Uprinting Custom Invitation Giveaway

With four kids, we have sent out our fair share of invitations. Every year we have 3 birthday parties - at least I save on the twins sharing! If you want an invitation that is more personal then the packaged ones at the store, you can order some custom invitations from Uprinting. What better way to celebrate your child's milestone birthday than with an invitation that has a cute picture of them on it?



The flat invitation printing comes in standard sizes like 3.5" x 5" and 5" x 7" and you can have both the front and back printed. Don't forget that Uprinting uses recycled papers and soy based inks, which is a wonderful eco-friendly touch.

You don't even have to stick to just invitations - you can also use these to print holiday cards, thank you notes or birth announcements. Last year I used the double-sided option to print some pretty awesome birth announcements for our youngest son. The quality from Uprinting is always excellent and their turnaround is nice and quick.

Disneynature's African Cats Opens Earth Day

The third movie from Disneynature, African Cats, opens this Earth Day: April 22, 2011. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, African Cats follows the true life stories of a lion cub, Mara; a cheetah, Sita, and her 5 newborns; and Fang, leader of the pride. It is like the real life version of The Lion King! My boys and I have already watched the trailer a dozen times and they keep asking for more. What child doesn't love to watch real life animals in action?





See African Cats, Save the Savanna

During the opening week of African Cats, Aprill 22 - 28, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales to the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund. The goal is to ensure the future of animals in the African savanna. "See African Cats, Save the Savanna" is the third conservation project from Disney. In 2009 with the release of Earth, three million trees were planted in the Brazil's Atlantic Forrest. Then in 2010, with the movie Oceans, audiences helped to establish 40,000 acres of marine protected areas in The Bahamas.

How Can You Help?
- SEE THE MOVIE! Get to the theaters with your family to see African Cats between April 22 - 28.
- Like Disneynature on Facebook where you can interact with African Cats content every day. Share content with your Facebook friends to help spread the word.
- Pledge to see African Cats on Eventful. There is a real-time counter to show how many people have participated, and there will also be a graphical map representing the number of acres across the savanna that are being conserved based upon the number of pledges received. Upon arriving at the theater, fans can check in via their mobile device to win special prizes.
- Buy your tickets through Disney Tickets Together. Facebook's first social ticketing application, this allows fans to engage with the film by inviting friends to see African Cats and purchase tickets for local theaters without ever leaving Facebook. For all "African Cats" events created in Tickets Together, Disney will increase the donation to the Save the Savanna fund for every "Yes" RSVP that the events receive. The application launches during the week of April 18.
