superhero invites


Finished the Boy's 4th Birthday Invitation last night. 
It's obviously a Superhero theme.
I am super proud of these invites. 
They took only 2 evenings... about 7 hours total manual work, most of that while taking care of the Boy and watching TV at the same time. I think I have over 13 layers of work here. The Batman picture that inspired this invite was a spur of the moment cell phone pic at Wal-Mart - he was goofing around and we didn't even bring the mask home - a lucky shot.
It's a simple party concept...
When the kids see the Splash Pad, Rocket Slide, and Heritage Carousel, they are going to want to play. So we're doing a snack table, lemonade, cake (which I am also making), and gifts. I'm thinking a trip to the Carousel first, then cake and gifts, and then playtime with snacks. Each child is getting a personalized cape as a party favor - which we are also making.
Thank Goodness for Pinterest.
