Invitations~

I know my blog has been a little short on the decor-related posts this week...my apologies to all you decorating-obsessed types - like me - who come here for a little inspiration. But I have a good excuse. (I always have an excuse - but this one is a good excuse.) You see, Mr. Two has a birthday coming up. And he is a little bit excited. Yeah, that may be an understatement. He is a lot excited. He is turning four, and this is the first year he really "gets" the whole birthday party thing.

I admit, I LOVE throwing a party!!! So we have been planning, and planning, and prepping and planning some more. Mr. Two wants a dinosaur party. He asks me daily about his "Dinosaur Birthday". It's really very sweet.

I just finished the invitations for his party, so I thought I'd share them with you all.







They're simple, but really cute. And he couldn't be more enthusiastic about these paper dinosaurs...he just doesn't understand why we're giving them away. Ha!


Two little notes about invitations...

• I always make a point of saying whether we will serve food or simply dessert on an invitation to one of my children's parties, so that parents know how to plan accordingly.
• For those of you, like me, who make your invitations, it's always fun to use a unique font. I created the font that I used on these invitations from my own handwriting! You can go to this website for the template and instructions on how to create your own free fonts! It's so much fun!!

EDITED TO ADD: I was just informed by one of my readers that the fonts on this website are no longer free. They are now $9.95. My apologies. When I created my fonts several months ago, it was a free service. Still, as far as font prices go, $9.95 is not a bad deal. :-)

And don't forget Friday is the Frugal Friday Linky Party here at the Shabby Nest! Can't wait to see all your Frugal OCD* goodness!! *Obsessively Consumed with Decorating!
