About a month or so ago, my sister and I were looking for birthday invitations online for Camryn's birthday party. She found some really cute ones that I decided I just had to have. We're doing a Sesame Street theme, and these invitation had a picture of Elmo with a vellum overlay, tied at the top with a raffia ribbon. I was excited until I started calculating the price and realized it was going to cost $120 for 10 invitations (and I needed 17!). Now, I like to splurge every now and then, but I just couldn't justify that! So, after being bummed about it for a while, I decided to make my own!
I found a Sesame Street picture online and took it to the UPS store to have it nicely printed:
Then printed the invitation on the vellum on a home computer:
Then put them together with some colorful raffia I found at Hobby Lobby:
I thought they turned out looking great, and I was pretty proud of myself!
