Invitations.

It is almost August. And that means Niamh's birthday is right around the corner. She was born on 8/8/03 at 8:08 in the morning...and this year she's turning the big 8. (I need to play a round of 8's that week in the lottery!) The child plans her party theme all year long. It really is a continual point of discussion:). She really enjoys a big shindig!! I thought she was going with a Narnia theme. However, that seems to have been scratched. We were talking about making a concrete decision while doing errands the other day, and finally (finallllllly!) decided on a nerd/book theme. The child loves to read and my love of all things nerd/geeky has apparently rubbed off on her. Because she asked me to draw her up in big geeky glasses for her invites:).

This is my prototype. Yes, I am insane when it comes to invitations. I make highly specialized prototypes to see if they 'work.' This one passed the test:). A little book. With a nerdy corner bookmark inside. I got the thumbs up from Niamh. So, off to Michael's tonight to grab a few more embellishments to complete the set of them.

I think they will be adorable. Each one is unique, so she gets to pick who gets which bookmark:). I can't wait to get the decorations and favors. Thinking storybooks for the kids. It's better than candy (I guess;). Now I just need to figure out where to have it. I wish we could borrow a library for the day:). Or Barnes and Nobles. Although, I know for sure we'd get kicked out. Phil and I both have fun, high volume families:). Not bookstore material, really:).
