This is a continuation post of all things Bluey's birthday! InvitationsWhat's a Bluey birthday without invitations? I am basically obsessed with this "new" way of doing invitations. This is definitely a trend I am late hearing about. Canva invitations? Here's the deal...Etsy has all sorts of pre-made themed invitations that you can download. You open them on a free Canva account and can edit the details that pertain to you. The ones I did for Teddy aren't on Etsy anymore, but there are so many to choose from. There are even video ones! This was helpful because I could simply send the invite to friends and family. We could also print out the invitations for his friends at school whose contact info I didn't have yet. Balloons!If you've ever made a balloon arch, you know they are some serious work. If you've ever made a balloon arch without a balloon machine, congratulations, you're as crazy as me! I didn't even know they made these balloon machines. I got one on a whim on Amazon Prime Day. Oh my goodness, it is AMAZING! My fingers still hurt from tying balloons, but not as badly as they used to! Next, you really have to commit to the Bluey color scheme. We bought TWO balloon arch packages - one for the balloon number and one for the arch. Package 1: My problem with balloon arches is that they always fall from the ceiling when I try to put them up, so I had this really great idea of how to create a balloon arch backdrop for pictures. I got this clothing rack from Ikea for $9.99 and got some zip ties from Dollar Tree and tied my balloon arch on the clothing rack. It worked perfectly! I made the mistake of making a large Number 1 for Cal's first birthday. Since then, I've forever doomed myself to making large balloon number props for every birthday party. I find some super "easy" templates on Etsy, get some thick poster board from the Dollar Tree and set to work! More DecorationsFinal Result
