Who doesn't love receiving an invitation? Whether it's to a small gathering, to a wonderful wedding! I know I do!
I think my creative side came out when trying to organise the perfect invitation for my 18th birthday party. I was sick of seeing those 'photo' invitations, having a photo as a baby and then a recent photo. I wanted to be different!
For some reason I wanted to host a 60/70's dress up party! I played around with a few ideas and decided that I wanted my invitations on vinyl, however that proved to be too expensive, so CDs it was.
My father also has a creative side working in design and signwriting and had the perfect tools to help me create my perfect invitation, in their very own clear covered CD case!
It's still talked about today....7 years later.
For my 21st birthday, it was the same thing! Those damn photo invitations again!!! This time I wanted magnetic invitations! With the help of my father again, we created a full magnetic square invitation. It had a gold martini glass with the information over the top. Can you believe, people still have these on the fridges, years later!!
Through the next couple of years, I help create invitations for a lot of family and friends. From birthdays, engagement, weddings and baby showers. Each one always completely different, using lovely papers and embellishments.
Then it came time to organised my own engagement party. I searched high and low for the perfect papers, and then for the cheapest price! I created 100 engagement invitations and thank you cards for less than $150.
Please excuse the bad quality of the photos...


My dream now is to help others create their perfect invitaitons at a cheaper price! I now work with wholesalers, which gives me even more savings to pass on!
