Thanksgiving invitations

This year my husband and I are hosting Thanksgiving at our place. We are so excited because its going to be the very first time we have a holiday celebration with our family and of course it is the first official gathering at our new apartment. We have a lot of planning to do.

First thing on my list is invitations: here you have plenty of options. 
You can send invitations online using great themes from your e-mail browser. 
You can also use iPhone/iPad to create something nice or use some apps that have seasonal designs 
(check out Red Stamp, this app is free, they do charge $0.99 for some of theirs postcards, but most of their basic designs are free; this app is very easy and fun to use and you can customize your invitation postcard and send it in no time)
I decided to send paper invitations via the post. I used pale yellow card stock (4" : 5.5") with wording sample #1 (see below) and a little sketched turkey :) Font: Felix Titling. I used brown envelopes and gold pen to write the address.

Wording samples that I liked:
{ 1 }
Thanksgiving should be shared
with family and friends,
because you have given us 
reasons to give thanks.
Please join us for dinner
and make our holiday special.

{ 2 }
Here’s to the blessings of the year
Here’s to the friends we hold so dear
To peace on earth, both far and near
Please join us for Thanksgiving dinner


Final Result!
