Question...

HI decor diva. This is my first time visiting your website but I know it will not be the last. Like you I love to decorate for all occasions.
Well I have a little prob.... I'm starting to plan my little girls 3rd birthday party and have decided to use the CandyLand Theme. I really want to make the invitations myself. What do you recommend I should do for homemade CandyLand invitations? Do you have any ideas on how to make my own invitations fun and festive? What's your pro advise?

Hi Sylvia,

Thank you for visiting with us. I hope you are enjoying all we offer. And come back as much as you like!

I absolutely LOVE the Candyland theme. It is so cute and sweet! And of course I have ideas. I am the Diva you know:)

I'm not sure how crafty you are, but I will try to be really simple and then you can make your invites as elaborate as you like.

Some ideas for invites...

Sucker Invitation

Take a piece of 9x11 white card stock for the base of your Candyland invitation. Fold in half for a large invite or fold in half and then cut in half for small invites. Cut a frame out of polka dot scrapbook paper and glue onto the front of the card. Hot glue a flat sucker in the middle of the frame. Tie a small ribbon around the stick part of the sucker. Add a touch of glue to the ribbon to keep it on the sucker. Write all the candy birthday party wording inside the card.

Candyland Invitation

Recreate Candyland on a card. Find images online and print out. Glue to the front of the invitation.

Candy Jar Invites

Fill a small jar with various different candies. Cut out a piece of scrapbook paper to go around the jar. Write or print all of your Candyland party info on it. Paint the lid a bright color. Secure the label to the jar with tape or glue. You can embellish the label with candy stickers as well. Hand these invitations out personally.

Have a great party!
