Birthday Invitations

My parents have decided to host a birthday bash for me (I love them, they're so sweet) at their house and "hired" me to make my own invitations.  As odd as it is to have designed my own invites, I had a blast.

I decided to have fun with the colors and chose fuchsia & black; the backing is a glittery black card stock, the invitation layers are fuchsia card stock glued to both sides of the black backing, and the content is all in black.

For the envelopes, since it was such short notice I couldn't place an order online. After checking out Staples, it didn't seem worth it to spend extra money on colored envelopes (for far more than it costs online) when I had over sized ivory ones at home. Yes, they were bulk and not so pretty, but I printed a martini on the front along with the addresses, and a balloon on the back with the return address. They turned out great!

So here they are:

So far, everyone has loved them. What do you think?
