There's something about the sweet, icy, fresh from the freezer goodness of a popsicle that signifies summer. Well that, and mosquitos. But I much prefer to think about popsicles (as my bathing suit size would indicate).

These orange popsicle party invitations are completely guilt free: No calories, no muss, no fuss. And yet, they still have the second best part of the popsicle: real wooden sticks.

These are no dollar-store invites, this here is exquisitely produced stationery from the very swanky Checkerboard Designs. (Plus they give to lots of charities, which we always like.) The invites can be custom-printed to announce your summer picnic, backyard bbq, or kid's birthday, so your guests will know what a tremendous event they have to look forward to.

So what are you waiting for? We helped with the invites. Don't you have a summer event to plan? -Nancy
