to a tea party!
It's official. The guest of honor has received her invite in the mail, so let the posting commence!

Now, I can't take full credit for the design. While searching Google Images for "tea party invitations," I stumbled upon an invite that got my creative juices flowing. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find that site again.
To make the invites, I used my trusty Paint Shop Pro (since I don't have Photoshop), Google Images (to search for the lavender clip art), leftover envelopes from our wedding, and cardstock that I picked up at JoAnn Fabrics. Gotta love those 40% off coupons!I printed two invites per 8.5" x 11" page, used my paper cutter and an exacto knife to cut them out, and my bone folder to help create crisp folds. The final invite dimensions before folding was 3" x 10".
To attach the tea bag, I used my new favorite gadget, the Tiny Attacher by Tim Holtz. I then used my exacto knife to almost completly cut out the square under the flap like a real tea bag would be.
I didn't think I'd ever love an invitation that I made myself more than our wedding invites, but this one comes in at a very close second place!
Here's one final look at all the parts of the invite...with all personal information removed of course! :)
