I have a baby shower I am putting on later this week. These are my invitations! I love how they turned out. First, I steamed fortune cookies open, took out the fortune and replaced it with my rsvp.
This is how I steamed them- a boiling pot of water on the stove. It's easiest to just do a few at a time. They will become soft for you to open them up a bit. Tweezers are a handy tool. Once finished, just allow them time to completley harden.

I printed the poem on scrapbook paper from the computer. With a practice paper I made sure there was enough space for me to fill in the spaces with hand-written calligraphy. I based that paper onto cardstock and hole punched to add a piece of ribbon.
On the back, I attached the fortune cookie (which is placed in a sandwich baggie) - which was dipped in white chocolate (tinted green).
- just to add- this baby shower is for a Korean gal, hence the fortune cookie. She is also using the color green for her little girls room. Green in their culture is yellow in ours.
