So, I decide to throw my husband a surprise sports themed birthday party. The only glitch was I had just about 3 weeks to fully plan and execute it. Yes... 3 weeks. Now, more miraculous feats have been accomplished (I am sure of it), but there was one snag -- we were going on a 2 week vacation. On top of that, half of our time away we would be completely disconnected from all phone and Internet access. HOW was I going to do this? Well I knew what had to be done first, a killer sports party invitation was needed.
Thankfully I was able to enlist the help of a very talented designer, Kori Clark of Paper & Pigtails. I'll be honest, at first I was worried she might not "get" my vision. I didn't want a kiddie invite and of course nothing cheesy. I just wanted... well... I wanted... I had NO clue. I was absolutely no help in conveying what I was looking for. So, how did Kori respond? She said "I got this." And overnight she had sent me a proof of the best invite I could have imagined (had I actually imagined it).
Here is the proof she sent me (front):
I just loved by the use of fonts here! Check out the rest of the details (back):
All the party details were cleverly incorporated and I loved it! Here is an images of the print version:
Thank you to Kori of Papers & Pigtails for your amazing custom work!
More party details coming soon so stay tuned!

My daughters vintage themed 16th birthday party is next week and I went on vacation for 3 weeks last month and now I am quietly panicking (well actually NOT that quietly!!!). Love the invites.

Those are some great organizational skills. You were right though, with a tight timeline and part of that time being incommunicado, it was absolutely necessary to find someone dependable and talented and then delegate.

Thank you so much for sharing and your sweet words, Tori! I had so much fun working with you on this!
