Invite your guests by using Geographic Coordinates!

Posted on Categories How-To

For a little bit of extra Fun, (especially good for a Spy or Pirate Party). Give the address in Geographic Coordinates. It’s very easy to do!
  • Go to Google Maps and look up the address as you normally would.
  • Google Maps will show you the address as  the red “A” Bubble
  • Right click on the Red “A” Bubble
  • Toggle down the menu until you see “What’s here?” (Click on the What’s here?)
  • Voila! … the geographic coordinates will be displayed in the search box above.

When your guests want to figure out where the party is they can search
the coordinates through Google maps to show them the secret address !!
(You should include your phone number for your invited guests to RSVP…
and make sure that they have the location correct).
It’s a fun opportunity to teach the children about Latitude and Longitude!

Thanks to the Graphics Fairy for the Paper/Globe/Compass Rose!
