Birthday Party Invitations on Vellum
Every birthday has a moment when the invitation arrives and guests decide how much they are looking forward to it. These birthday party invitations are made of soft translucent vellum with foil lettering, and the effect is quiet and polished. The name, the age and the details of the day glow gently through the sheet, so the card looks refined from the first glance and makes the celebration feel like an occasion.
The design works for any age, which makes it easy to personalize. Add the name of the guest of honor, the milestone, the date, the time and the venue, whether it is an 18th, a 21st, a 30th, a 40th, a 50th or any birthday in between. Choose wording that sounds like your event, from playful to formal. A digital proof is prepared first, so you can see exactly how your personalized birthday invitations will look, and changes are available until every detail feels right.
These adult birthday invitations suit a dinner party, a lively evening with friends or a larger gathering with family. Vellum gives each card a delicate, dreamy quality that guests notice the moment they hold it. After your approval, your order is proofed, corrected and prepared over 1 to 2 weeks before it ships. It is the kind of invitation that people keep on the refrigerator and talk about long after the cake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not to worry. Nothing is final until you approve it. During the digital proof stage you can add or adjust any missing information before anything goes to print.
After you order, a digital proof of your suite is prepared for you. You review it, request any changes, and only once you are happy does it move to print. Layout and revisions are part of the process from the start.
Absolutely. The wording is yours to write, traditional, modern or entirely your own voice, and the layout adapts around it. You can also have your suite in another language: just send your phrases in the language you would like, and they will be set into the design.
Yes. You are always welcome to send several, and you can also swap the image during the digital proof stage to see which one you love most.
Yes. On photo designs, a high-resolution image becomes part of the suite, layered beneath vellum or printed on fine art paper. A QR code can be added to the details card, linking guests straight to your wedding website.
The digital proof is your chance to catch anything. Nothing prints until you approve it, so check names, dates and spelling carefully at that stage.
Colors can vary slightly between screens and print, since every monitor renders differently. The proof gives you a clear preview, and foil in particular has a shine no screen can fully show.
Crafting takes about 2 weeks, with layout and revisions included in that time.
