The invitations
We made these 4x6 invitations
And attached them to the cute "tickets" Found HERE.
This was the invitation for the night
We had a "playbook" for all the girls when they came in. (The parents LOVED this)
Here are a few things we put in their playbooks
Important dates for the year
A team roster
a list of the combined YM/YW activities for the year
The Pregame Pep Talk Schedule (lesson Schedule)
And a Practice Schedule (Activity schedule)
The Mia Maids were in charge of the Game for the night. They did a great job. They had questions about Personal Progress, and the new Strength of Youth booklet.
We were just in our RS room so we didn't go too crazy with decorations.
The Sunday before New Beginnings I had all the classes set Goals for the Year. I had them displayed at New Beginnings and talked a little about them. We have this hanging in our YW room every Sunday to remind them to work on their goals!
For Food we served YUMMY Nachos. We just had chips, cheese, salsa, guacamole, Cafe Rio Style Chicken and Sweet pork, Sour Cream, Olives, etc... We just had water bottles for the drink. The night was a Huge Success and everyone had a great time!

Jamie,

Hi there!
Found your blog and LOVE it! We were planning to do a sports/football themed New Beginnings and this is PERFECT! Is there anyway that you could email me the files that you used to create all of your stuff for New Beginnings? It would be so much easier to just edit our informations, etc. rather then re-inventing the wheel. I could pay you for the email of the files or acknowlege you/your blog on the back of everything you use...whatever you would like!
Thank you SOOOO much!
My email is: tjstephens2005@msn.com
Yes, jacqueline I will email it to you:-)
I would love to use this theme for our new beginnings. Can you email me the files you used?
Thanks! This is SO awesome!

Hey!! I absolutely LOVE this idea for New Beginnings and would LOVE to use it for ours this February! Is there anyway you could email me the files so I could just edit them instead of trying to figure out how to create them? I absolutely LOVE how everything looks, so if you could, that would be great! I would want one of everything you posted. Just let me know. I would also be willing to pay you and give you FULL credit for the designs!! Just let me know. Thanks so much!

This is EXACTLY what my daughter has been looking for. She is in charge of the theme and decor for New Beginnings for her 10 hour project and this is perfect. Are you still able to forward me the file? Sorry- I know its been a few years. She is meeting with her YW leaders tomorrow and she would love to print it out and show them. Let me know! Thanks so much
