Non-Disney birthday invitation help

[Mom 2 Two]

Hi guys! I am helping plan my niece's 13th birthday party. She and her family have had a rough year (divorce) and we want to make this extra special for her. I am having a spa party for her and her friends with facials, manicures, and pedicures. We are trying to keep costs low, so does anyone have a template for an invitation I could print out? Her name is Katlin the party is June 6th, but we haven't decided what time yet. I could add that part in later, either before I print (if I can figure out how to do that lol) or I could write it in after. OR does anyone have any website recommendations for printable invitations. I haven't been able to find much myself, but I am sure the sites are out there. Thanks so much!!

to cute!!! we must have posted at the same time.

send me a pm with your email address and I can send you a word document with some great spa ideas and pictures for decorating...if you want them.

you could make water bottle labels to match the invitations or color themes.

I liked Wendypooh's polka dots so much I thought I would play around with mine to learn something new in photoshop. Just in case you like this it is 5.5 by 8.5 inches. If you want to use it, let me know the specifics of the party through a pm (once you decide on the time) and I can change and send back via pm. If you print it in word, you may have to right click on the picture. Then go to the "format" tab at the top of the screen. Scroll down and right click on "picture". Next click on the size tab and make sure width is 5.5 inches and height is 8.5 inches. You can buy white envelopes at Walmart that are 5.75x8.75 that will fit this size.

If you like Wendypooh's that is great as well...hers is cute.

Just thought I would show you an example of a water bottle wrapper. This would fit an Ozarka Water Bottle...size should be 10.5 inches wide by 1.75 inches tall. All you would have to do is trim along the edges and ends. Then wrap around the bottle and use double sided tape to attach:

Just having fun trying new things in photoshop...here is a tag that I thought I would attempt for favors:

These are super cute!

I just wanted to give Mom 2 Two an idea for printing. You could have them printed at your local (or online) photo processor. I just did it for my DD's 2nd bday (Thanks to Milliepie for the cute tink design). I printed on 4x6 with the LUSTRE (not glossy) finish. I mailed them like that, but you could glue them to a colored heavy card stock with a 1/4" border to dress it up.
I print at costco for $0.13 but think walgreens is only $0.19 each. Either way it's pretty cheap for invites!

If you want to do that (at least on mine...not sure what size Wendypooh made hers) let me know so that I can reformat it to 4x6 since it is currently 5.5x8.5.

Wow!! These are all so cute! I knew you would come through for me! I will see my sister-in-law this weekend and we will hopefully decide on a time and which of these awesome invites she likes best. I really like all the polka dots. Thank you all so much!!

I love party planning...so here is a cute idea for party favors and/or something the girls can wear during the party as they get their pedicures is flip flops. I believe Old navy is having a $1 sell this saturday on solid color flip flops. I saw a commercial yesterday and I'm pretty sure it was Old Navy...call before you go just to make sure. Also, you can get inexpensive ones at Hobby Lobby. You could leave them plain or you could decorate them or have the girls decorate their shoes as a craft project with big flowers to match the party theme (like a pink gerber daisy), they can tie deflated balloons or ribbon around them...the list is endless. Here are a few websites of cute ideas:

If you decide to do this get everything ready for the girls to make their own. If you make them with fabric have it precut to where the girls just have to tie it to their shoes.
