Hot Card of the Year 2014 - "King Ted"
When our pals Amy and Evvy at Nota Bene in Pittsburgh, PA came to us with this concept, we almost couldn't believe it. Their client wanted to create an invitation suite for a surprise 70th birthday party that was worthy of a man whose friends call him "King Ted."
The details are stunning: a custom-cut, three-ply card, printed front and back and studded with 71 Swarovski crystal rhinestones. The invitation and its accompanying response card were presented in a box that was lined with patterned silk paper and topped with an additional custom-cut metallic paper embellishment and tag. The whole suite was wrapped in a shiny belly band for mailing.
To be sure that the entire evening stayed on theme, we also designed custom menus in four regal colors, custom die-cut place cards and a set of matching stationery for King Ted to express his gratitude to the many friends and family who celebrated with him.
We love this phenomenal suite not only because it is completely custom, but because it is a perfect example of what an invitation should be: an exquisite announcement that sets the stage for the upcoming event. You can bet that anyone who was summoned to the court of King Ted in such magnificent fashion was beyond eager to add this event to their busy social calendar!
