Ideas and Inspiration for Party Invitations and Favors Project","description":"\u003cp\u003eI’m one of those girls that really, really loves to throw a party… I love making invitations, gifts, preparing food and decorations. The new storage tubes available at \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/the-shoppe-at-somerset\"\u003eThe Shoppe at Somerset\u003c\/a\u003e are perfect for party invites, favors and confetti. The tubes are made of a durable plastic so you don’t need to worry about them breaking, plus they have a secure, screw on lid so the contents will stay in there with no worries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou can use the tubes with just about any color combination you want, I like the simplicity of the black lids on the tubes and wanted to coordinate the tubes with Cherry Divine Twine so I decided to go with a red, black and white color scheme. If you don’t like the black lids you could easily paint the lids or alter them to suit your color scheme. Finding red m\u0026amp;ms wasn’t nearly as hard as I imagined. Depending on where you live this may be a challenge, in southern California you can easily find them at Party Supply stores and major craft stores.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,times,serif; color: #cc8108;\"\u003eInvitation Tubes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The first part of the project was the invitations. I designed my invitations in Microsoft word and printed them out on plain white printer paper. Roll the invites up and stick inside the 1” x 4” Storage Tubes. Screw the lid on and then wrap some Cherry Divine Twine around the top of the tube a few times and tie a bow.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,times,serif; color: #cc8108;\"\u003eCandy Favor Tubes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For the favor tubes I used the 1 3\/8” x 4” Storage tubes and filled them with the red m\u0026amp;ms. I then used the envelope punch to punch a mini white envelope for each tube, and handwrote “thanks” onto each envelope. You can insert a mini letter into the envelopes if desired. Using a very small hole punch I punched a hole in the corner of each mini envelope and threaded through a piece of the Cherry Divine Twine and tied a bow.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,times,serif; color: #cc8108;\"\u003eConfetti Tubes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Most party supply stores have a good variety of confetti styles and colors. I was able to find a large bag of white confetti but I decided to add a small amount of red also. For the red confetti I punched out the holes from a red cardstock using a regular sized hole punch and mixed them throughout the white. I then filled the 1\/2” x 6” Storage Tubes with the confetti.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable style=\"border: thin dotted #990000; width: 575px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"5\" align=\"center\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #98996d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: xx-small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will also\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #990000; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ethis publication:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003e \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/somerset-life\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-87od2q0wh1\/image\/data\/cat\/pubs\/pub-cats\/LFE.jpg\" alt=\"Somerset Life\" height=\"130\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452512985239,"sku":"PROJ-0733","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-0733__08024.1558398960.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746792740","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/free-how-to-project-planning-a-party-ideas-and-inspiration-for-party-invitations-and-favors-project","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
