I’m definitely looking forward to all the fun birthday party invitations in Sophie’s future, and these adorable invitations (all the way from Holland!) are making me even more excited! Elisa from Little Inks created these invitations for her daughter Maia’s 3rd birthday party, incorporating an adorable illustration of Maia as a princess and a giant neon pink balloon. Too cute!

From Elisa: Like many little girls, Maia was turning 3 years old and wanted to have a Princess-themed birthday party. As much as I knew she would love it, I just couldn’t bring myself to use one of the Disney Princess invitations! I tried to incorporate some of the things that I knew she would love into the design, but also something that I would be happy to keep as a nice memento. Her little friends seemed quite happy to receive their invitations (one even slept with hers), so I was hoping that maybe other people might enjoy seeing them too.

The design includes hand lettering by me and the little drawing is my doodle of Maia holding her birthday balloon and her favorite toy/stuffy. The invitations are letterpress printed on Original Crown Mill 280 grams cream stock using neon pink and black ink using an Asbern ADR-1 Proof Press.

Thanks Elisa!
