Operation Birthday: Minnie Basketball Invitations.




Combining separate twin ideas for their ideal birthday party isn't always an easy task. Last year was easy peasy with the old pirates and princesses routine. This year with Nini's inability to choose - just one- subject for her party, I made the decision for her and used one her favorite past times: basketball. Cici was easy - Minnie Mouse! With this came their birthday party called the Minnie Mouse Basketball Birthday Party. I printed the information for the party on the inside of the card with my deskjet printer. The basketball Minnie Mouse was created using Adobe Photoshop Elements, and the rest was created with ribbon. Now what to do with the rest of their party planning...



Do you find party planning easy or hard?

PS - thanks Leanne for your crafty help! If anyone would like a copy of the basketball mouse head - leave me a comment with your email and I'll send it your way!


Edited:  This is a clean copy of the minnie-basketball invitations which you can easily use for your invitations!  Good Luck!

Adorable!!

I envy you girls that can make invitations, stickers, tags, etc. on your computers. I'm so not crafty or able to do this type of stuff. Maybe someday!

It seems my kids had their share of swim parties. They have birthdays in June and August.

So clever sis!

Now, I can't wait to hear about the games and stuff.

I think the cake should look just like the invites.

So cute! Planning a party is stressful, but for kids it's a little easier. Party's for adults are more stressful for me to plan. :)
