A Unique New Year’s Eve Invitation Made of Dollar Store Materials

Catherine Romano blogs about crafty projects for kids and parents

When hosting a holiday party, creating an invitation is usually the first step. The party invite sets the theme and mood for the festivities and sparks excitement and anticipation for guests.

Because this is our first holiday in our new home, I wanted to do something special for our family-friendly New Year’s Eve party invitations. The invite had to be festive and playful, yet still design-savvy and affordable. I made a quick trip the dollar store, and found some fantastic materials.

My materials:

A natural wood, cylindrical container ($1.25)
Party popper ($1 for 3)
Party horns ($1 for 4)
Bubbles ($1 for 4)
Sheet of paper to write out the party details (date, time, location)
Fine-tip marker

My process:

Fill each container with the materials, include the party details.

Label the invite and deliver to your guests.
