Put several Girl Scout cookies on your copy machine to make invitations. You can copy a page full of cookies onto a piece of card stock and cut it into quarters to make four postcard invitations. Put all of the pertinent party information on one side and reserve the other side for the guest's address and a postage stamp. Mail invitations two to three weeks before the party.

Start whipping up Girl Scout cookie recipes. Girl Scouts have been baking cookies since the early 1900s and you can use Girl Scout cookies in several popular recipes. Try breading fried chicken with Peanut Butter Sandwiches, or crushing Thin Mint cookies into your favorite brownie recipe. You can use Caramel Delights (Samoas) in place of graham crackers to make a heavenly cheesecake crust. Try laying each variety of Girl Scout cookies on a tray for a beautiful sampler.
