I have a sincere love of party planning. Nothing gets me happier than planning a really fun and amazing event. Of course, nothing gets me more stressed. Just call it a love/hate. I have quite a few amazing events coming up in the next few months, and I figured I would share them with you all. Hope you all enjoy!

Although my killer Hunger Games party is quickly approaching (next week – eek), I am also planning a Harry Potter themed weekend  bachelorette party. The bride, her bridal party and friends will be heading up north to spend a weekend in Orlando, FL, specifically at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I am not going to lie, this is one of the coolest ideas for a bachelorette ever. I kind of think I need a do-over!

But all kidding aside, I totally believe that party invitations really set the tone for any event, so naturally the invitations for the bachelorette had to be epic. After all, we are going to have the most amazing time. Thanks to some inspiration, I decided to put together a whole acceptance package into Hogwarts. I grabbed a bulk order of Kraft mailing tubes, and looked up the exact wording of Harry’s acceptance letter (find it here). I typed up individual letters for each lovely lady wizard, making it more authentic with aged paper, an official letterhead and a legit McGonagall signature.

I also added a ticket on the Hogwarts Express, individualized for our trip found on Etsy (seller ConfettiPrints seems to have closed shop, which is a HUGE bummer). I rolled them both up together and tied it with a thin brown ribbon. This easily slipped into the tube, which was adorned with an adorable owl scroll address label (also found on Etsy).

The girls all received their “owls” to rave reviews. They have been complimented to no end and have succeeded in getting everyone amped up for the trip, which was my exact goal. Best part? These invites only set me back about $30 or so. Not bad at all for something I believe to be so unique and themed.

I hope to share more party planning details on the blog in the near future – including more Harry Potter details, and of course, highlights from our epic Hunger Games themed premiere party! Do you like this new topic? Are you excited to see more posts like this on the blog? Share in the comments!
