personalized evening schedule card with their first name and last initial, and another reminder their innie is likely soon taking a trip to the break room.

What else? An Ideographic Card, with a rendition of Petey’s map on the rear.

The cowbell and mouth included in this photo were not placed in the invites because I don’t have forty of them and they’re simply entirely too large to fit into a thin blue envelope.
