Rainbow Pizza Party: The Invitations (2015)

I just a couple of short weeks, Baby Girl will be 'graduating' from Kindergarten! 

(I'm just now starting to get comfortable with the fact that she is in kindergarten, and here she is almost done!)

Baby Girl has done an excellent job with her first year of school and we are very proud of her. She deserves a celebration, so I asked her what kind of graduation party she would like.  Her response was to have a 'rainbow' party with grilled cheese, Doritos, pizza, chicken nuggets and corned beef......(corned beef????  Hahaha!)  We ended up settling on a rainbow party with pizza and Doritos ;)

Once our theme and menu was decided it was time to start planning!  

Mamaw purchased the rainbow decor party items (which I'll be sharing with you soon-thank you Mamaw!) and I  got to work designing a rainbow themed invitation.  Check it out:

Step 1:  Invitation Wording

The first thing I did was to figure out what I wanted the invites to say.  I did some Pinterest searching and combined a few different ideas to inspire this verse.  

I typed them up and printed them out before trimming them to size.   The selective color printing is my favorite part:)

In case you can't read the wording in the photo, here it is:

Step 2:  Scrapbook Paper

The next thing I needed to do was to figure out how to make the invitations more rainbowy...(that's a real word now, you heard it here first!)  

I searched through my scrapbook papers until I found this bright and colorful sheet - perfect!

 Step 3:  Glue & Glue & Glue :D

I lined the wording sheets up on the scrapbooking paper and glued them down.  

(Don't worry about the excessive margins at this point, once everything has been trimmed down it will be awesome)

 Step 4:  Trim

You can see here that I went back over each invite and trimmed down the rainbow paper.  It gives the invitations a much cleaner look.

 Step 5:  Stuff

When I was looking through the kids craft bin for the glue, I found this left over rainbow confetti and added it into the envelopes.  I think confetti adds a festive and fun touch to any invite.  Now when the envelopes are opened, the party begins ;)

And there you have it; cute and simple rainbow invitations.  I hope you enjoyed this rainbow party post, come back soon for the rest of the celebration!

Thanks for stopping by!
