SESAME STREET THEME INVITATIONS

A great party starts out with a fun invitation. If you plan on making your invites, then here's a few ideas for you to consider:

SESAME STREET 1ST BIRTHDAY INVITATIONS - Cut 8 1/2" x 11" yellow card stock into 4 pieces. Type or handwrite party details in calligraphy on piece of textured white scrapbook paper. Cut each finished piece with decorative scissors so they measure 3" x 4 1/2". Glue to card stock. Decorate corners with Sesame Street stickers and embellish edges with glitter. On opposite side decorate with Sesame Street stickers and die cuts of letters and numbers.

SESAME STREET THEME PHOTO INVITATIONS - Cut 8 1/2" x 11" yellow card stock into 2 pieces and fold in half. Using decorative scissors, trim edges of photo of your baby in a Sesame Street character costume so photo is slightly smaller than card stock. Glue photo to front of invitation. Put "Come Celebrate My 1st Birthday!" above the photo. On decorative paper (finished size 4 1/2" x 7 1/2") either type or handwrite in calligraphy the following on left side:

(Baby's Name) birthday is brought to you by the letter (first letter of baby's name) and the number "1."
