Chilly Chili Party

So excited to be hosting a dinner at my house next weekend for some friends in our neighborhood.  Check out the invitation and menu!

 

Going to be a fun night!  Can't wait!

Caroling Party Invitation

Rudy and  I are so excited to host our neighborhood's 2nd Annual caroling party.  I had some fun putting together the invitation. 

 

These will be printed on card stock, hole punched in the corner and tied to candy canes. I can't wait to make the other printables for this party for the food, a bunting for my mantel and hot cocoa bar!  I love the little trees!

CHEAPEST Party Invitations EVER

I posted a week or so ago my design for Reed's birthday party.  I finalized the design and was pretty excited about my first attempt at creating a custom invitation.  It looks a little blurry here but the final product is clear as a bell.  I created the invitation in publisher and saved it as a PDF.  The printer was able to work with my publisher version though.  In order to get the bleed he had to move my document over to photo shop and actually print it on a larger sheet of paper.  Next time I will know to do that to save my guy the hassle.

I purchased blue invitation envelopes from Office Depot for around $7.  Want to know my total price?

I was able to print 40 invitations (2 per piece of paper) for $15!  $22 for everything.  When have you ever seen invitations for less than a dollar apiece?  I used my local International Minute Press which is on South Blvd here in Charlotte.  Very nice guys - Bob and his son Jeff.  I know that the other IMPs are pretty reasonable here in town too.  It is a franchise so you may want to check them out in your area too.

So excited for Reed's picnic in a park party!

Reed's Birthday Invitation

I cannot believe that Reed is going to be 1 in less than two months!  My little guy is growing up!

Here he is at the beach...I know I am partial but he is such a cutie pie.

I have started planning his birthday party and have decided on a Picnic in the Park theme.  There is a great little park just down the street from our house.  Not only will we have the playground as entertainment, there is a Frisbee golf course for the big kids. 

I started putting together his invitation and this is what I came up with.  Can't wait to put all the details together for this special party!
