Dog
picnics can be very low-key, but still special and
memorable. Here are some party ideas from
Jamie Kisler and
Michelle Caballero, of Pawsitively Delicious, a
gourmet dog treat and gift company in McKinney, Texas.
 Invitations
If you're making
invitations, send them out two weeks before the picnic
date, to leave plenty of time for people to clear
their schedules. Here's a great idea for a cute
invitation you can make, from Jamie and Michelle:
MATERIALS
INSTRUCTIONS
Type or hand-letter your
picnic details on a piece of white heavy-duty paper.
You can find clip-art to add to your invitation, too.
Cut a piece of black
heavy-duty paper into a 8.5 x 6" rectangle.
Cut a piece of red check
paper in to an 8 x 5.5" rectangle, and glue to the
black sheet.
Trim your white piece of
paper so it fits on top of the red check paper,
allowing enough room at the top for the ribbon (approx
3") and glue it on.
Punch two holes in the top
of the invitation, approximately 1.5" to 2" apart. To
assure that they're centered and even, mark the hole
location with a pencil. Measure from the top edge and
the side edge to each hole.
Thread the ribbon through
and make a bow. Or, to make the configuration shown
above, put both ends of the ribbon through the holes
so that the ends are on the back side. Cross the ends
and pass them back through the holes so the ends are
on the front side. Trim the ribbon.
