Unicorns & Rainbows party: invitation

The invitations have been made and sent, so now the rest of the party preparations can proceed!

I'm speaking of Maren's 7th birthday party next weekend, which happens to have a Unicorns & Rainbows theme. A theme that I may or may not have talked her into, because I really wanted to plan a rainbow party! Good thing she's such an agreeable little girl, because my inner 7-year-old self is having an awfully fun time planning!

The invitations were easy--the rainbow paper came from Michael's, and we cut the unicorns using my Cricut (Once Upon a Princess cartridge). We added a gold wing and horn and sparkly iridescent glitter to the pink mane and tail. I typed up all of the party info and printed it out on white paper and glued it to the inside. Not up to my usual standards, but we were having problems with the brand-new printer, so I had to make-do. (FYI, the HP Officejet 8600 WILL NOT print on card stock. #Areyoufreakingkiddingme? That useless hunk of plastic went back to Best Buy the very next day.)

I've been collecting party ideas on a pinboard, if you'd like to see what's inspiring me for this party: Unicorns and Rainbows Party. And if, like me, you just really love seeing colors all lined up in rainbow order, here's a board for that too: In Rainbow Order.
