Celebrate Celebrate Celebrate > We're Having A Party!

We're so excited - we're having a party!  There's nothing we like better than parties.  There's party food, party drinks, party decorations, party favors, and party clothes and party shoooooes.  We like all parts of the party.  Ultimately the party starts with the invite, (well, technically it starts with the reason for the party)  and that's what this post is all about - the invite.


You know that we are having a wedding in our family.  Mr. 2Wicked will soon have a wife!    The Future Mrs. 2Wicked (FM2W) is having a bridal shower, actually she is having two showers!  What a lucky girl! You might not know this about the Glossy Flossy's but we have a large family made up of Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles and cousins, so we like to have a family bridal shower (that way we don't overwhelm the bride's friends with our large, loud, and unruly clan.)  The other reason we like to have family bridal and baby showers is so the two families can get to know each other a little bit more (and the other family can see first hand what their loved one is getting into.)  We also like to include close family friends cause we all know some of our friends are like family!


Okay, enough  about that and back to the invite.  We like to design and personalize our party and our invite around the person that we're having it for.  Miss Angela came up with the concept of "Rebel Housewife" - you know how I loooovvee the Housewives of Beverly Hills - and we were off to party land.


Take note everyone with Facebook accounts:  I started by taking three pictures of FM2W off her Facebook page.  I knew she liked these pictures because she put them on her page.  I made it into a large invite so it would fit into a legal size envelope and use a regular stamp to mail because we're cheap frugal like that. 


The invite looked okay but the photos needed a little pizazz because we're not about "okay", we're about "fantastic."  Miss Angela found this great site called BeFunky.com.  She took the photos and gave them some pop art pizazz.  If you haven't seen this site, be sure to check it out.  It is very easy to use and FREE!


Okay, drum roll please.  This is how what the photos looked like:

Just kidding!  Were you scared?  Okay for real this time - this is what the front of the invite looked like:

The back had all the details and we used a little bling with some self stick gems in the middle of all the stars.

Watch for the photos and details from the bridal shower.
