My oldest is turning 5 next month! I can hardly believe it. I remember bringing him home from the hospital. Where did the time go?
He has decided he wants a Lego Batman themed birthday party. Yesterday I made up his party invitations using My Memories Suite Software. And here is what I came up with:
The three extra characters in the upper left, bottom left and upper right corners are my son's favorites from the game {two face, man bat, and killer moth, in case you were wondering}.
Funny story:
I originally made the invitation with the Batman character you see on middle left side. I thought it looked pretty good. So, I asked my son if he liked it. {It is, after all, HIS birthday!} He said, "No." So I asked him what should be different. He told me he just wanted Man Bat on the invitation. Knowing that not everyone {or perhaps anyone} would know who Man Bat is, I told him no one would know what kind of birthday he was having if we only put Man Bat on the invitation.
So, we went on the official
Lego Batman kid's website and he showed me his three favorite guys. I found pictures of all them on Google Images and started playing around with my software to figure out how I could make the invitation look right. My son kept coming over to me and asking "How's it going, Mom? Are you getting it all figured out?" It was really cute he was so concerned with my progress. And when it was all said and done, we had a winner!
I am either going to have them printed at Walgreen's as postcards or I may just have them printed out as regular photos and stick them in an envelope. I need to compare costs between postage and all that good stuff. I am hoping to get them in the mail in the next week or so.
I have been collecting ideas for this party on Pinterest. {I know. You are completely shocked, right?} If you click the link below you can see all the ideas I have found! One more reason I love Pinterest - I have everything in one convenient place!
I will keep you posted on how the rest of the party planning is going.
