The first party supply you are going to need for your carnival party and that will set the mood for your celebrations are the party invitations.

Full of color and everything carnival, this invitation is such a joy and beautifully illustrated.

You can count on your guests being impressed when they open their stripy red and white envelopes to find this fantastic carnival invitation.

Thankfully though that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on these little treasures.

Just look at the incredible carnival cookies we’ve found.

How stunning will they look on a plate at your party?!
