teen halloween party: day #1 make your own invites

I made these invitations very inexpensively using some pre-cut cardstock from Bazzill Paper. I photocopied the party info and chandelier, used a scallop punch to cut out the chandelier, used a circle punch for the color behind it, and tied some coordinating ribbon on the bottom. I bought the downloadable chandelier image on Etsy from Monique Chvatal for only $2.00. Orange invites for the boys and black invites for the girls.

eco-tip: recycled paper invitations

there are so many options now when it comes to invitations. in a perfect world we might be able to go paperless here, but kids don’t always understand that. and, hello, my mom can’t turn on a computer so she has to be mailed an invite anyway. that’s why i'm always looking for better alternatives, like invitations printed on recycled paper. this paper is from Green Field Paper Company and it's called 100% junk mail. The coolest part is that it's tree free and made from 100% recycled fibers mixed with the junk mail collected by their employees. Love it!
