Ten Years for Techguard

What a reason to celebrate! This company has been around TEN years in two thousand TEN, so the party's on December TENth, from six to TEN and I think they just might be tasting TEN wines! Congratulations! And doesn't that wax seal just make the invite so fabulous, if I say so myself?

Cookie Exchange and Christmas

Christmas and cookies go together like Thanksgiving and turkey. It's a tradition in so many homes this time of year and once again I've had the pleasure to create a Mother-Daughter Cookie Exchange invitation. It's a similar creation to the gift bag invitation in my last post. Thanks to Paper Source for the gingerbread wrapping paper and baker's twine that covers the "box" of cookies. Well actually, the box with tissue and an invitation inside!

Let the parties begin!

LOVE being busy with Christmas party invitations! And I fell in love with this lovely paper from Paper Source that is red with gold-ish/khaki-ish vines and white accent flower buds. I've used it twice so you'll see it again in another post soon. It's a nice twist on Christmas colors without going crazy! For this invitation I decided it would be a fun and casual gift bag that the invitees will open. In my pile of gift bags to reuse I've got a few that have a cuff at the top of the bag so this is my rendition of those.

Bag Some Treats!

Last weekend was chock full of parties. When Halloween falls on a weekend it opens up three days of party opportunities. The aforementioned pumpkin carving party on Friday night and then costume or otherwise parties on Saturday and Sunday. And when a couple boys are turning into official teenagers (and I mean 13!) their birthday party just had to involve tricks and treats. Not only did I create the invitations but the take home favor/treat bags too!

Detail Follow Through

From the invitation to the thank you note, I love it when a theme and color scheme is woven throughout an event. A charming detail to this 50th birthday party is the name tag that doubles as a wine glass identifier. On the reverse of each tag is a quote about friendship which serves as a nice conversation starter for guests that might not know each other. I was so pleased that the birthday girl wanted me to create thank you note-cards for her that would match because, well... that's Detail Follow Through!
