You’ve Got Mail This party’s invitation was included in a beautifully packaged overnight bag. Simply print the details of the sleepover party on a coordinating layered tag and tie to a tote bag. Place the bag in a shipping box and wrap with coordinating wrapping paper. Print the address and the return address on a standard sheet of paper. Tape on box, add stamps and mail. Each child will receive a gift-wrapped invite. (And yes, the postal service will ship a gift-wrapped box if it is labeled and addressed properly.) Be sure to keep all your printed pieces in the same color scheme and the same font to ensure a seamless look.
