One site gave me the idea of including scuba divers, too. This works perfectly since there are several boys attending. The very first few Pinterest ideas that I've been working on (with the help of my Mom- Ms. Pinterest herself) are for the invitation and a party favor.
The invitation is a compilation of several pins. Sarah B gave me the idea to do a message-in-a-bottle invite, which I love! We worked on the wording and my mom worked her magic. As a result, we came up with this as the invitation.
Supplies:
Message:
Dive deep into the ocean blue,
with mermaids and scuba divers, too.
Here we will celebrate under the sea,
as Miss Sadie is turning three!
Insert (plus crushed shells, pearls, & tiny seahorses):
*Instagram effect makes this appear more vintage than it actually is.
Finished product (kind-of):
I'll mail each family a plastic message in a bottle with the invitation. I hope the kids get excited about Sadie's upcoming birthday party!
Next, I saw this pin and fell in love.
It's not near as a easy as it looked, though! I followed the directions here, but found that it took a TON of time. Not sure anyone besides Sadie will be wearing a koi fish in their hair! :-)
SOOOO much to do before her party. It's going to be the best one yet!
How can I complain about things you do if you say nice things about me? STOP you are spoiling my fun! I still think the bottle will break during mailing but what does a Mom know anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I am sitting here reading your blog and remembering the day you were born - YOU ARE AN AWESOME DAUGHTER and PERSON! Now lets get back to normal so I can complain about something. Mom
ReplyDeleteOh my, LOVE it! What a perfect theme! The kids will be so excited when they get their bottle in the mail. I agree, throwing/planning parties with an endless budget would be so much fun. Looking forward to seeing the photos from this one!!
