here is my latest custom designed baby shower invitation.
on the more simpler side, an A2 size flat invitation with the nursery’s theme as inspiration.
for my niece’s 4th birthday she is going to have a mad hatter tea party.
i love the mad hatter tea party theme because it allows me to play with all sorts of fun colors. the hat is made of glitter felt fabric, with actual ribbon used as the trim and paper flowers with a rhinestone center as added embellishment. i got to pair it up with fushia envelopes, lined with the perfect orange with white polka dot wrapping paper.
for my dad’s 60th birthday i thought it would be fun to take one of his old black and white pictures and turn it into a record album cover. and so my dad’s album (danny boy) was called, “an oldie, but goodie”. each invitation was mailed out as a miniature record album with details about the party printed on a record shape paper that you pulled out of the sleeve.
for the cake, my mom made it resemble an old record player. how cool is that???
as guests left, each was sent home with a collection of songs that my dad enjoys. i found cds that resembled records and used that to burn each copy and tucked each one inside the same album cover that was used for the invitation with the addition of the song title and artists on the backside.
for my nephew’s 1st birthday we did an airplane themed party.
all the guests we’re mailed invitations that resembled airline tickets. each invitation was personalized with each guest’s names printed on each ticket to give it a more personal and realistic touch. maybe too realistic because a few aunts and uncles really thought they had won a free airplane ticket! lol…
my mom created this amazing airplane shaped cake with little cupcakes with cloud toppers surrounding the entire cake.
