Oh So Beautiful Paper

It feels like just yesterday that Ashley of Lemon and Lavender sent over the bicycle-inspired first birthday party invitations for her son Gavin – and today I have the pleasure of featuring Gavin’s third birthday party invitations!  Ashley decided to have a camp-inspired party in the family’s enclosed yard, then hand delivered the invitations packaged in fun kraft paper boxes.  So cute!

From Ashley: Our family just made a big move to West Africa – I knew I wanted to hold Gavin’s birthday party outdoors as we have a huge lush enclosed yard.  We thought the idea of an African camping safari would be perfect! 

I loved the idea of a camp sign up sheet as the inspiration for the main invitation.  Knowing I had to hand deliver the invitations, as there is no local mail delivery service here, I wanted the invitations to be special.

I found the kraft treat boxes at Shop Sweet Lulu along with the favor bags.  In addition to a checklist for camp I also included a little package of s’mores for each child to get them excited about “camping” in our yard.  I finished them off with a monogram sticker and hand delivered them at the next play date.

Thanks so much Ashley!
