Pirate Party Preparations Part 2 – Invitations

September 5, 2012

My kid’s birthday is fast approaching. We did the invitations today.

The cards were shop bought (actually found them on sale and all), had a picture of a pirate skull and treasure chest. Then to give it that little extra touch, I used the seal I got for my birthday as a teenager. My kid relished putting the cards in the envelopes and selecting crayons, while I was on candle duty. I melted drops of crayon mixed with drops of candle wax onto the envelope, waited 5 seconds, lay the seal upon the wax, waited and voila. I was a bit amazed at how quickly we managed to do them, though, and how focused my kid was with her envelope task, because there was a whole bunch of them (only a few pictured below).  They really do grow up fast…
