Almost Party Time!- October 15, 2012
See this? I freakin’ made it ya’ll! I am not a photographer, nor a graphic designer. I’m just a mom trying to be all DIY and not to spend so much on the birthday party this year. Last year I shelled it out for gorgeous 1st birthday invitations online.
This year I lined up Charlotte’s favorite toys and took several shots after the dog licked the toddler and knocked over Burt. I’m proud to say I was able to crop Cookie Monster and Ernie back where they belong. I’m also proud to say my child’s smile is real, and not edited.
As proud as I was of these, after I printed them all off I noticed I probably should have said “Can you tell me how to get to Charlotte’s 2nd Birthday Party?” instead of just “Birthday.” It makes more sense. Then I noticed my epic fail of an incomplete sentence when I wrote “This party brought to you by the letter C and the number 2.” instead of “This party is brought to you by the letter C and the number 2.” After printing, I lost the will to go back and correct it. Our guests will just have to deal with my poor grammar. Oh! I also failed to put RSVP info on there. But, hey, there is a Sesame Street sign with my kid’s name on it. Isn’t that what’s important?
I won’t lie, this shindig will be a straight-up Pinterest fest. Show me a child’s party that isn’t these days.
Enjoy the outtakes. It shows the extent of my work. Tell me what you think of my invites. Happy party planning!
Spread it around:
This is PERFECT! I would not have changed a thing! 😀
Thank you! You know, I scoured websites for the perfect thing, but I thought, “You know. She has her little friends. I’ll use that.”
I might love the outtakes more – but you rock. You have a side-business happening here. 😛
OMG! I would LOVE to make invitations and stuff. Hmmm…dreams for the future.
holy crap your invite looks amazing! That thing looks freakin’ amazing! I love it and I bet if you put in on pinterest, people would pin the heck out of it!
Thanks! I hope so! I’ll pin it soon!
