Paper Themes Kids Party Invites Review

C's party is edging up closer and closer and I'm realising just how stressful and costly childrens' parties are!

At the perfect time, I was given the opportunity to review some of Paper Themes' kids party invitations. I opted for the Circus invites, but they do have a great range of birthday invitations. The prices start at £1.25 per unit, I received 20 invites (inc. envelopes) at a price of £25. I realise that people may think that it would be so much cheaper to pop down to the Pound Shop and pick up a pack of paper ones and fill them in yourself but the price is really worth it.

They are really easy to order, all I needed to submit was the child's name, date, time and location of party. You can also add event type, additional info & and RSVP contact email/number.

I patiently waited for my invites to arrive and when they did I was more than pleased (it was actually quite laughable how excited I was!).

(I have hidden the location - no gatecrashers allowed!)

They're a great, thick cardboard and the colours just pop out. They are very, very professional and I couldn't have imagined his invitations being any better than these.

I shared them and had a lot of compliments and people asking where they were from. For any future parties, I'll definitely be reusing Paper Themes!

You can find Paper Themes on their website, Facebook & Twitter.

Papershaker cards / Review & Giveaway

Show me the words 'photographs' & 'personalised' and I know I'll love it.

Papershaker is a new company specialising in wedding invitations, birthday party invites, birth announcements and thank you cards.

They very kindly offered to send me a pack of 10 cards of my choice to review. I decided on a thank you card and chose 'Sweet Stars' as my design. They were really easy to create. I just needed to upload three photographs of C and put what I wanted into the text box. You can even play about with the illustrations! 'Sweet Stars' is a flat card so on the back, you can write your own message (folded cards are also available).

Delivery was very prompt and arrived 2 days later. 

              

I loved them as soon as I opened them and it's quite sad how excited I was about the Velcro fastener!

The quality is fantastic with the front of the card being on photographic paper and the back being normal paper so you can write on it easily if need be!

They arrived with 10 envelopes too so they're all ready for you to put the recipients name on and send them off!

I wish I'd seen this a year ago when C was just born but I definitely think I'll be ordering more to give out after his 1st birthday!

The cards start off at only 65p per card. You can find Papershaker at their website, Facebook and Twitter.
