Invitation

http://helpinglittlehands.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/printable-hogwarts-acceptance-letters.html

Google saves the day.

This incredible blog helped me out so much for this invitation. I was keen on doing a Hogwarts acceptance letter and I knew my friends would get excited when they saw them.

This site will give you everything you need. I also wanted to heliumify white balloons and draw owls on them so they'd get their invites delivered by owls.


But as a seriously nerdy and busy year 11 student, I didn't have time to do this. So i printed out my letters, folded them into paper planes and threw them at my friends - as if an owl had dropped one on them. They loved it and and screamed with excitement when opening their letters - hint, it's a good idea to invite friends that like or have some knowledge about Harry Potter.

I also decided that I wanted my friends to be in each of the four houses so we could compete in games during the party, so I grouped friends and labeled each of the invitations with a house so the numbers would be relatively even.

Here's my letter:
