Rock-Climbing Party Invitations
Maude's birthday party invitations came out just right. It turns out Maude is a natural and excellent and fearless rock climber. And there can't possibly be a better time to show-off than your birthday party, when the focus is supposed to be all about you anyway. So Maude's birthday will be hosted by the local climbing gym this year.
I printed the invitations 3-up, length-wise on 8.5 x 11 paper, with party details on the back. I used some spare earthy sheets I had on hand, and one pink sheet for the girliest invitees. The invitations say: It would really rock if you came to Maude's birthday party. Invitee names were added with Sharpie.
The gym requires waivers, so I printed those on yellow sheets taken from a legal pad. I thought that was a cute touch (the legal on legal paper) and practical for two reasons: 1) it will stand out from general papers and hopefully won't get lost, and 2) when I went to print the waivers, I was out of regular paper.
The waivers were folded in thirds, stacked underneath the invitation strips, and then attached to rocks (gathered in the backyard) with some twine we use for yardwork. Since most invitees live within walking distance from our house, delivery should be a cinch.

Those are so cool. Really, can you adopt me?
How clever!!!
So clever. What a fantastic invite! And you know how I love the invites.
Amazing - YOU rock, Gabby.
I was going to tell you about Kristi Brook's idea of the rock climbing party (she has great pictures on her blog)... What a great idea.
Love these!!
so awesome. where did you get all the rocks?
These are so awesome Gabby.
nice work gab, these are cool.
I did almost the same thing for my son's rock climbing party two weeks ago, except I wrote the party info directly on the rocks graffiti-style. The party was a huge hit. I made a rock-climbing tower cake that was easy and cool looking.
I love your site!
you are so clever. they turned out lovely!
So awesome, Gabby! I love it. What a fun idea!
The legal on legal is perfect. Thanks for the inspiration!
Another one I missed. Gah! These are outstanding, in concept and execution. Just brilliant. You're such a rockstar ('scuse the pun).
