As I mentioned yesterday, April, or as we call it in our house BirthMonth, is nearly upon us. My kids will be 7 and 11 in a few weeks, and I’m not sure how to even process that.
Sam’s celebrating his day by taking a couple friends to a bounce place, but Kate’s having a full-on party. She and her BFF Rachel have close birthdays and they share the same friends, so they’re having a combined pool party together. And, because they are extremely great kids, they are asking the attendees to forgo gifts and instead bring a donation to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation, in memory of both of their maternal grandmothers.
I’m going to be incapacitated in recovery (from surgery, not from drugs) at the time of their party and won’t be able to contribute a whole lot to the day itself, so I offered to handle the invitations.
It just so happened that minted. emailed and asked me to take a look at their designs and share them with you!
minted. has a whole section devoted to birthday party invitations, and there’s a filter function that helps narrow down the choices based on size, theme, price, gender, and age range.
Here are a few that caught my eye:
The bookworm owl has zero to do with a pool party theme, but it immediately jumped out at me because it is perfect for Kate and Rachel – they are both total bookworms and for some reason have a thing for owls at the moment! So cute.
I like that this is pretty neutral in the theme department and that it just looks fun!
This would have been perfect for either of Kate’s last two parties at the skating rink! And they’re slightly nicer than my lame attempts at photoshop.
Until Rachel’s mom came up with the brilliant idea of a combo party, I thought this was in my future. Shudder!
I love this one – it might be a winner!
While I was browsing, I couldn’t help but notice a few invitations that would be perfect for Sam…
Next time you’re looking for party invitations, thank you cards, stationary, decor, or gifts, head over to minted. But beware – everything is so cute that it’s impossible to choose!

I received quite a few christmas cards from people that were from Minted. And I remember thinking they were great quality! I will check into them the next time I need something like that.
I like the invitation with the owl, very cute! Even for a pool party!
