On our way to a Wild Rumpus...

It's hard to believe, but we are rapidly approaching my son's 2nd birthday!  Seems like we were just planning a robot party to celebrate his 1st!

Be that as it may, my little love's big milestone is upon us, and I've been busy planning and getting things in order.  Like many others, as I've learned from perusing the blog-o-sphere, my hubby and I have decided to go with a "Wild Rumpus" theme this year.  While some of our other ideas, such as a "Look Whooo Is Turning Twooo" owl themed shin-dig or a construction-themed event were tempting, we're going to stick with a Where The Wild Things Are plan and do it rumpus style this year.

Our precious boy is proving to be so strong-willed, and runs around with such amazingly high energy all the time that a "Wild Rumpus" just seems soooo fitting.  Plus, it's a theme that works well for adults, too, and since we're hoping to make this party just as fun for our grown up friends as it will be for their kids, it just works.

As our invitations are now safely in the hands of our invited guests, here's a sneak peek {click on the picture below to enlarge it}...

I ordered everything I needed for these from Paper Source {envelopes, pre-cut card stock, 1.25" round labels, and their envelope liner template kit} and designed + printed everything from my home office.  I took our Where the Wild Things Are book to a local Kinko's and made color copies that were used for the envelope liners.

You can find the font that was used for the recent WTWTA movie at Scrap-N-Fonts {I downloaded it for $5 to use for the wording on the invitation, and also to address and print the front of the envelopes {not shown}}.

I'm looking forward to sharing more of the details with you after the party!  Look for those the first week of February.
