This invitation foreshadowed a momentous 30th birthday, celebrated by dinner and billiards in downtown Boston. Fresh, chic colors were set against modern contrasting paper; the three layers of the invite (chartreuse backing, graphic contrast paper, silver invite text) were bound by a silver grommet. The contrast paper also was used to line the envelopes. I also created a matching business-sized foldover card including "portable details," so guests would still look cool even if they had to look up where it was that they were next headed.
