Invited

As a Mormon woman who does not craft, has no crafting skills, and is really not interested in crafting, anything involving decor becomes a bit complicated. Should I attempt something cute and then see it fail miserably? Not even try, like at Amy's baby shower, when I presented her gift in a gallon-size ziplock bag because I realized at the last minute that I had no bags, paper, or ribbon at home with which to wrap? Which is worse? It's hard to say.

For Evelyn's third birthday party, I decided to avoid the issue entirely by having her create the invitations. I think they turned out rather well, except for the part where I decided it would be a good idea to write information on the back with glitter crayon instead of just preprinting the backs via computer prior to having her decorate the fronts. Oh well. Live and learn.

I should probably be more embarrassed about the fact that I thought a 2-year-old could create better invitations than I could, but as I said above, my lack of skills and interest has really deadened me to shame on that point.
