Total time --15 hours The invitation we created for this party was simple. Find some really elegant card stock and print the invitation onto the card using the following information: You are invited to a MONTE CARLO evening
Compliments of -- Hosts name
When
Where
RSVP
Semi-Formal attire
Light hors d'oeuvres will be served To create a "Save the Day" card (figure A) just use your computer clip art to replicate the ace of diamonds. The size of these cards will be the same size of cards used in a regular deck of cards. Have a small ace of diamonds in the upper left and bottom right corner and a larger ace in the very middle of the card. Use the very same information as you do for the invitation, except instead of the first two lines -- "you are invited to" and "compliments of" -- just put Dick and Jane's Monte Carlo Night at the top of the card. Just cut these out and glue them to a playing card. Mail these cards with the invitation.
