baby shower invitation

here are the invitations for the shower my friend, rachelle, and i are throwing for our friend, DeBran.  at first she wasn't going to find out what it was..but then she gave in and found out she's having a boy!!  the theme is gender neutral..but obviously will be more catered around a boy now!  i am so excited for her..and for her shower!  more details to come...

my sister, melissa (my invitation maker now..haha) created the invitation and then i had them printed at kinkos.  i think they turned out so cute.  thanks melissa.  i just snapped some pics as i was addressing them.  i probably should have just scanned them in..haha.

the address labels

the sticker on back

invitations are out.  the shower will be here before we know it! :)

ornament exchange/cookie party invitation

it's that time of year again...which means it's time for my annual ornament exchange/cookie party!  i always look forward to a night of just hanging out with the girls, enjoying the holiday, good conversation, lots of treats to eat and the ornament exchange (which is always so much fun).  this year, my sister, melissa, made the invites for me and they turned out so cute (disregard the sticker looking things to block the address..haha!).  if you would like to purchase some just like these visit her etsy store here. :)  happy holiday party planning!

halloween party invites are out!

melissa (my sister) created these adorable invitations/stickers for us!  

address label on the front...

sticker on the back

and of course a magnet was attached to the back :) love the way they turned out!

thanks again, melissa! :)

candyland invitations!!

here are the invitations for ella's upcoming candyland party! melissa was so nice to design, make, and put together these invitations for me! i absolutely love how they turned out...i keep telling her she needs to start designing and selling invites to add to her etsy store! :)  

so i was so excited to finally get to send them out...and then about 4 days later, i got atleast half of them back..half ripped, half with writing and tape saying postage due :(  i totally forgot that because they included sticks and are not bendable, they wouldn't go through the machine..which meant twenty more cents!  ahhhh!  such a nightmare.  so, as of right now, most people don't have their invite, some people managed to get their invite, some people managed to get their invite after paying the mailman twenty cents, melissa got hers after the post office ripped open the front envelope and tore off the stick!  unreal.  i am so sad.  especially since it's like a week away!  oh well!  what are you going to do?!  

anyway...here they are...as they should have arrived! ;)

it's a big lollipop...

and you flip up the front flap to reveal the information...

on the back she attached a magnet...

to hang on the fridge!  that's where all of the invites i receive go! :)

she also designed stickers for the envelope...here's the back!

and here's the top of the address label.


thanks again melissa for all of your hard work on these! they turned out perfect! :)

now if only everyone could have received them as they should! haha.  you live and learn!  hopefully this will be helpful information for someone else!  learn from my mistake!

update:  melissa is now making and selling these invitations in her etsy store!  yay!  go here if you would like to purchase them!
