For Friday's birthday party I wanted to do something that was really simple and casual. But I still needed to have some type of theme; I feel that they help party plans come together more easily and cohesively. I decided to have the invitations say, "since he's our favorite, we're throwing him a party" and go from there. He loves to play games, so we did a game night. The menu was a compilation of some his favorite foods: Philly cheesesteaks, root beer, artichoke dip and brownies.
A gathering of favorites equals a guaranteed good time. Added bonus: it was low maintenance. I love how easily and quickly game nights can be thrown together. I put together this fill-in variation of our invitations for you to print out and use for your next get together. Grab a couple of your favorite drinks, some finger foods and pass these out to your neighbors or friends. Then let the good times begin!
Such a good idea Mer! Love the invites. And perfect for Craig. Wish we could've been there!
