By Invitation Only

by Leslie

Julia is turning four next Tuesday and has requested a princess party with her playgroup friends to celebrate. I asked her what makes a party a princess party. She said, “A princess cake and princess balloons.”

I can do that, I think.

And so, we made invitations.

After we printed them, we dipped each paper in cooled tea for about ten seconds and dried them with a hair dryer to give them that old parchment paper look and feel. Then, we rolled them up like scrolls, tied them with ribbon and hand delivered them. “Because it’s princessy,” Julia said.

Now why can’t I think of stuff like that? Greyson’s 4th party is next Saturday and we are having a race car themed party/mini festival at our park. However, nothing is hand made. It’s all cheap plastic from Oriental Trading.

Hope Julia has fun and Happy early bday.
