Recently, a blog friend asked me to create her daughter's first birthday invitations and I was delighted to do so! Pink with polkadots was the overall theme so we planned accordingly! We started with three so mom and dad could pick and choose and ended up with the below! The client was happy so I was happy!
Again, I used Microsoft Publisher to create the invitation and utilized my wonderful local (and cheap) printer! Very easy and lots less than purchasing these in a store or online! I do not want to come across to my readers that I have formal design training, as I don't. I do however LOVE to create invitations and am always happy to design an invitation, flyer or anything for anyone who will ask! I am obviously much less expensive than a trained designer and so far my clients have all been very pleased with my work!
The invitations debut:
Also I thought it would be fun to mention what my blog friend did for a pink theme. Its always great to learn from others and their party ideas! Everything was pink from the tablecloths to the cupcake icing! Also, everyone was encouraged to wear pink (and I think most did). For the favors she and her husband utilized a family resource (a florist) and had everyone leave with a pink rose in a cute vase.
I think colored themes for parties are really in right now. Rather than a golf or a mickey mouse theme, you can go with something like pink. The possibilities are endless and its very easy to stay within the theme!
If you are thinking of having your own party and need a color or theme suggestion...feel free to email me at beyondplanning@hotmail.com and I would be happy to help! If you have recently had a colored themed party for a child or an adult email me pictures and you may just be featured on this blog!
