First Birthday Party Invitations for Boys and Girls

November 08, 2010

London, UK based Biplane Press has such adorable letterpress first birthday party invitations for both boys and girls. The invites are designed with rounded corners for a softer feel, and each design features imagery that’s both stylish and fitting for girls (a buzzing bee with sugar sweet berries) or boys (a sweet little plane with vintage mail elements). Invitations can be customized in black ink with your choice of second color and will make a lovely addition to a very special birthday celebration.

Thomas the Train Inspired Birthday Party Invites

October 11, 2010

Themed children’s birthday party invitations often feature licensed imagery of popular cartoons and can be found at grocery stores, craft stores, and card stores, pretty much all over the place. There’s not necessarily anything wrong with this, but because these mass market invites often carry exactly the same themes and imagery, they’re not very original.

On the other hand, I love it when a designer takes inspiration from these same cartoons and characters and creates a custom invitation that’s not just great looking and original — it’s also an invite that the birthday girl or boy will enjoy and immediately identify with the cartoon. Rachel from Pencil Shavings has done just that in these custom birthday party invites for Wyatt, and she took her inspiration from Thomas the Train, a show that Wyatt is “madly in love” with. I love the bold red and blue palette, and the train ticket-like invite, which is so clever!

Each design is available with fill-in lines or as an imprintable that you can run through your printer. These invites are just so much fun that I can’t help but smile when I look at them.
