Handmade Party Invitations

Harper's third birthday is next month. This means I need to start the party planning process. I make a big deal out of the kids' birthdays. I want everything from invitations to thank you cards to be perfect. Every year I vow to create my own invitations, and every year the send out date creeps up on me before I've had a chance to get creative. Last year I ended up buying blank invitations at a paper goods store and using my computer and printer to layout and print the type. They were cute, but in the end, I fell short of my own expectations. This year, I promise, the invitations will be handmade.

Here are the supplies that I've purchased.
