When Publisher opens click on new publication and choose publications for print. Then choose invitation cards, then choose party or b-day party, click on one that you like and make the changes so that it looks like the way you want it. PM me with more questions and I can walk u through it.

Who are you inviting? If there will be kids there, have some sort of coloring activity, eg velvet art that the kids can color with markers. Or you could ask a teenager to play party games with them pass the parcel, pin the nose on the clown etc and have cheap prizes to give out. Or buy some face paints and have a teenager paint the kids faces.

what are 2 bouncing houses?

my 17 year old son still remembers today that one of my friends made him chocolate alef-bais from one of those molds. some people use honey on certain letters during "cermony" so he just ate the choc and was happy.

Do you have someone who can make you some - I'm not local sorry - MAZAL TOV!

bouncing huses are the inflatable castles or squares that the children jump no stop...
That's the only request my son asked me!

I jsut made upsherin 2 weeks ago. for invitations I made copies of a picture of his and made a post card on the other side. it was really cute (just one person had that the picture seperated from the paper I stuck on the back!)

That is the cutest idea! I only have one 5 month old girl, but I will definitely put that idea away in my mental files for the future!

For the invitation just buy some nice paper from Staples and type up the poem and information in Word. Then print it out.

If you know how to use Word (or similar word processing program) and you know how to print a regular 8.5x11 flyer, you shouldn't have a problem.
