Sand, Surf and Treats for a Great Summer Birthday Party

5/17/2017

1 Comment

 
Sunshine, sand, surf or waves in the pool, kids loooooove the water in the summer.  

If your child's birthday is during the summer months, planning their birthday party can be as easy as combining food, games and water.

If you're lucky enough to live by the ocean, sand, surf, sunshine and plenty of sunscreen are the main ingredients for a splendid birthday party for any age.

If you have a backyard swimming pool, add some kids, some pool noodles, silly games and you're set for a day all can enjoy.

If you aren't by the ocean, a lake, a pond, a river or have a family or community pool you can use, how about a slip and slide? A lawn sprinkler? A blow up pool? 

Kids and water are a great combination for summer time fun for the children as well as the adults.

First Communion Invitations

2/16/2015

0 Comments

 
A first holy communion is a special occasion that deserves to be celebrated with family and friends.  Make the occasion memorable with stylish first holy communion invitations.  

You will find a variety of unique, exclusive communion invitations in beautiful muted colors or on vibrant shimmery papers, invitation designs with crosses, chalices plus bread and wine and invitations that reflect your traditions and faith.

Most first communion invitations also have matching thank you notes to express your appreciation to your guests for their participation in your child's first taking of the sacrament of holy communion.

  • When to Order:  As this is a formal occasion, you should send your invitations 3-6 weeks in advance.
  • What to Include:  You can start your communion invitation wording with a bible verse, favorite quote or simply "You are invited to..."  followed by the date, time, location, reception information and rsvp phone and/or email address. You can also use a response card instead of including rsvp information on the invitation. This is a good choice if you need your guests to make a meal choice for your reception.
  • First Communion Favors:   First communion party favors are a fabulous way to thank your guests for attending your event and simple, colorful or elegant boxes or bags can turn an ordinary treat into an extraordinary gift.

Who Do You Invite to a Graduation Party?

3/5/2013

Who do you invite to a Graduation Party? | TheInvitationShop.com
Every graduate will have a list of “must invite” people and that's a good place to start when planning your graduation party guest list. 

How do you decide on who to invite?  Make a list of:
  • your child's school friends
  • girlfriend / boyfriend
  • grandparents
  • aunts, uncles, cousins
  • extended family
  • church friends
  • sports friends
  • club friends
  • job friends
  • teachers
  • coaches
  • neighbors
  • review your holiday card list to see if you missed anyone

Once you have your guest list started, the most important thing you must do is pick a date for your party. While this may seem easy, consider the end of school will be filled with other friend's graduation parties, weddings, and summer vacations, so the earlier you can decide on a date, the better. 

Graduation Announcements and Graduation Party Invitations from TheInvitationShop.com
A crucial aspect of picking a date is to make sure the most important people in your child's life, grandparents, best friends, and other relatives, have the date open. Make sure everyone has the day off work, including the graduate, your spouse and your graduates significant other! Make sure best friends' parents don't schedule their party the same time as yours as everyone will be disappointed, your party mood and turnout and will suffer or may even be cut short to accommodate other events.

You may want to consider mailing Save the Date Cards eight weeks or more in advance of your party so guests can mark their calendars. Parents that also have a child graduating will appreciate the heads up to avoid scheduling their party at the same time and making graduates and friends choose which party to attend. If you have people that won't come to the party because it's too hard for them to travel, consider sending graduation announcements to them instead of an invitation to a party. 

Your graduate will be talking about graduation on social media and at school, so be sure to include your child in all areas of party planning so your party will go smoothly and they will not miss out on important events or friends' parties they might not have told you about yet.

Remember, your graduate is going to be busy with their friends at their graduation parties and you will probably be invited to several of them too, so be sure to leave time in your schedule to relax and celebrate this milestone in your child's life.
