One of the things I force (as in make the time for) myself to do, is create my son’s birthday party invitations! I just can’t allow these special moments to escape me, and I seriously have so much fun putting them together. This year, we chose do do a ‘carnival’ theme, complete with popped popcorn in ‘real’ popcorn bags, snow cone machine, and carnival games such as balloon toss through a clowns nose. It added to the experience, as my son was so thrilled to help me do so much this year! needless to say, we had a great time!

This invitation is printed on a grey white, with a platinum silver, then hot orange borders. All the corners are rounded, and each invitation had a fun carnival themed accent on top. I saved the carousel horse for him, since he loves horses! The envelope was an electric blue, and instead of sealing it as I would a normal envelope, I wrapped around a printed band, containing the guests name on the front and my return on the back.  I just loved making these & can’t wait to make the next ones.:D
