For Emma’s fifth birthday invitations, she drew pictures for each invitation. She decided to draw tigers, I’m not sure why. Each tiger was unique. Some were furry, some had straight lines, some were colored in, some had big teeth (see above), and some looked quite benign (see below).
I think this one looks like a tiger kitten – isn’t it adorable?
We attached the drawings to fancy cardstock with double stick tape, and wrote out the party information on the back. She’s keeping an RSVP list, adding names to it as the answers come in. She also picked who she wanted to invite. I may have an event planner in the making!

Fabulous invitations! :)
Very sweet that she wanted to make her invitations. I love the teeth on the first tiger. What kind of cake does she want?
Good for her! My kids would have lost steam after two or three. So cool she is so involved int the process and planning.
I love this idea–such cute tigers!
I love the tigers, especially the tiger kitten!

Wow! Handmade, personalised invitations from the birthday girl herself – that is so special. How exciting for Emma to be looking after the RSVP list.
