2nd b-day invitation wording?

sara1014

I'm definitely not the crafty-type and I'm trying to think of wording for H and M's 2nd b-day party.  It'll be a swim party so I need to include something about bringing necessities and we're serving lunch and cake.  I googled and found a few options.  DH is being a smarta$$ and asking it needs to rhyme, be a haiku etc.  So maybe YOU gals can help me out choosing one.  

Hannah and Marshall are turning 2!  Bring a swimsuit to see what's in store, We'll splash & play, eat cake & more 

-or- 

Splish, Splash
We're having a blast
Hannah and Marshall's 2nd Birthday is here at last! 

-or-

Bathing suits, sunshine
Come on in, the water's fine!

You're invited to Hannah and Marshall's 2nd birthday party!

Now DH feels he can veto certain ones.  Yet he's not coming up with any ideas on his own.  Too bad!!

I'd love to know what y'all think or hear more suggestions.

 

Oh and...is it normal to be completely and utterly shocked that I'm going to have 2 year olds soon???? YIKES!!!

Well, personally they are all cute. BUT -- If I would overlook important details in the rhyme. If you want to communicate those details and do something creative, I'd make a fun rhyme then follow it up with:

'" Please join us for swimming, lunch and of course birthday cake!"

 

But then again, I'm lame and just do the who what where and when type of invite

I agree with PP.  Even if it is in the rhyme it is always nice to have to bring swim suit/towel at the bottom.  

The girls had a ballerina party and the girls were to wear dance clothes.  It said it all in the rhyme but at the bottom I put to wear ballet clothes that they would have a mini dance lesson.

Here is a cute one that is self explanatory.

 Sorry its not clicky.  

 

 

ETA:  And it is totally normal to be shocked at them turning 2.  You will be even more shocked at 3.  You never get used to it and they never stop growing at the speed of light.    Sadly there is no way to stop or even slow it down.   Im still not at terms that I have 5yr olds & a 6 yr old.  I feel the same age but they are not babies anymore...I guess that means I have gotten 5&6 yrs older as well.  :P   But dont worry, at 2 my girls were so much fun together.  They were out of the weeble wobble stage, starting to talk and really show their personalities.  It was 3 when they hit the attitude and tantrums.  I do NOT miss the 3s.  LoL.  So far it has been easy fun 2s, terrible tantrum filled 3s, sassy 4s and head strong independent 5s.  

Good luck party planning.  Feel free to ask any more party questions.  Im a googleaholic and love to search for fun ideas.
