So..it is that time of year where I need to step it into 7th gear to plan and execute my oldest son’s birthday par’te.  This is a busy time for us since my partner is crime has two birthday parties to create for her lil’ buddies.  In fact, we just finished up her son’s 3rd birthday party,  it was an “Art Party”  mostly focused on painting.  She is working on getting the pics, but here is a peek into the colorful celebration from last weekend…

So for Brandt’s 4th birthday, I am spinning off of the whole camping theme and utilizing the time of year.  His birthday is mid May and the school year is coming to a close.  A time when school is out and kids are ramping up for all sorts of summer camp activities.  I went to summer camp as a kiddo…a super fun memory from my childhood that I am hoping to recreate for Brandt for this next party.  Here is the “prelim” invite we are using as a jumping off point.

Here are some ideas for the party:

cardboard canoe races

art center – make tie dye t-shirts

fishing pond

horseback riding

picnic style boxed lunches

s’mores kits

I have also enlisted one of my gal pal’s son to play the role of the camp counselor.  We will set up a registration area to welcome the campers and play off of the nostalgia of summer camp.  Stay tuned for more details as it quickly approaches….WEEEEEEE!!!!

We often get many requests for custom invitation designs.  Sometimes the inspiration comes from a board on Pinterest, a magazine clipping, store window, kids bedding, etc…the list can go on and on but the designing process has to start somewhere.

Here is the latest custom request.  A dear, longtime friend is having a baby and needed invites.  She picked a stock design from our shop that she liked but…when we found out she was designing her nursery around the Hayley Collection form Pottery Barn Kids we knew that this had to be a custom invite!  Here is what we came up with.

Here is another one we also fell in love with…

Our very sweet, long time customer Carey of Cravings sent us her party inspiration…here is a peek at her Pinterest Board

and here is the design we came up with…

Super cute, right?  We will have to post pics from this ADORABLE party that Carey threw for her darling daughter VERY soon.  We adore they way these inspiration pieces translated into invites for such special occasions.  Both design just might make their way into our Etsy Shop!
