Anastasia’s Glitter + Gold Birthday Party Invitations

I’ve had the pleasure of featuring Anastasia’s birthday party invitations for the past two years – and today she’s back with the invitations for her 25th birthday! This year’s theme involves balloons and lots of gold glitter, and is accented with gold washi tape and sparkly twine. So cute and totally appropriate for the holiday season!

From Anastasia: I went with a vertical flip-style orientation, printed on smooth white cover weight paper with gray and gold inks. On the front, I printed a simple balloon outline and the inside portion had all the party info. I then hand-glittered balloon cutouts with a mix of fine gold glitter and a larger white glitter for an extra fancy look.

The glittered balloons were paired with gold string and secured onto the front of the invitations with mounting tape for a 3D look. The finished invitations were inserted into brown kraft envelopes and sealed with metallic gold washi tape.

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! So, we managed to get our tree and string lights… and haven’t made an ounce of progress since. I actually kind of love the look of our minimalist tree. This week Sophie turned 3 months old and my husband and I celebrated our 7-year dating anniversary by hiring a babysitter and going out to dinner alone for the first time in three months. We went to a new semi-secret restaurant in our neighborhood – very good food, but definitely not baby appropriate. Sophie handled the whole thing so well, I’m already looking forward to our next date night out! But in the meantime…

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! We’re hoping to get our Christmas tree this weekend, and I can’t wait to see Sophie’s reaction to all the twinkling lights and ornaments! Decorating the tree is my very favorite holiday tradition, one that I can’t wait to share with Sophie once she’s a bit older. I’m also taking bets as to which of our cats will be the first to climb (and get stuck in) the tree. Ah, the holidays! But in the meantime…
