aged to perfection : wine inspired birthday invitations

Here is a fun wine themed invitation I designed recently for my sister’s 40th birthday party.

To help set the mood of the party, I wanted the design to showcase a timeless and classic feel.

Each invite was addressed with a printed stained wine glass in keeping with the theme.

Happy Birthday Ilona!  Like fine wine, you get better with age.  🙂

jane austen inspired bridal shower tea party

Here are some pics from a recent Jane Austen inspired bridal shower tea party my sister hosted for our cousin.  I helped create the invitations, party favors, and the decor used throughout the party.

A custom silhouette of the bride-to-be was used on the invite as well as the party favors, which were lavender scented sachets.

Small tea cup floral arrangments, Jane Austen books and quotes were used as decoration throughout the house.

dutch style inspired birthday invitation

For Ms. Lana’s 75th Birthday Celebration, her kids wanted to go with a Dutch inspired theme to play tribute to something that their Mom really loves.  So I suggested the idea of doing a delftware tile inspired invitation.

The blue and white design paired real nicely with a bright yellow square envelope, which is Ms. Lana’s favorite color.

To mimic the look at feel of tile, I printed on a thick, smooth, silky paper stock with a spot varnish on the printed pattern.

And for party favors we recreated a mini 2″ style tile magnet using the same design from the front of the invitation so guests had a little something to take home and remember Ms. Lana’s celebration.

“Dank u” means thank you in Dutch.

If you’re interested in ordering something similar to this invite, party favor or would like to have something printed with a spot varnish treatment, feel free to contact me for more details.
