a “3” birthday party - invitations

It’s time for Mills & Cellie to turn 3!  Didn’t they just turn 2?!  We are going on year number 2 of combining Mills & Cellie’s party and it works so well we may just continue it (forever)  Here are some photos of the prep work.  We decided on the theme to be 3 because 3 year olds love to tell you they are 3 and well, honestly..i couldn’t think of anything else :)

I printed the invitations on card stock: the bunting lines and the words.

My good friend Molly (cellie’s mom) so graciously obliged when I came over to her house and dumped 500 triangles out to glue on.  She didn’t even complain – she’s the best :)

I am SO excited to have a party supply supplier in town :)  Sweet Melissa from M.B. Strother Designs is now carrying the cute divine twine along with gift bags and other goodies.  Check them out here

I used double sided tape and hot pink paper to pin down the back of the invites

The final invitation:

I hand deliver all of mine but Melissa said the little bags could be used as envelopes as well, just tape them closed well.

I sent this next picture to Arre because you can only look at flag cupcake toppers long enough to realize a) who cares and b) the 20 minutes i have wasted on this has go to end now.  She quickly picked the second from the right.

And did you know that Martha Stewart labels are at Staples now?!  I am way too excited about this and spent way too much time browsing the small section dedicated to her.  Yay Staples!  These were for the treat bags.
