Oh how I love birthdays! I've designed so many birthday invitations these many years. I love, love, love them! They are so much fun to design. I especially love themed birthdays. Ever since having my kids, I wanted to give them the best birthday parties ever. Though, I wanted to give them some over-the-top Pinterest-like parties, my pockets couldn't keep up. They settled for the best looking themed designed invitations instead..well, ok more than that...they got some good looking party favors, as well. Kidding! I'm sure their parties were spectacular to them, which is all that mattered. Here are a few that I've designed for my kids in the past. I will post more when I get a chance.
My son love, love, loves Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. So, for his 2nd birthday, it was only natural to throw him a "Tiger-riffic" Party. The invitations turned out great, which made me happy and the party turned out to be a blast, which made my son happy. Win, win!
When my daughter was 2, her favorite show was Sesame Street...she loved herself some Elmo. I came up with this fun idea for her invitation. It turned out really well, very eye-catching with the primary colors and the special touch at the bottom that says, "Brought to you by the letter K and the number 2".
For Kaylah's 1st Birthday design, I chose to do what many parents do...somehow fit the first 12 months of your child's life in a little 4x6. I did just that in the column on the left or should I say, inside the number "1" on the left. Pretty neat, huh? Well, in 2009 it was. :)
I had a sweet lady at work approach me to design a birthday invitation for her husband's 50th birthday. It was a black and white event, very classy, very elegant. I chose to do this design. Simple, sophisticated. What more can I say?
