Trick of Treat with Bella Ink Designs

Trick or Treat?

It's time to start thinking about your Halloween party invitations.  Bella Ink Designs has several invitations for little ghoul and grown-up goblin parties.  When guests receive a hand-glittered Bella Ink invitation, they know they're in for a treat.

If your costume is all black, keep this trick in mind: Nylons will get deodorant marks off a dark shirt or dress, just rub!

To order your Bella Ink Halloween invitations, visit our Find a Store Page:  http://www.bellaink.com/stores.html.

Retailers, please call Bella Ink directly to order and to take advantage of our free freight offer on Halloween invitations, for a limited time, only.

One Last Summer Sleepover

 

Summer vacation is almost over and school will be back in session in no time.  Help make the end of summer sting a little less with one final sleepover.  

Here are some of Bella Ink's suggestions for making your sleepover a success:

Rent movies with students navigating the social ups and downs of high school.  Some of our favorites are: Can't Buy Me Love, Clueless, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Grease, Footloose, Mean Girls, and Never Been Kissed.  These films are classics and should appeal to a variety of age groups.

Make pizza rather than ordering from a local pizzeria.  Buy pre-made pizza dough, roll out and have ready to be topped by guests once everyone arrives.  Set up a toppings bar and be sure to include some unique choices.  Plan on making 1 pizza for ever 2-3 sleepover attendees. 

Cook dessert outside over the fire pit.  We love S'mores!

Practice different hairstyles to see how you'd like to wear yours on the first day of school.  Invite guests to bring what they're thinking of wearing and have everyone do a mini fashion show.

Play games, sing, dance, laugh and have nothing but fun.  After all, it's your last hurrah!
