donna's birthday || brunch invitation

Your invitation is the first thing your guests will see.  Their first insight into the type of event they can expect.  Invitation suites should be created thoughtfully in this regard and emulate the mood and theme of the event.


For this simple brunch, I decided to use handcrafted elements to convey an intimate gathering of friends to celebrate a birthday.  A combination of kraft paper, textured cardstock and lace were used along with shimmering gold paint details.


Each invitation was hand-stamped and put together.  The peony design was carried through to the envelope and a subtle brushing of gold paint was applied around the edges of the kraft paper.  As the guests opened their invitation, the sides would shimmer in the light adding a chic touch to the invite.


Each invitation was secured with a simple strand of lace ribbon, hand addressed and mailed four weeks before the event date.  The perfect amount of time to gather RSVPs and keep the event fresh on your guests' minds.

Simple and sweet, just like the brunch that I will be able to share soon!
