Invitations to a Summer Gathering

[Jodi1980]

I make up our block parties invites to be given out to all the neighbors - for Christmas, I roll them and tie them with ribbon and attach a small wreath or some little bells.

Any suggestions on what I could attach to the invite for a summer party with swimming, fishing and volleyball to be planned?

maybe get a plastic fish?

Or little nautical theme? The dollar stores around here have shells in a bag...

I saw a really cute idea in Nick Jr magazine for a kids party (it'll work for a block party too...) Buy a bunch of cheap beach balls (most places have summer stuff on clearance now!!), and write on them with permanant marker (you would probably only have room for the basics, date, time, RSVP phone....) and then send them out (deflated). The invitee will then have to blow it up to get the info for the party. I thought it was a great idea, but I don't have a kid with a summer birthday....
