Pink + Black Elephant
Aztec Galaxy Pattern ($1.50 per invite): First, you’ve gotta invite your girls. How cute are these colorful elephants? Go for the black background if you’re planning an evening event and go for the right if it’s more of a Sunday Funday.
Wild at Heart
Another option for invites is to send actual plastic animals to all of your guests. We would love to receive one of these mini packages. (via Angela and Ithyle)
