Egg Carton Birthday Party Invitation

September 22, 2014 ·

3IMG_0567Oh boy, our birthday is only one week away! We’re having so much fun counting down the days with these birthday-inspired posts and I’m really excited about all the fun ones we have this week for you!

For today’s post, we have these delightful birthday invitations! How absolutely fun would it be to receive a birthday party invitation that’s almost like a present itself? I don’t think a single one of your invited guests could miss out on a party that had this fun of an invitation, just imagine the party to follow!

    Materials

  • Paper pulp egg cartons //
  • Acrylic paints //
  • Invitation printables //
  • Carton fillings (water balloons, party poppers, party blowouts, candy, confetti //
  • Balloons //

IMG_0411 copyI used 6 count egg cartons but I’m thinking you could probably use a normal dozen one and cut it in half {or give a larger, more awesome invite!}. Using acrylic paints, paint your cartons. I gave each two coats.

2You can download the invitations that I used by clicking on the following link, I left the inside blank so you can write on your own details or load it in to a photo editing program and add them there.

download-buttonpinkPrint out onto normal copy paper, cut out and using any kind of glue attach the “you’re invited” print to the top of your carton and the detail-filled one on the inside. Fill your cartons with any goodies you’d like!

IMG_0417 copyIMG_0429 copyI filled mine with confetti that I got from the inside of a party popper, mini water balloons that I used a hand pump to just slightly pump up, some candy, gum balls, mini party blowouts and party poppers wrapped in birthday labels.

IMG_0443 copyFill matching balloons with helium and then use paint markers to write the invitee’s names on the balloons. Tie the balloons to your cartons by slipping through the holes on the top of the carton.

IMG_0462 copyIMG_0464Now your invites are ready to be dropped off at all your friend’s homes! Leave them by the door or mailbox and allow your friends to be utterly delighted upon finding it!

IMG_0568IMG_0590This idea could easily be used for party favors as well. Just create new prints to adhere thanking your guests for attending and then fill with appropriate gifts! You could even house your gift to the person being celebrated at any party in these cartons. A fun way to recycle and so personalizable! Pure delight is sure to ensue from the receiver.
