Invitations

Save all of your glass pop bottles, and take off the labels and wash thoroughly.  Next, write out your invitations on tan or beige paper, tearing the edges slightly.  Roll the paper up and put in the bottle.  Hand deliver.   Or... you can make a 'treasure map', use a tan or beige paper and slightly tear the edges.  Make a photocopy or draw a simple map, complete with a "X" that marks the spot.  In the corner, write in the information for the party.

wording for above invitation:

"If you long for an adventure on the open seas,
Alex's birthday party is sure to please."

"Come help us search for buried treasure,
Having you as our guest, would be a pleasure."
