The Start of 'Ber Months

Hiya all!

How are you all doing on the 1st day of the 'ber months? As for me, as family tradition, I played Christmas songs as loud as we could endure! Haha!

Well, aside from singing along my fave Christmas songs, I am currently planning out the invites for my grandma's (lola's) 75th birthday. I am in charge of the invites, so right now, I am starting to plan out the design for the invites.

Since it's a 75th birthday, I think that already is a diamond birthday. Somewhat like the weddings, but we adapted it for her birthday. So, our theme would be mainly baby/light blue and silver.

Below are the inspirations I got for the invites I would be making which I saved to my Pinterest. I will then post photos of my completed samples once I finish. :D


Photo above will be on the center of my invite, with "75" in place of "Wedding Invitation" shown above. I would probably be making the background in silver, and the numbers, ribbons and butterflies will remain as white.

And, photo above will be where the birthday details will be such as place, time and date, etc...

I am pretty much excited of what I will be able to come up with! :D Let's see how this goes. Let the creative juices start flowing! :D

Cheers!

  14. Those butterflies in the invitation look so intricate. You'll need a head start and plenty of help to get all the invitations done. Your grandma would certainly appreciate all the hard work you'd be putting into it.
