Watercolor Invitations.

For the theme of Audrey's fourth birthday party I decided to combine two of her very favorite things: watercolor painting and dancing.  Watercolor was used in the decor and dancing was the activity.

After designing super simple invitations I had Audrey paint over the "Let's Dance" portion in the colors she chose for her party- pink (of course), orange and yellow. A little bit of yellow stitching and rounded corners finished them off.

Luckily, Lindsay helped + wrote each of the guests names on the envelopes in her amazing handwriting.

I'm going to be honest, It was tough balancing the "dance" theme portion of the party. I spent an entire morning wavering between an invite that was designed like a record or something more subtle. Ultimately, (with Lindsay's help) I came to this design. I think this invitation strikes a nice balance and although it took a while to decide on the concept, the design came together in a jiffy once it was started. Plus, you should have seen how proud Miss Audrey was to be a part of the process. It made me so happy to see her creating something she was so excited about.
