Brad's 30th Birthday Invitation
The Brief: Brad's wife Sarah was planning his 30th birthday celebrations in Bendigo - the party was to have a "B" theme after Brad's name and Sarah wondered how she could subtly suggest B characters for guests to dress up as. We came up with this simple idea for Brad's invite that celebrated all things B. Colour cues were taken from the venue, GPO, which has a great contemporary scheme.

Kim's Bollywood Birthday Invitation
The Brief: Kim, a wedding planner by trade, was putting together a birthday party ... for a very tough client, herself! Bollywood and hot pink were the requirements, and together we came up with something very elaborate that was sure to set the tone for an unforgettable soirée!

Ross' 50th Birthday Invitation
The Brief: This is another project commissioned by Miammi, this time for her dad, Ross, who was celebrating his 50th birthday in style. It's not often in this line of work that you get a request for an invitation that includes fishing paraphenalia, but Ross' invite was a lovely change of pace - the bright yellows in this design never fail to bring a smile!

Meg's and Mel's 30th Invitation + 10 Years Together
The Brief: One of our favourite clients, Miammi, commissioned this glamorous invitation for two women very close to her, Megs and Mel, who were not only celebrating a joint 30th birthday party, but their 10th anniversary as well! We created a beautiful blue invitation, featuring photos of the girls, designed around the theme of "glow", and their own monogrammed casino chips!

Selma's 30th Invitation
The Brief: Selma was planning a glitzy affair, with an "S" costume theme! All decor for the party was to be black, gold and pink, including faux diamonds and sparkles, and she mentioned a love of Pandora jewellery - so we based a cute, vibrant and sophisticated design around this vision!

Dayle's 4oth Invitation

The Brief: Dayle is a very special and unique person, and her invitation is an accurate reflection of this: we were given the idea of an Eastern-influenced invitation design and went to town with creating something truly memorable for Dayle's birthday celebrations. A favourite feature of this project is the format of the invitation - twin Koi swim around a circular fastening that kept the invitation closed - when the Koi were pulled outwards, the circle of the fastening became the "0" in 40, the birthday girl's age, included in the party details inside. We also enjoyed creating little custom tags that, when tied to the circular fastening, created the feel of a gift to Dayle's friends and family - much like the generous and delicious celebration she bestowed on those close to her. Each invitation was painstakingly hand cut to add to the ornate detail of the piece and layered with beautiful patterns and striking Eastern iconography.

Jayde's 30th Invitation
The Brief: Jayde is a very treasured friend of mine, and when she called to say she was planning a party, I informed her I would be doing her invitations. Didn't ask, informed. Luckily, she was a fan of the idea! Jayde's a bit of a fashionista and always the life of a party, so we designed an invitation fitting of her vibrant, modern personality. Snaps of Jayde out on the town, along with some pretty script type and a couple of sparkles accent her party information, and an illustration of a bus was included to indicate the nature of the evening: Jayde's closest friends were treated to a bus trip around Bendigo to various night hot spots.
