It’s Time for Graduation Invitations and Announcements

Sunday, March 4th, 2018

Dropping your graduation party invitations in the mail might be one of the best moments of your life.

Graduation Party Invitations and Thank You Notes

If you are mailing invitations to the actual graduation ceremony, they should be mailed 2-4 weeks before the event. If you are mailing graduation announcement only, be sure to send them up to two weeks after the ceremony to friends and family who are too far away to join you but would want to share in the news of your accomplishment.

As most schools limit the number of guests you can invite to the actual commencement, having a party after the actual graduation date allows the graduate to celebrate this special moment with family and friends.

If you are planning to have a party or reception to celebrate, you can mail invitations to that event that can also serve as graduation announcements or include them as a separate invitation in the envelope with your graduation announcements.

As you’ll be sharing the graduation season with your child’s friends and other graduations, sending a Save the Date card might be a smart thing to do.

4th of July Poprocks Firecracker Cookies

Sunday, June 11th, 2017

4th of July Poprocks Firecracker CookiesWhether it’s for Memorial Day or the 4th of July, we seem to be on a mission to find the coolest red, white and blue, items and ideas to celebrate America.

I have to say, the Pop Rocks Firecracker Cookies are a hit with kids of all ages!

Not sure what Pop Rocks are? Ask any kid and they’ll tell you all about them, in great detail.

These might look like pretty cookies decorated with cute little sprinkles, but wait until you bite into one!

The unsuspecting guest that mindlessly pops one these babies in their mouth is a sight to behold.

The ensuing Pop Rocks explosion deserves a spot on candid camera.

Decorate your favorite cookie recipe with a touch of frosting and sprinkle with red and blue Pop Rocks.  (Strawberry and Watermelon flavors are red sprinkles.)

 

TIPS:

  • The moisture in the frosting will make the Pop Rocks start popping, so either put less frosting on or wait until you are about to serve them to frost and add the Pop Rocks.  My cookies could be heard across the room popping away right after I frosted them.
  • If you want to keep it a secret that you’re using Pop Rocks, put them in a container or plastic bag if you’re adding them to your cookies later or away from home.
  • If you live where it’s humid, your Pop Rocks might all be popped out before you can serve them.  By the next day, the Pop Rocks added flavor to the cookies, but sadly, no popping.

Blue and brown are popular colors for a boy’s first communion.  Adding in hints of green and white with your party decorations creates a beautiful soft and elegant look to your event.  The Brown Cross invitation is printed on shimmery paper and comes with matching shimmery envelopes (available in other colors.)

We love these dessert ideas and the mints with bible verses printed on the packages are a nice touch to your tables.
