These charming birthday party invitations are pure chef’s kiss. When our friend Colleen of Pen and Paper came to us with this design, we knew the printed cards would be amazing. While this invitation drew inspiration from our Midge save-the-date, the design took a very different yet equally creative and stunning direction.

The style is playful and has an effortlessly retro twist. One side bears ravioli-inspired artwork that is fun, whimsical, and minimalist. The other side features the text. A scalloped edge border mimics the shape of the artwork on the reverse side, creating consistency. The typography demonstrates an effortless balance between a breezy script for personality paired with simple, structured sans-serif text to keep it grounded. The soft, rounded corners reinforce that friendly, approachable feel and keep everything casual.

Warm goldenrod letterpress paired with our ivory smooth cotton paper gives the invitation a vintage sun-washed vibe, reminiscent of the Italian coast. Our luxuriously thick 3-ply paper lends the invitation a lavish, tactile component. The striped liner adds a subtle preppy touch, giving just enough pattern without overwhelming the clean layout. These birthday party invitations are casual yet curated. They are light, laid-back, and celebratory, and perfect for a gathering involving good food and good company. We hope Todd had an amazing birthday, and we are so happy to have brought this vision to life. Do you have an idea for charming birthday party invitations?
