You're Invited...

October is party month for us, and this year was a double whammy!
First, we celebrated Maya's birthday with a pajama party! (I got the template for the invites here.)

Then we had a baptism! I designed the invites and had them printed by Overnight Prints. Super happy with how they came out!
Also for the baptism...I used the same fonts & colors for her programs and then used a corner punch to make them fancy. I also had I am a Child of God cards printed with the Articles of Faith (basic summary of Mormon beliefs) on the back. Overnight Prints will round the corners for super cheap, and I loved the way they turned out. (I also have a zillion left over if anyone can think of a brilliant use for them...)
And last but not least, we'll be celebrating our Simon this week! Since he's such a lover of "noomies", I thought it appropriate to deliver the invites with a balloon. It seemed like a great idea until I had a car full of balloons on a blustery fall day. But it was...exciting! :) We're going with a low-key park play-date party. With lots of yummy snacks, of course!

Don't forget to throw a church trunk-or-treat and a neighborhood Halloween-night potluck into the mix, and you've got one heck of an October party month!

Oh, and let us all remember...my birthday is less than two weeks away! Party on, party on.

I love her baptism invites. How did you find the prices at Overnight Prints. Is it cheaper than some place local.

Do you send them to people you know won't be coming or just the locals?
