Mr. Messy: Birthday Invite Year 3


When Hendrix turned 3 we had a messy party. I’m totally cheating on this one because I had very little to do with the design process here. In fact, my only contribution involved formatting the party details on the back of the postcard invitations; not very exciting (and yes, I am a big fan of postcard correspondence. I once designed a postcard wedding invitation—at the bride’s request, can’t beat the cheap-o postage).


Hendrix designed the rest of the invitations himself by painting a unique image on the font of each card.


After all the invitations were dry, I helped Hendrix stick white Avery labels to the font of each card that said, “Let’s get messy.”


This party was Hendrix’s favorite to date—with certainly the best designed invitations to date. I loved each and every one of his creations.


By the way, if you ever host a messy party for your child you absolutely must have a kiddie pool full of wet spaghetti noodles, your kids will think you’re the coolest parent in the world and all the neighborhood children will agree.

Amazing invites! Listed down all the requirements of a perfect bridal shower. Also the budgeting is done and only the suitable places for party are NYC wedding venues nearby. Will be convenient for all friends and cousins. Hope my sister feels special getting the surprise. Yellow or purple lavender shade will be the best.
