Evelyn&#8217;s birthday was in January and I added a simple embellishment to the envelopes inspired by the design on her invite from Pear Tree Greetings. Taking inspiration from the invitation itself gives your guests a feel for your party and their first impression as to what to expect while there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/party-invitation-envelope-diy3.png\" alt=\"party invitation envelope diy3\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>Sweet little sister child&#8217;s birthday is right after the holiday craze, which I&#8217;m usually still recovering from. Thankfully, Pear Tree makes invitation choosing easy breezy with a variety of choices that you can swap out the colors on to match your party theme. For Evelyn&#8217;s girly tea party, I loved personalizing <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.peartreegreetings.com\/Stationery\/Party-Invitations\/2775-13361FC-Strung-with-Surprise--Surprise-Birthday-Party-Invitations.pro\" rel=\"nofollow\">these Surprise invites<\/a> in deep purple and pink and a photo of her famous crinkle nosed smile.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/party-invitation-envelope-diy1.png\" alt=\"party invitation envelope diy1\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>Pear Tree also offers a variety of colored envelopes for your to choose at a small additional cost. Or you can choose an ecru color (at no additional cost; included with the purchase of your invites). I knew I&#8217;d be adding some fun to the outside of my envelopes, so when I saw the purple, I needed them in my life. The circle punches are also a Pear Tree Greetings exclusive item from their <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.peartreegreetings.com\/Kids-Cards--Kids-Invitations\/Kids-Party-Decorations\/index.cat\" rel=\"nofollow\">party decorations<\/a> line where you can also choose custom colors at no additional cost. With every party I host, I order these without fail because of their versatility. From hanging them above the dessert table to using them in centerpieces, the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/party-invitation-envelope-diy5.png\" alt=\"party invitation envelope diy5\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/party-invitation-envelope-diy7.png\" alt=\"party invitation envelope diy7\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/party-invitation-envelope-diy9.png\" alt=\"party invitation envelope diy9\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>To compliment the gold foil design in her party cut outs, I found some gold washi tape and added it in a simple stripe to each invitation. If I weren&#8217;t so short on time, I would have also printed the addresses in a gorgeous calligraphy, but I barely got these out in time as it was.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/party-invitation-envelope-diy10.png\" alt=\"party invitation envelope diy10\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>Excuse the nails in dire need of a manicure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/party-invitation-envelope-diy11.png\" alt=\"party invitation envelope diy11\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p>The finished product is a simple and elegant invitation that would brighten any mailbox it ends up in.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/party-invitation-envelope-diy14.png\" alt=\"party invitation envelope diy14\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/party-invitation-envelope-diy12.png\" alt=\"party invitation envelope diy12\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<h2>Be sure to check out <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.peartreegreetings.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Pear Tree Greeting&#8217;s<\/a> wide variety of stationery, invitations, party decor and more <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.peartreegreetings.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">on their website<\/a>.
