Themed events are so fun - especially if guests come in appropriate costumes! :) Themes can instantly make even the most formal event feel more fun and casual, and they work for almost any occasion, including weddings, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, and dinner parties. This week's Sunday Sample Spotlight mixes a spirited Roaring Twenties theme with a modern red and navy color scheme.
This dark blue metallic "petal" envelope has four flaps (two of which I decorated in red argyle scrapbook paper) which fold in on itself to create its own envelope. The red scrapbook paper really pops against the dark navy, and calls to mind the red velvet curtains of a theatre. I wanted to use the "petal" envelope for this theme because I loved the act of opening up the envelope to this lively scene - like how one might sneak into a clandestine bar for some moonshine and a burlesque show. ;)
I created these silhouettes by tracing images I found on Google with Adobe Illustrator's pen tool. Then, I drew the music notes freehand with the pen tool so they'd feel more syncopated (instead of exact and manufactured), added a line of small red diamonds to border the left and right sides of the invitation (to relate back to the argyle pattern of the scrapbook paper on the envelope), and chose a period font.
Voila! A unique invitation perfect for any casual or formal Roaring Twenties event!
