I admit, I LOVE throwing a party!!! So we have been planning, and planning, and prepping and planning some more. Mr. Two wants a dinosaur party. He asks me daily about his "Dinosaur Birthday". It's really very sweet.
I just finished the invitations for his party, so I thought I'd share them with you all.
They're simple, but really cute. And he couldn't be more enthusiastic about these paper dinosaurs...he just doesn't understand why we're giving them away. Ha!
Two little notes about invitations...
- I always make a point of saying whether we will serve food or simply dessert on an invitation to one of my children's parties, so that parents know how to plan accordingly.
- For those of you, like me, who make your invitations, it's always fun to use a unique font. I created the font that I used on these invitations from my own handwriting! You can go to this website for the template and instructions on how to create your own free fonts! It's so much fun!!
EDITED TO ADD: I was just informed by one of my readers that the fonts on this website are no longer free. They are now $9.95. My apologies. When I created my fonts several months ago, it was a free service. Still, as far as font prices go, $9.95 is not a bad deal. :-)
And don't forget Friday is the Frugal Friday Linky Party here at the Shabby Nest! Can't wait to see all your Frugal OCD* goodness!! *Obsessively Consumed with Decorating!

Super-cute! And I like the new header/banner.
love it, Wendy - your font looks SO much like mine, we have similar writing - I had to look twice at your super cute invites!

I love it!! Very cute design, not to mention your awesome rhyming skills!

Those invitations are TOO cute!
I don't mind the bloggy deviation, I find inspiration in everything. :)
I am making my daughter's invitations this year too and it has been fun! I do try and say if we'll be having food too because people do like to know that information. You invites are adorable and I love the fun wording.
Your party invitations and party ideas are always so creative.
Darling!!! Oh i love the theme and the font is perfect! It's going to be a roaring good time!

Super cute invitations! I love the rhyming! You're the best at making everything extra special for your little kiddos! They are very lucky to have you as a mom!
How cute! Happy birthday hugs his way!
what timing! My Bub is also turning 4 soon and he loves dinos! May have to borrow your idea. Not sure how as we will be combing TWO birthdays...our oldest daughter Peanut turns 11 just 3 days after Bub and they want to share the party. LOL
I went to the site, but it's not free :( After showing the preview and clicking the download button, I got a message that it's $9.95 to purchase it.
Lisa...I'm sorry about that...it was free when I did it. But it has been a while...
Too cute! When my oldest son turned 5, we did a dinosaur themed party. As a kindergarten teacher, thematic parties were right up my alley! One of the games we played was like Mother May I--except I inserted allosaurus hops, pteradactyl leaps, etc. Y'all have fun!
Hugs,

No problem :)
Those invites are so darn cute!
Oh, Wendy, I love to throw parties too so it excites me to see your ideas for parties. I loved your lego party and now the dinosaur party sounds so cute! The invitation is adorable. Mr. Two sounds like a real sweetheart!
p.s. your blog banner looks great. isn't it fun to "decorate" a blog? : )
What an adorable invite! Love those polka dots.
So stinking cute!!!
love them! soo cute!
Hi! Visiting from DIY day - Super cute! I love making our own invitations. We also had a four year old dino birthday party this past may for our eldest. Hope ya'll have a ROAR'N good time! ;)
Too cute! I plan on making decorations for my son's first birthday. We are going with a cowboy theme.
Those invites are so precious!
Adorable! I feel inspired to party like a dinosaur now :)
So cute!
I just finished making a bunch of Cowboy & Lone Ranger invites for our little guy's 4th birthday coming up!
I didn't have any wording nearly as cute as yours!
That's an adorable invitation! I'm about to start planning my soon-to-be 6 year old's birthday party. It will be his first kid party so he's over-the-moon excited.
You've inspired me to do the invites myself.
Things are looking a little different over here! I wasn't sure I was in the right place at first. I like it!
This is adorable! I always make our invites too, and have to think of what we'll do this year. ;)
sweet invites.
