By invitation only....Ü

I had been planning the girls bday party for awhile now...ever since my mom was in town and we had such a fantastic time Circus. I wanted to put together a Carnival themed party...oh I had big dreams!! But problem after problem started coming up with the DATE to have the dang thing! So, I finally decided on the morning of October 18th....THEN I find out, thats the date of our Primary program practice and presidency meeting. URGH! Seriously upset and decided just to NOT have it. BUT...I kept going back, that is Aube's actual bday, and her 1st bday was so lame, I am embarassed. So I wanted to do something special. Since the day will be quite hectic, I just decided to have it in the afternoon with a basic decorating job, decent food and....a bounce house. Cause I LOVE FLIPPING BOUNCE HOUSES. Yes, I do. I may have to sneak away and WORK, but oh well...

I was more disappointed that I couldn't use this invitation I made...cause I just love it so. But I wanted to do something different b/c there will be nothing like a carnival going on!
Instead, I made this....which I am quite happy with...I found this cute font on Fonts for Peas. I might have Bella water color it...cause I think it would look cool...but we shall see...gotta send them out tomorrow!

I'm so excited! It's gonna be a blast....I even have a guy in the ward that might let me use his sno cone machine!

What cute invitations!! Jon turns 40 in a year and a half and I kinda wanna do a carnival theme too. Not sure if I can pull it off though. Because, 2010 is a HUGE year, we have like 6 major events coming up. Maybe I should become a party planner?

Oh! That looks so cute! Sucks that you weren't able to use the carnival one, but at least you get to do some sort of party, and I bet it will be great!
