Themed, personalized invitations are a fun way to let your guests know that it’s a roast n’ toast theme. There are tons of fun ways to personalize invitations.

Lay marshmallows out on sticks so guests can roast them over the campfire. Let them make s’mores the old fashioned way or add special condiments, like melted chocolate, crushed graham crackers, berry toppings, cinnamon and coconut. Melt in your mouth goodness! Play up the hot chocolate bar with shaved chocolate, marshmallows, whipped cream and sprinkles. Mmm! Your guests will be toasting to your great hostess skills too! Another special detail is the cake. Get creative or hire your wonderful baker to shape the cake into the person you are celebrating. Such a fun and special detail to any party, it truly lets the guest of honor know this party is just for them.
