With my 23rd birthday just around the corner, I've had all kinds of super fun birthday crafts and projects in the works! One of them happens to be my birthday invitations, which ended up being more like birthday packages!
I have always loved buying invitations, so this year was no different. After seeing these cute bridesmaids boxes on Pinterest, I couldn't help but use them as inspiration. With the unofficial theme of my birthday weekend in Charleston being "Champagne & Shopping," I knew a variation of this package would be absolutely perfect!
First, I needed an actual invitation!
I searched high and low for the perfect invites, but ended up going to one of my favorite websites, Etsy! I love that Etsy offers one of a kind products to fit any event or celebration. When I couldn't make up my mind, my Mom (with her fabulous taste) came to the rescue, and picked out the perfect ones!

Let me introduce you to the Etsy shop, Birdie Says Caw Caw and its owner, Sharon!
I fell in love with Sharon's Lilly Pulitzer You Gotta Regatta inspired invitations, but wanted to make it a little more me! With my favorite Lilly print being Pop, why not use that on my birthday invitations?!
I immediately messaged Sharon to see if she was up for the challenge, and heard back from her that day! We worked together until the invitation was absolutely perfect and ready to print.
I am in love with how they turned out!
Our course, the real version won't have that pink box in the center. This invitation is the perfect mix of preppy and party, and that monogram is to-die for! The next morning, we were off to Staples to have them printed.
Next, I needed something to put in my packages!
After getting the invitations, Mama & I headed to Winston for a little birthday guest shopping spree. My favorite stop was the local wine store for mini champagne bottles! Though I was swooning over these cute little pink ones, at $22/bottle, we went for a more affordable option.

I also grabbed pink champagne glasses and some pink and white pinstriped straws from HomeGoods!
I found these cute pink and purple containers at Michael's for $1.00 each. They were a little too plain, so I bought pink stickers and jewels to dress them up a bit.
I decided to put each girl's monogram on the outside of their container.
Everything fit perfectly inside, and gave my invitations that extra "something" they were needing!
On Monday night after my grad school class, I delivered these cuties to Danielle, Katy, and Kaitlyn! I hope they loved their invite packages as much as I loved putting them together. My friend Alex lives in Charleston, so I'll be bringing hers down when we go!
Only 8 more days until we're Charleston bound!
Do you send birthday invitations?!
Love what you're reading?
As always, Have a Sweet Day!
