Dress-up Tea Party Birthday

A super cute invitation for a tea party or dress-up party for your little lady. The invitation is completely customizable with various color schemes and patterns. Email me if you would like a quote for your party.

Please notice a new product that I just started carrying: wrap around address labels!! Add a message as well as an address to the outside of your envelopes. There are 10 labels per sheet and no additional design fee. I can design these for any of my invitations or thank you cards. They work especially well with dark colored envelopes or on smaller sized envelopes when envelope printing is not advised. Pricing depends on quantity needed. Email me for a quote.

On a personal note: When I was a little girl, I had a birthday party just like this one. I clearly recall dressing up in my mom's fancy clothes, complete with a giant hairpiece from the 70s. My mom made a fabulous cake with little favors baked right into the middle. I had "tea", peanut butter and honey sandwiches (no crust, cut into triangles), and cake with my best friends...also dressed to the nines in their mom's clothes.

It was a fabulous party and I believe there are some great mid-1980s photos as a great memento. I'll have to see if my mom can dig a couple out and I'll add them to this post!

CARS Birthday Invitation Suite




Apparently, if you do a Google search for "Cars Birthday Invitations" and look in the images, you can see a picture of the invitations I designed for Connor's 2nd birthday and a link right to this blog! (At least that is how I found it when I did a Google search.) This really excites me!

I learned this because I've had 3 separate requests for Cars invitations customized for their sons in the last 3 weeks. These wonderful new clients don't know me at all (or anyone else that knows me...to my knowledge). Two are actually international!

I've broaden my product line for this set. If you are interested in these cards for the birthday party you are hosting, please send me an email including the products you are interested in and the quantity needed. And if you can dream up something else you would like that I might be able to make, let me know...I'll see what I can do!

Please keep in mind that the invitation also comes in a double sided version with a character coloring sheet on the back. Regardless of size it is 12¢ more per invitation for the coloring sheet. Click here to view.

There are 16 cars in a full set. (Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks, Doc Hudson, Fillmore, Flo, Guido, the "King", Lizzie, Luigi, Mack, Mater, Ramone, Red, Sally, Sarge, & Sheriff) You are welcome to request which cars are used on your invitations. There is not an additional fee for using one or all.

—— U P D A T E ——

Since Cars 2 has now been released, I am now offering a design that is more reflective of the theme of the 2nd movie. Click here to view. When ordering, please specify if you prefer the Cars 1 or Cars 2 design! Thanks!

Spiderman Birthday Invitation

It was great fun designing a customized Spiderman birthday invitation for Grant's big #4! This is available as a single-sided invitation or the double-side option (shown above) with a coloring sheet on the back (similar to the Cars birthday invitations). These can even be customized with the recipient's name the coloring sheet to make them even further personalized and special.

The coordinating thank you cards are approximately 4.25 x 5.5 fold over cards and come with white, red or black envelopes.

I have other Spiderman designs also available if you are interested in a similar product for your child.

Beachy Floral — Save the Date


I am very excited about this entire wedding suite. The save the dates are just a preview to a coordinating invitation for a fun, destination, beach wedding!

These save-the-dates are 5 x 7 postcards printed on a 15 pt. cover stock, coated on one side for added durability in the mail and I will be printing addresses on the cards after I get them back from the printer. (I am very excited about this as I just tested it out yesterday!)

I particularly like the fact that they wrote the date of their wedding in the sand and I am able to use it as a subtle texture on the back side of the card!

It has been a joy to work with this bride and her mom and I can't wait to see how everything turns out!!
