Unique Invitations Part II

When it comes to invitations....I really love to send the unexpected to hype up my events. I am known for sending the most unusual things in the mail! The greatest thing is the post office will mail it....they will give you funny looks....but still mail it. When I come in to mail things now, my post office personnel seem eager to see what I'm bringing. You don't need a box .... just mail. A couple of examples are:
~a black and yellow Nerf football with party details for Superbowl party
~a coconut for luau theme party
~a pamper for baby shower- "you're invited" on clear sticker paper-put party details inside...tape sides...postage on back and mail!
The next 2 ridiculous invites (ridiculous is my word for "over the top great" are from BK Designs.
Invitees received a personalized candy kaleidoscope packaged in a silver tube with a candy DOTS label. Peering through the kaleidoscope, invitees saw a photo of Jenna surrounded by gumdrops and jelly beans. The outside wrapper had the party details.




This invite is an actual glass plate with faux milk & cookies! Attached to the plate was a note to Santa letting him know the party details. The mailing label was a large 4 color gingerbread man with festive red and green stripes.

Betsey Johnson printed her invitations for her fashion show during NYC fashion week on an oven mitt.....mine must have gotten lost in the mail???This adorable circus invite was created by Enchanted Expectations!! This chick is super talented!! Also, she just posted the most adorable baby shower...check it out! The invite included a clown nose and lollipop!
A simple invite turned unique by adding raffia and cowboy boot!Pinwheels are all the rage in kids parties now! This cute invite is from cardshoppe on Etsy. This could also be a great DIY project! Just use the scrapbook paper to match your theme and add party info.
Cute way of announcing your fiesta!! So think outside the norm and be totally unique and I guarantee nobody will want to miss your event!

  1. I love the baby diaper idea for an invitation. It would be such a hoot to get one in the mail.
    Great Blog!

  4. I feel like such a loser in the invitation department! I not only have never sent anything like these...I've never gotten any like these. Love them!
