BIRTHDAY PARTY!

-invite-

I photograph my family and develop @ Sam's Club

This was the invite and photo we gave out.
I printed the invite at home, mounted on some burlap squares
and tucked into an envelope.
Evites are clearly much easier & cheaper,
but I'm old fashioned and visual and tactile and sentimental
AND....forgetful.
So my mementos solve all my issues lol

A welcome for our "campers"

and

Worst thing aside from having no guests

are BORED guests lol

(I've respected privacy concerns with some of the guests, so you won't see any haha)

Movie viewing

Baby M and Baby M!

Friends from the start,

almost 3 months apart,

and share first/last initial.

The last two are purely coincidental but not the friend part.

We've known mommy & daddy since THEY were teens in the youth group we led.

We witnessed the dating,

proposal,

wedding,

baby shower,

first birthday...

We're family!

I didn't have a photo booth area and truthfully I can't remember why

but that didn't stop the family photos.

Green lunch bags- Walmart Xmas clearance/ Labels- made @ home & glued/

Smores made @ home in oven

As guests left, I handed out thank you baggies for each family

with a few premade smores.

Unfortunately the chocolate was distorted somewhat

 BUT still yummy!

What's next?

More birthday parties!

It's what I got :)
