4th of July Party Invitations with Easy Templates

NEW INDEPENDENCE DAY PARTY INVITES

I don't know about you, but I had a fun Memorial Day weekend full of family time, grilled food and sunshine. I was thinking, "How could this be any better?" And the answer was, "It could include fireworks and watermelon." Which is why I'm so excited that the 4th of July is right around the corner. Last year, I made my very first party invitations for Independence Day. Since I had a long list of ideas, I decided to design more this year.

And since you can get these 50% off through Friday, June 2nd 2017 with coupon code ZAZZLEGIFT50 , I thought now was the perfect time to show them here:

These are the ones that I made last year. I did a funny typography design and made it available in a template for a general party and a BBQ:

1. FUNNY 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS / BEER BARBECUE INVITE

 
There are easy templates to help you add all your party details to the back.

2. Here is the other version:


3. This year, I decided to add more humor, since the Fourth of July is a happy holiday. I knew I wanted to make an invite with an eagle. I decided to go kitschy with this one and overdo all the stereotypes about the holiday. So, here you have a bald eagle holding a beer and a sparkler while riding a bottle rocket and wearing a patriotic headband and legwarmers with a matching "USA" tank top. This eagle is ready to celebrate!


4. I decided to have some fun with George Washington, too. Some George Washing-FUN:


Here is the bash version of this one:

5. Don't Knock It 'Til You Rocket! This one is colorful with lots of fireworks:


6. I knew I wanted to make a retro invitation. It's fun to imagine going to a party during the Mad Men era. I designed this one to look like an invite you might receive in the 50s or early 60s. And yes, the guy is smiling while he holds a lit firework in his hand. People just didn't know the danger back then!


7. Finally, since I love anything associated with the beach, I made this pretty one for a seaside 4th of July party. It can also be for a pool party (you can change the words). I love how the colors turned out on this:


I'm also adding matching party decor, such as paper plates, napkins, cups, coasters and more. You can find those in the "collections" section on the invite product pages. If you still can't find what you're looking for, you can either "contact the designer" on the product pages and let me know what you need or contact me here.

See all my 4th of July and summer party invitations here.

And don't forget to use code ZAZZLEGIFT50 to save 50% through Friday June 2nd 2017.

Have a happy 4th of July!

Unique Personalized Father's Day Gift Ideas

Father's Day Gift Ideas from Zazzle

In 2015, Father's Day is the 21st of June, which might seem like a while off, but it's actually only 22 days away. If you want to order your dad the perfect, personalized gift, now is the time. All these gift ideas from Zazzle are printed on demand when you order them. Here are some of my favorites.


1. For the seafaring, boat-loving, yacht captain sailor type of dad: a personalized captain can koozie to keep his beer cold while he sails the seas. Easily add your dad's name to the anchor:


2. For the Mad Men loving, cool 50s / 60s mid-century modern retro kind of dad: a minimalist clock in the classic atomic starburst style. You can even click "customize it" and add a monogram or change the background color if you like:


3. Father's Day comes only a couple weeks before 4th of July. This shirt is the perfect gift for the dad who loves fireworks and beer. It says, "Fireworks Expert: I drink the booze and light the fuse." Add your dad's name or choose to print it without a name:


4. For the dad who loves man's best friend: a custom dog bed for his favorite pooch. This blue dog bed has paw prints all over it and a bone where you can add the name of your father's favorite companion:


5. For the chef dad who is a fan of Breaking Bad, this funny parody apron has a muffin and the words Baking Dad: I am the One Who Cooks.


6. For the wild west dad, personalize his man cave with this cool set of six custom saloon drink coasters:


7. For the military or hunter dad, make his ride extra special with these green and brown camouflage car mats:

8. Does your dad home brew his own beer? Give him his own brand with these customized bottle labels.  Specify the type of beer and add your dad's photo.

9. For the dad who dislikes social media, this funny gel mousepad has a picture of a carrier pigeon and the words, "In my day, if we wanted to communicate through a twitter-bird, we wrote a note and stuck it on a pigeon."

10. For the gambling, card-playing dad, this cool watch with a card suit design. The art-deco style numbers are white on the black and red hearts, diamonds, spades and clovers. Add your dad's name in red.


11. For the dad with a sense of humor, this funny novelty drink flask. It's made to look like a vintage snake oil advertisement.


This is only a small sample of the 52 hand-picked gifts in the Father's Day Collection.  CLICK HERE to see all 52 items, from funny greeting cards to retro neckties, camo dartboards, pop art phone cases, wine cellar cheeseboards, zombie shirts and coffee shop posters. I hope you find the perfect, unique gift for your dad!

Saint Patrick's Day Designs - Wear the Green!

Fun and Funny St Patrick's Day Shirts, Buttons and More

I've always loved Saint Patrick's Day because I'm part Irish - but also because I like leprechauns. They're mischievous little folks who are always trying to earn a fortune in gold through trickery. I also love this holiday because the very first design I made and placed on Zazzle was made for St. Paddy's. I still like this design and can't look at it without smiling.

Here he is - the Lepre Con. Poor little man. He's in trouble with the law:


I have some more funny leprechaun t-shirts, too. This one is my favorite:


To see more leprechauns and St Patrick's Day funnies - on buttons, hats and more - check out this category of the HaHaHolidays store.  

 More Fun Items for Saint Patrick's Day

Zazzle has more than t-shirts and buttons, though. The can and bottle foam coolers are new. Keep your drink cold while you celebrate St Paddy's:

Pretty Saint Patrick's Day

You don't have to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day via a hard-drinking leprechaun, though. Maybe you're looking for a more subtle or elegant feel. I added a new line of items to the FancyCelebration store this year, all with a pretty shamrock watercolor design. Here are a few pretty items from the set, which includes pillows, kitchen towels, craft ribbon and fabric, men's ties, wrapping paper and even an elegant invitation. See the whole set here.

Own Your Very Own Irish Pub
 
My all-time favorite, though, is the personalized Irish pub line. It's part of my bigger selection of personalized sets HERE, which includes a saloon, a diner, a brewery, a coffee shop, etc., so far. Check out all the varieties!

Here is the custom Irish pub design on a clock and coaster set. Easily add your name, monogram and established year.



Thanks for having a look at all my Saint Patrick's Day designs. Erin Go Bragh!

New Customized Photo Beer Labels on Zazzle

ADD YOUR PHOTO TO YOUR OWN HOMEBREW BEER LABELS

Hello! I haven't posted for a while, but I wanted to stop in and introduce my newest beer labels on Zazzle. They were inspired by "Breaking Bad." I was watching Hank Schrader make his Schraderbrau beer and I noticed that the labels had his picture on them - and I realized I hadn't made any labels where you can add your own photo. So, I made a template and fancied up the labels with some hops and barley stencils. You have your choice of a few different formats and colors, too. Some have a central beer image below the photo and some have a hops image:

Here's the brown label with a central beer image. All the text is easily customizable:

Here it is with the hops in the middle:

And here's an alternate version where you can add a short slogan to the label:

See all the colors and varieties of this beer label in the FancyCelebration store here. You'll also find matching coasters, posters and some other items there.

I'm excited about these new beer labels and plan to make more photo template ones in the future. I'm hoping to get a Christmas-themed one done before the holiday season, for anyone giving beer as a gift. So, feel free to stop by and see what's new!
