Invitations
Part of my weekend agenda was to get invitations to send out for Skylar's birthday party. I found some really cute ones last weekend that were shaped like pj's, but when I went to order them, I realized shipping alone was going to cost $9.00. I was only ordering like 12 invitations. I thought that was a little absurd. I looked at Hobby Lobby and a few other places, but found nothing I liked. I was also cutting it close time wise to order something else online. I'm not a creative or crafty kind of person, but I decided to try to make them myself anyway. I think they turned out okay. I couldn't put as much wording as I would have liked, but I think the main points are covered. She wanted a pajama party and a zebra cake like mine, so I thought her in her zebra pj's would be appropriate for the invite. More importantly, I saved myself about $30!

Great job!! That is so cute! Is it just a 4x6 picture?
ReplyDeleteYes, but I had it printed at Kinkos on cardstock in a 3.5 x 5.5 size to make it look more invitation like. I was also able to print more per page that way.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the invitations and the pajama theme! Super cute!!!
ReplyDeleteSooo cute! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! Seems like that would be a cheaper way to go for Christmas picture cards too? What site did you use...picnik?
ReplyDeleteThe invitations are super cute! That is a great picture of Skylar too. I am very impressed! love you.
ReplyDeleteJessica-good thinking on the holiday cards! Yes, I used picnik. Thanks for telling me about it, I use it all the time.
