Witches and brooms...

Have you ever wondered how the popular Halloween Invitations theme of Witches and brooms began? One of the theories back from before when there were even Halloween Party Invitations is from pagan fertility rites. They would mount pitchforks, poles, brooms and ride them like horses, at times leaping into the air as well as dancing. This continued into later times still before the invitations Halloween season and became well established with Witches being connected too brooms, instead of pagans.

More on the pink is for girls blue is for boys

You wouldn't think it would really be controversial, but Shower Invitations when pink being feminine and blue being masculine as seen on may baby shower invites and a whole part of the invitation baby shower world actually is controversial. As late as the 1940's it was argued that pink was a shade of red, and that blue for girls was appropriate because blue was the color that represented the Virgin Mary. No matter which color scheme you pick for your baby shower, CardsShoppe (www.cardsshoppe.com) will create a special design just for you and they will print and ship your order the same day it's approved.

Pink is for girls and blue is for boys...

The title of this post inspired by the baby shower invitation below may be what you have been told when it comes to Baby Shower Invitations and the whole invitations baby shower theme, but there was actually a time when it was the opposite:

"There has been a great diversity of opinion on the subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl." [Ladies Home Journal, June, 1918]

Ice Storms...

The text of this Christmas Invitation made me curious as to what was the worst ice storm in history. While many States have had ice storms they stated was the worst in that area's history, some which happened during the invitations Christmas party season, the worst one that affected both the US and Canada was in 1998. In that case the storm happened after Christmas so it didn't impact any Christmas Party invitation plans or even New Year's.

Snow cones made me think of snow men

As I enjoyed the Hawaiian Ice version of a snow cone today (okay three but who's counting) and yesterday at Smoke on the Water, I couldn't help but think of snowmen as seen on this Christmas Invitation. The mounds of shaved ice could easily make one forget the heat and start thinking about party Christmas invitations and the invitations Christmas season. Since Holiday Invitations (www.holiday-invitations.com) will create a special design for anyone, I pondered having one done with shaved ice, perhaps with lime and cherry flavors, but instead of an umbrella in the drink, a small Christmas tree...What ever you decide you want on your Christmas Party invitation, they will print and ship your order the same day it's approved.

Jolly Old St. Nicholas...
