I used the photo for the outside of her invitation which is an actual box of Crayola crayons. I will mail as is. You know me...I love to think outside the box...well in this case inside the box! So people won't think I'm crazy for mailing just a box of crayons with my cutie pie's picture on it ~ I put for them to look inside for details to Maddy's 3rd birthday party.
I used the box of 8 crayons for the invitations and used a free label template I found on Chica and Joe website for the crayon wraps. I just updated the text on each crayon wrapper to include my party information. I cut out each label and matched it to the corresponding crayon color. I did not bother removing the original wrappers from the crayons. The template includes 6 of the colors...I just put the brown and black back in the box as is. I used glue to put on the crayon wrappers but you could use your Xyron machine or sticker paper.
Here is the back of the invite. In the open blue space is where I am putting the return and guests addresses onto clear labels. I will have the post office put the postage along the bottom. My post office personnel crack me up ~ every time I come in they all gather around to see what crazy invitation I'm mailing. Then they want details of what I'm creating~ I don't think the other customers are quite as amused! Here is the invitation template download here. So much more to come....
cute!
