The Busy Budgeting Mama: Vintage Circus Party Invitation -DIY Touches

Sunday, August 12, 2012

I had so much fun creating the invite for the girls' Vintage Circus Birthday Party!

The party invitation is the first detail of the party your guests will see...

So I always love announcing the theme in a fun way!

For the girls' party last year I did a pop up invite like a storybook

since it was a storybook princess party..

that invite had a little map to the once upon a time land. :)

I think I like how this invite came together the best..

The girls LOVED the tickets.. and Sophie played "people" with

all the cut out stickers of her and sienna while I addressed the envelopes.

Circus Invitation Supplies:

(500 count..using at party itself)

--Star Confetti.....Michael's $1.59

-- Invitation....I designed in Photoshop and

printed on full label sheets then attached to yellow

cardstock so there was color on the other side.

(already had card stock and full label sheets)

--Sticker Seals..I designed in Photoshop and then printed onto full label sheets.

--Envelopes...Staples Brand.

I addressed the envelopes with a hot pink sharpie..

and sealed with the sticker.

I had to work in the tutu shots I took of them. ;)

I seriously am in love with the star confetti from Michael's.

I only used a few pinches in each envelope..

so I plan on using the rest at the party. somehow!

What was I thinking?, August 13, 2012 at 4:31 PM: Oh, how cute!!! I'm almost ready to be very bold, invite myself to the party and fly from Europe (where I live) to the USA, just to celebrate this party with you and your girls.
Can you please make a tutorial of how you use photoshop for making those great invitations (or other things you create with photoshop)?
