Jody is Nine, It's Sleepover Time!

Sleepover Invitation: Sleeping Bag & Pillow

When my cousin turned 9, she wanted to have a her first sleepover with all of her friends and my aunt asked me if I would make invitations for her sleepover theme birthday party. Because these invitations would be hand delivered, it gave me the creative freedom to make extra large invitations that were very unique and of course made Jody seem "super cool!" Each girl received a sleeping bag and tucked inside was the invitation shaped like a pillow. The front of the pillow, which had a coordinating zig zag stripe pattern, read: Jody is 9, it's Sleepover Time! The sleeping bag was stuffed with tissue paper so that the pillow shaped invitation remained at the top. Best of all, the sleeping bags were made out of felt, so each girl had a sleeping bag that was the perfect size for their favorite Barbie Doll. (coincidentally they could bring these to the party with them) These invitations were a hit with girls and parents alike, as each girl felt really special when they received the invitation. It was like they were receiving a party favor before the party even started!
