SHELebration Details: Invitations

As I have mentioned before, I am in the process of planning my son’s 2nd birthday party.

It is Shel Silverstein themed. I’ve sent out the invites so now I can share them with you!

When I saw this illustration done by Shel, I knew this would be perfect!!

I removed the wording and added my own:

The final results!!

The envelopes are lined with 2 of Silverstein’s poems:

?Listen to the mustn’ts, child.

Listen to the don’ts.

Listen to the shouldn’ts,

the impossibles, the won’ts.

Listen to the never haves,

then listen close to me…

Anything can happen, child.

Anything can be.?

and

?If you are a dreamer,come in.

If you are a dreamer,

a wisher, a liar, a hoper,

a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer.

If you’re a pretender,

come sit by my fire,

for we have some

flax-golden tales to spin.

Come in! Come in!

I’ll be sharing more details of the big day throughout the month. Can’t you tell I’m excited?!?!
