Toy Story Birthday Invitations

Since the girls' birthdays are only about 2 weeks apart, we'll be doing double birthday parties for them until they get old enough to want their own.  This first time around though, I going to have a few of the "1st birthday" things for Kaylie, like chocolate cupcakes in addition to a carrot cake for Elora and set up a special spot for her with the appropriate decorations.  But for all practical purposes, this year's party will be Toy Story themed. Elora loves Toy Story.

No, you don't understand.  Elora loves Toy Story.  If I let her, she would watch all three movies, in reverse order, every day.  (When she was sick over Christmas, and we let her vege in front of the TV?  Yeah.  All 3 movies.  And the time that she was sick before that?  You get the idea.)

It's hard to say which character she likes best, but I picked Jessie as the central theme for her invitations.  I'm no Jessica, (you really should go look at hers, she designed those from nothing!) but I decided to design and print my own, rather than buying them pre-made. I found this image online, and downloaded it. Now I have to wait for the ink I ordered to get here so I can print them out.


I had a hard time choosing between doing a flat card or folded card, but in the end went with the flat one for the invitation,

 
and made the thank you cards folded.  Now, where is that ink??

  2. Corinnea, Kaylie will be a year on March 10, and Elora will be 3 on March 23. It's insane.

  6. They are so cute! I love the border and background. I think the flat invite was a good call. Then people can keep being reminded of the date and time without having to open it! I am terrible I never got thank you cards out and I still feel so bad about that... I'm really hoping morning sickness is enough of a good excuse! Can't wait to see the party!

    It's funny Buzz light year is the only Disney character Micah recognizes (from our disney trip). (Grandpa has him hooked on looney toons) He still hasn't seen the movies though... might have to see if I can get a break from bugs bunny!
    I know you will do something fun
