The notecards are pre-made from Michaels. One of the things that bothers me about buying the pre-made notecards is that they are white on the inside. I'm sure no one will notice & it is a non-issue - it is just my little pet peeve! The price for pre-made notecards just can't be beat. They were $4.99 for a package of 20 blank notecards & envelopes and I used a 50% off coupon from the Sunday Michaels sales flyer. So, only $2.67 with tax - what a bargain!

The mad scientist picture was found online & I had them printed at Office Depot on glossy photo paper - that runs about 60¢ a sheet and I fit 3 pictures on each page. All of the colored cardstock came from Joanns when they were running a scrapbook paper sale 6/96¢. The cost of the invitations was minimal, but they were time consuming to make. I love how they turned out and I enjoy papercrafting, so the time spent making is well worth it.

I absolutely love them! I am really bad at going into detail for our parties, but you definitely just showed me how important a tool the invitations is.

I would have to say that this is the BEST tween boy party idea I have ever seen!!! Great job on the decor, invites, and activities!
