Custom

You and your children will need lots of red drawing paper, a pair of scissors, pens and color highlighters, and sticky glue for your personalized .

From the drawing paper, cut hearts measuring 6 inches each. Depending on your number of guests, divide it by two. So if you have 12 guests, cut 6 hearts and separate them.

Split the hearts into two parts to create broken hearts. Make sure to cut a jagged pattern from top to bottom. And remember to cut each heart differently so no two hearts will be the same.

On each half of the heart, write your invitation and your message. Include words such as ?when you bring this half, you might just find the perfect friend?. When you're done, send each half to your invited guests.

When it's time for your party, your children's guests will definitely enjoy looking for their ?other half? to try to fit the edges between the two parts.
