Today, I’m happy to share with you the invitations we designed + letterpress printed for our daughter’s third birthday party.
After lots of thought, we decided to throw Em a pixie party! Like her first two birthday invites, I wanted to include a picture of the birthday girl and a little something fun for each recipient. So, in keeping with the theme, I mixed up some magical pixie dust and sprinkled it inside a little washi taped clear envelope.
We chose a soft off-white deckled edge Italian paper for her invitation,
and letterpress printed five colors on each invite. If you look closely, you can see a rainbow of yellow, green, blue, purple + pink.
The invite, pixie dust and picture were all bound together with cream + gold twine.
And the pieces all nestled inside a square envelope.
So, here they are. Em’s fairy special third birthday party invitations for her pixie party!
Beautiful! We loved receiving it in the mail.
Well, they’re just absolutely exquisite. What a treat for a guest to receive one of these — and what a lucky girl to have her parents make such lovely invitations for her!
