Wow Thursday has rolled around quickly this week ~ school is back, I’m back at the job that pays the bills, lots to do and a certain little one’s party to organise.
Hence these.
We are having a circus party (which goes with some things that have been happening at preschool – plus it seemed like such fun and there is not many years left where a circus party will be acceptable) so I came up with these big top invites. I love the primary colours of the invites and am so, so pleased with the way they have come up (BIG shout out to Hubby who did lots of cutting and assembling and helped bring the concept to life).
The blue is just the backing and ‘the sky’, a yellow strip pasted on the blue has the party details (with some help from here) and Hubby made a big top out of card, held in place with a fastener to swing aside and reveal the details. (He even cut out the entrance to allow the peek inside ~ so clever!) White envelopes with the names and the big top printed on labels completed the look.
More creative spaces over at Kirsty’s.

Looks like fun. Hiring a clown or is that hubby’s job too?

Those invitations are beautiful! I think they’ll be a hit with the kids – big and small alike! Good luck with the party…
