I Need Some DIY Help...

and I instantly thought of the wonderful ladies of LIW!!!!

DH is going to be 25 next year and I am going to have a semi-formal type surprise party for him. I struggled trying to come up with a theme and settled for a color scheme instead.

I'd like to start early so I am not withdrawing large enough amounts of money where he could notice and start asking questions since it's a surprise.

I need:
-invitations
-table numbers
-favors
-thank you cards
-OOT baskets (we are both military and do not live near most of our guests so they'll be traveling)
-centerpieces

Please help!

**I can start invitations as venue and date have been confirmed**

DH is a die hard Indianapolis Colts fan so I am going to go with Royal Blue and Silver.

Any help that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated! Any templates you can throw my way would be great! I'm creative, I just don't know where to start! :) I've hit a block!

-invitations ( you can find great print at home kits and do them up with all the information done in your colors - they even offer design templates online to set them up)

-table numbers ( since you guys love the colts instead of numbering tables name them by players - print a pic of that player and put it on the tables - you could number them as well)

-favors ( anything edible ususally goes over well - candy apples, cupcakes, lollipop cookies)

-thank you cards ( a pic from the party add some 'thank you' text on the computer, and take to a local photo developer like target. you can have them printed 4' x 6' for less than .20 each and send them like a post card)

-OOT baskets (we are both military and do not live near most of our guests so they'll be traveling) (chips, pretzels, m&m's, bottles of water, nutragrain bar, peanut butter crackers
, fruit snacks, twizlers, MOTRIN)

-centerpieces ( how about a simple tall pillar candle in a glass hurricane or holder filled with blue and clear crystals)

HTH Good luck
