This past week was my dear sister's birthday. Hooray! Since this dear sister lives in a different state, I decided to pack up her party and ship it to her.
I purposely kept each item minimal and generally unembellished for easy shipping and assembly on the other side. You know me, I like a good user experience. No one wants a party shipped to them that takes longer then 5 minute to set up, let's be real.
I've broken the box items out into individual how-to's (links will be below.) But I also wanted to highlight the final details of how it was put together.
Directions:
1) Gather your items
This box included:
An Age Pennant, and
I also included a fun little pack of bookmarks - you can add your own special extras too!
2) Find a box, line it with tissue paper. I purposely went indie and used a sardine box to be unassuming.
3) Pack your items, and sprinkle some confetti before sealing. I taped some 'confetti' to the outside, using paper from the hole punch I accumulated from the other projects. I put some confetti inside the box as well. #Confettiismyfriend
And there you have it! Birthday party in a box.
Notes:
- Remember to keep things simple and easy to assemble for the receiver
