My soon-to-be 6 year old grandson wants a pirate party at home. What do you think his reaction would be to this kind of invitation?

Karen,
think it would go down a bomb with the kiddies. Maybe you could lighten the grey a touch to make the text stand out more.
Kev:) :)

Karen, Ey mattie, how cute. I'd bet Grandma gets a big hug and kiss for that. I guess Pirates are popular this year with the movie. The other day someone was looking for a pirate map for a Halloween party invitation.

GREAT JOB! Very funny! The smile is awesome (did you make it yourself?). Like kev said only thing I would do is make the text stand out a bit more.

Kim,

Yes, I agree about Pirates being flavour of the month. Leah (daughter) tried her hardest to talk him into having a party at SciTech but he would not budge :( I have to get the okay from grandson yet.

James,

Thank. The funny part is, I tried to make the text look faded :D. No I did not make the face; don't have a lot of time to get it right.

Karen

PS. Have just realised that the smiley video would have been the way to go for the face. K

Thanks Nancy. I don't know if Sam has seen it yet. I sent it by email last night and have not heard from his Mum yet.

Well, I have had some feed back on the pirate invitation and here is the "ready-for-printing" copy

Robyn,

When Leah said Sam (birthday boy) had suggested a) taking the earring off b) changing the colour and c) making the pirate look more like him; my reaction was "I can do that :D". But Leah thought it was asking a bit much :rolleyes:

Thanks for the kind words.

that looks great. Sam will love it and all his friends will be wanting something similar.

Kev,

That is a bit of a worry. On the other hand if they have a grandmother than can photoshop - they too can have an invitation like that :rolleyes:

Karen,

Fun invitation! You could go into business designing invitations for all of your grandson's friends!

Looking forward to seeing pictures from the pirate party next month:)

Kim,

We will not be able to go to Perth for the Pirate Party, so there will be no photos :D I am going up this week to go to the Wildflower display and Sam's school sports day is on and I am going to that.
