Real Nerd Girl Sh*t: How I planned my Severance themed party

A step-by-step guide including templates for invitations, videos, key cards, and more.

Welcome Refiners, if you’re here from my viral Severance themed party video - welcome! . If you use any of the resources in this post, please kindly credit me (J. Lopez) or the originators of the resources I utilised in the templates. (Also, there’s an instance of profanity in this post)

Resource Post Preamble

So long story short, I had reduced my birthday celebration options down to two:

1. Go to an escape room with friends and have dinner after

2. Throw a Severance themed party

Being a classic nerd, I geek out on shows that I love - and so I chose to hold a small Severance inspired party making most of the props from scratch because I was not going to pay $23 each for a Lumon keycard on Etsy when I could make it myself.

I had such fun researching and planning for this party so I decided to share my process for fellow fans of the show. In this post you’ll get the resources/links for assets I’ve either created myself or sourced - for all and any assets you use from this post please kindly credit me (J. Lopez) or the original creators (hyperlinked).

Before you start, it’s best to have a familiarity with Canva as all of the templates I’ve created are provided on that platform. All templates are hyperlinked throughout this post in red.
