lynn in love with 'stache' and bones invites

My little nephew is turning 4 in a couple of weeks! He's a such a smart little cutie and he's super excited about becoming a "big boy".

My sister (his mom) and I were brainstorming on ideas for his birthday... and we decided on a "Mustache and Bones" party. Yeah, not really cohesive, but I think it's going to be great. My father has a mustache, which TJ loves, and he is always trying to give everyone a mustache. Inspired by all the little mustaches that circulating the wedding market right now, I thought it would be super adorable to see all the youngsters sporting 'staches' at the party. TJ is also obsessed with bones at the moment, so that had to be part of the theme as well!

Anyways, I just finished the invites and I think they are pretty cute! All I did was purchase some $1 red and white foam sheets as well as some brown felt sheets from Michaels. I used the red foam sheet as the backing of the invite, and free-cut the mustaches and bones from the brown and white sheets. I had a lot of fun thinking of ways to cut out all kinds of different mustaches so that each invite is one of a kind.

Can't wait to show you pic of the actually party in a couple of weeks!
