Assemble the Minions!! {DIY Birthday Invite via PicMonkey}

Seriously. Can not even believe the month of May has almost

 

come and gone!! In just two short weeks my little man JJ will be

 

turning the big #2!!

 

Not sure about you but I am a sucker for a great party and I take my

 

birthday parties very seriously!!

 

Call me crazy but my planning begins well in advance... roughly four or

 

five.... ok six months out!! I love coming up with a theme and bringing it to

 

life!! I'm pretty sure I get this from my mom.... Now that lady knew

 

how to throw a party! She planned our 250 guest wedding in less

 

than four months!! She was amazing and I share her love of party

 

planning and wouldn't have it any other way!!

 

If you missed JJ's 1st Birthday bash you can find it here!!

 

Today I'm going to give you a sneak peak of JJ's 2nd birthday party....

 

I created the invite for his party on the photo editing site PicMonkey

 

using this simple photo taken with my iPhone this past Halloween....

 

 

As you probably already guessed, it will be a "Minion" themed party.

 

I don't want to give away too much because it's still a few weeks away, but

 

here is the invite I created using PicMonkey.

 

 

 

I love how this invite turned out!! To me the invite is the most

 

important part of throwing a great party. It sets the stage for your

 

theme and it's a great way to get your guests excited about the

 

events to come! I always loved getting invites to parties as a kid and

 

still do as an adult. This invite was so easy and it didn't cost me a dime to

 

 create!! I had the invites printed via Smartpress.com. There are tons

 

 of options and the customer service is top notch!  I communicated

 

everything through the website and via email. I even used the left over

 

envelopes from the Valentines we created making this the easiest and most

 

affordable invite ever.

 

I could have just emailed these, but I just think it's so fun getting an

 

actual invite in the mail.... And who wouldn't want that cute little minion

 

on their fridge??

 

Thanks for stopping by!! I'll be back tomorrow with this weeks

 

Wednesday Wish List!!

 

Have a great night!!
