An invitation to Hogwarts and maybe a family shirt for the Wizarding World?

[coastgirl]

Hi everyone. Our trip appears to be back "on" and I've got just three weeks...

Which means I might actually be able to surprise the kids. (I cannot keep a secret! ) I have this idea that we'll get them in the car to "go visit nana", then give them an "owl post" inviting them to Hogwarts. (Like Harry got in book 1. ) Does anyone have something like that? Even a good Hogwart's letterhead and direction to a font...

No idea what to put on shirts. Maybe some simple Gryffindor crests, or something with the family name.

I did a search to see if I could find who's done or is interested in HP stuff, but I didn't get many hits, and if I start looking through all the work I'll just get caught up in the fun of looking through everything...so if you could send me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Help!!

We wrote letters to the kids and put them on parchment scroll printer paper that we found at a craft stor. We sealed the envelopes with a melted red crayon. They flipped out! Soooooo excited! We copy and pasted the hogwarts crest at the top of the paper, then found the Harry Potter font to write this:



Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

Amy, MWAH! I copied this already, it's perfect. I have some nice vellum-style paper stock already, it'll be perfect.

Minniefaye, I'll go have a look at Amy's stuff too, Lego HP is a fav here. (We play the Hogwart's lego game all the time--I thought it was gimmicky and overpriced, but thank goodness Santa over ruled me and brought it anyway!)

Youe welcome My kids loved it I even put a signature where McGonagal's name was. We had some left over white Christmas card envelopes....if you put them in the oven on a very low heat it will give them the aged look like the ones in the HP movies.

My 7 year old had a Harry Potter birthday party. Here's a link to the invitations we made. I glued feathers to the invites, too. We dropped them off in people's mailboxes because we couldn't send them through the mail.

That looks awesome, Raidra!

You could also do a "train" ticket for the invite. I think the second picture is a ticket.
