paperless post finding nemo invitations

This past weekend I had a few people ask me what invitations I used for my daughter's Finding Nemo Party. Sure enough I decided to write a post about it in case anyone else was wondering the same thing! Trust me it was hard finding invitations I liked for this tricky yet popular theme. So I am glad I can help other mommas!

I found the perfect online invitation at Paperless Post.  As luck would have it they actually had a nice selections of Finding Nemo invites that were just my style :)

This was my first time using Paperless Post so I was a little confused on how it worked exactly but I got the hang of things pretty quick! 

You can email everyone in your party the invitation and they RSVP right thru the email! Easy! I could keep track of all the RSVP in one location! 

What I did find a little difficult was the pricing of it all! When you sign up for Paperless Post you get a certain amount of free coins to use towards your invitations. Once you run out of free coins you must buy more coins. 

Luckily I didn't have a large guest count so I had just enough coins. 

You can also purchase a single invitation that will be mailed to you! I bought one to keep as a  keepsake for my little one!

This is the invite we used for the party!

And these are some other options that I think are equally as adorable!

If your read the post before this one, you know that I had a difficult time finding Nemo birthday products. So of course I took the make it myself route. Being that I was going to put this on my Etsy shop and then quickly realized that Etsy just isn't for me at this time. I have decided to share this banner as a free printable!  Enjoy!

finding nemo party {free printables}

This weekend we had ourselves a Finding Nemo themed pool party for my almost 4 yr old. 

My daughter just recently saw the movie and it has been her absolute favorite these last few weeks. 

So obviously when party planning started all I kept hearing was pool party and nemo. 

I really thought this would be the easiest thing to pull off until I hit up my party decoration go to places (Target and Party City) to find absolutely nothing with Nemo on it. I did find Nemo products online but add in shipping and it was more than I wanted to spend on decorations I didn't really care for. 

After hours of scrolling thru Pinterest for ideas I decided to go the route many other woman before me had done. Make the decorations myself and hit up Etsy for anything else. 

Thanks to my photoshop and Etsy I was able to put together a fun little party that my kid absolutely loved and was kind to my wallet! Win and Win! 

I made this tissue fringe backdrop using the tutorial found here. The backdrop was so easy and cheap to make! Helpful tip: I bought 2 foam boards at the 99 cent store and taped them together to get the size I wanted!!  

Sister if you are reading this Thank you so much for making the cake and cupcakes!!

The favor bags were sweet and simple. I was determined to use whatever I already had on hand. The bags themselves were your plain old paper lunch bags. I just slapped on some Thank You stickers and voila instantly pretty! I made the coloring books on photoshop and the kids loved them!

Because I had such a hard time finding nemo goodies, I decided to lend a helping hand! If you find yourself throwing a nemo party use these free printables!!

Helpful tips: I printed the tags on regular computer and just cut them out (you can use card stock as well).

For the thank you tags I printed them on sticker paper and cut them out and stuck them on baggies!

Super easy and will add the Nemo details your kiddo will love!
