Penelope’s Would-be Birthday Invitation

Pingg and the telephone were a great back-up plan for Penelope’s invitations, but I just still was a little sad that I didn’t have the time to make her a more personalized invitation. But if I had time, here’s what it would’ve looked like. . .

These invitations were inspired by the square petal envelopes at Paper Source (I’m in love, seriously–Paper Source is my favorite). Well, I didn’t have a chance to use these invitations, but if you have something coming up, Penelope’s fill-in-the-blank invitation is available for download, right here!! For free*.

Melissa, did you know that they’re putting in a Paper Source at Town & Country Village? Like, right across from where I work? I am SO DEAD.

Jess Jones

Linked to this! Thanks!

michelle

THanks so much! This is such a cute invitation.

elizabeth

Saw this on a link… and these are so awesome! I’m going to use them for a bridal shower I’m putting together. Question – did you mail these as is, or with an envelope? I think this is such a stylish way to skip the envelope, but would hate to have the post office not process them.

Amy

These are perfect. Thank you so much :)

These are cute. I would like to use them for my after school students to make cards. Is there any way to print these with out the writing on the inside? I would like my students to be able to use them as an “any occasion” template. Love your site. SO helpful and informative, very detailed, simple projects for adults and school children. Thank you so much.

I absolutely LOVE this!! I plan on using this for my sister’s bridal shower invitation. But is their any way that I can type my wording onto the invitation instead of writing on it??? And also, if their anyway to take off the RSVP part and leave just the line there??
