“(And the Free Ones We Loved!)”
You guys. I spent WAY too much time searching for Bluey invitations. It’s ridiculous how fast you can go from “I’ll find something cute” to “Why are there 7,000 options and half of them cost more than the cake?” At first, I almost caved and ordered a fancy custom one. But then, late one night (after too much coffee and not enough sanity), I stumbled on some ADORABLE free Bluey invitations online. I could edit them myself, add the party info, and print them at home.
It felt like winning the lottery. Well, a small lottery. The kind where you don’t win cash but you save yourself from a design-induced meltdown. We picked one with Bluey and Bingo jumping excitedly (basically the mood I wanted for the whole party), and my kid helped me stick the invitations into colorful envelopes. He even insisted on drawing tiny paw prints on the back of each one.
Did they look professional? Nope. Did they look like pure joy exploded on cardstock? Absolutely. And honestly, sending out those invitations made the whole thing start to feel REAL. The party was happening! Bluey was coming (in spirit)! And now it was time to make our house feel like the set of an episode.
