How fun! Great jon!
I heard about your website through a friend and I'm sure glad I did because I need some really good party ideas and this is going to help! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, I love all the color in this one. It just screams fun! I'll be linking.
Super cute! What a fun party. The printables turned out great.
Great party!
I have a tip for you and your readers.
Next time you are planning a party with several people at the same time you should check out Zorap. It allows you to have a video conversation with anyone you invite to join you in your room. During your conversation you can do things like share videos, photos and just talk through the party ideas.
I admit I represent Zorap, in full disclosure. I have used it myself to keep in touch with my wife and kids while traveling for work and it is great.
The really cool thing is that Zorap has recently announced that it is available on Facebook as an application you can use on your profile page.
Anyway, check it out and see if you find Zorap as useful as I do.
You can find the Zorap Facebook app at: http://apps.facebook.com/zorapapp/
You can also use the Zorap website as well at: www.zorap.com
Just an idea

That is SO clever to use a beach ball for the invites. You could just write the info on a regular beach ball and send it deflated, too, instead of buying from Oriental Trading.
Thanks for sharing!!!
I love the shark cupcakes, they are so cute!!!

This is great! When you purchase printables from sites such as Paper and Cake, from what type of paper do you use to print the templates? Thanks!!
