Movie Party ~ Invitations

For Nathan's 10th birthday we decided to have a movie party with just a few friends. Since he is turning 10, it was a fine line between cool and too childish. I think these invitations fit the bill of a tween party!

The little black take-out boxes were purchased at Michaels. The outside was embellished with some scrapbook ribbon and a gold personalized star cut with my Cricut (George and Basic Shapes cartridge). My son hand-delivered all of the invitations.
Inside the mini box was a few little goodies:

I found the plastic clapboard picture frame key chains on clearance at Michael's for 33¢ each and used these for the information part of the invitation.

The front reads,

Admit One

Double Digit / Double Feature

Nathan is turning 10!

The back reads,

Included was a show schedule with the 1st Showing of 1974 TV's Land of the Lost followed by the Feature Presentation of the movie Land of the Lost starring Will Ferrell. Also included was some bubble gum and a little plastic dinosaur (representing Land of the Lost!).

My son was thrilled with the invitations - he thought they were "really awesome" and "not at all babyish"!
