Dalmatian Dog Bone Invitations for Liam’s 2nd Birthday

09.29.2012 by Leah //

When my nephew Liam turned 1 in October last year, his parents threw a cowboy-theme party for him and his guests and I made the simple, Western-style invitations for them.

This year Liam will turn 2 and he will celebrate it in school with the Dalmatian dogs as theme.   You see, Liam loves animals, and is most fond with “Aw-Aw” – a dalmatian dog stuff toy given to him by his Ahma (grandma) Helen.

So his little celebration at school will have a dalmatian dog theme.  Again, I was “commissioned” to do the invitations for his classmates – all 6 of them – plus his 3 teachers.   There were lots of Dalmatian-dog inspired invitations online that I could use but I thought a dog bone invitation would be cute, just like this one from Bliss Party Designs:

Using my left over craft papers, I designed a dog bone, and kept the text simple so that it will not appear “crowded” inside the dog bone.    I used bright colors for the outline (instead of red in the sample invitation above), which would match Liam’s school colors.

Here they are before I cut the outline in different colors.

Nice, aren’t they?

It’s a good thing I have enough red ribbons in my stash to tie around the dog bone invitations.  The printable tags from Wilton (left-over stuff from my wedding) also came in handy.

I wrote the names of Liam’s classmates in the printable (name) tags:

I tied the name tags into the dog bone invitation using the left-over red ribbons.

Ta-da!    Here are the colorful (Dalmatian) dog bone invitations for Liam’s classmates and teachers, ready for distribution  =)

I had fun doing this (I love paper craft projects!) and I hope Liam and his classmates will like the invitations I made for them   =)

It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
