Fresh Fridays- New Fire Truck Invitation!

What little boy wouldn't love a fire truck themed birthday party? When a customer asked me to create an invitation matching this theme I was excited to give it a try. This customer had used our popular cupcake invitation for her daughter's 1st birthday so she requested a similar format for the fire truck invitation.

Here is how it turned out

I hope you like it! I am hoping to have our 2010 Halloween card gallery complete for next weeks Fresh Friday. Can't wait to show you what I've been working on!

New Invitation designs added to AddieKate.com

Recently I have done several custom photo card designs for a few new birthday party themes.

I designed a fun cupcake themed invitation that featured four photographs. I love the way my client incorporated the cupcake theme in the photo.




I liked the modern layout so much that I used it as inspiration when another client requested a pirate themed photo invitation. Again I love how the theme is incorporated in the photo.



Lastly I designed a custom bumblebee photo invitation. The idea of having your child holding numbers to spell out their age is just precious!


All of these invitations have been added to my invitation gallery that you can view here.

A friend of mine shared some great photos from her daughter's cupcake first birthday party so I'll start with some of the adorable ideas from her bash.

One of my favorite ideas from her party was the decorate your own cupcake bar. What a great activity that you can set up and guests can do at their leisure. Below is a picture of the bar and one of the finished cupcakes.

Once you have slected an invitation your next stop can be celebrate express. They have cupcake party supplies galore! Plates, party favors, hats piñatas, you name it and they probably have it.
