Outdoor Movie Party

I can't believe that I never posted my son's 5th birthday party. It was really fun... from start to finish, beginning with the invitations I hand made. I personalized the envelopes with each child's name and invited the whole family on the inside.I want to credit the paper and template designers but my laptop fried a few months ago and I lost all my stash and all my photos. :( 
I'm pretty sure the papers were from MScraps and the template was from Simply J Studios at ScrapMatters.

Here are the invitation 'ticket', envelope and a close-up of the insert.

Each kid got a few flashlight rings (a huge hit!) and glow braclets



We served Pizzas and had two cakes with Ben 10 decoration on them.

For the main feature, we set up a large canvas and projected the movie Astro Boy.

    Do you by any chance still have this template? If so, is it available for purchase? We are doing this very same thing for my son's 7th birthday party next month & I LOVE your invites. I would need to be able to edit it obviously. Please let me know...thanks!
