Honeycomb glows in the top corners, a few gold bees drift across the paper, and a small honey pot waits at the bottom edge. The gold headline is engraved rather than printed, which gives the card a warmth that photographs beautifully in a phone message.
Grandparents, close friends and the neighbors who have been asking get it as soon as you have typed in the name, the morning and the place. Amber and cream suit any baby, and the card works just as well for a brunch as for an afternoon.
For the table, think honey: a honey cake or biscuits with a honey drizzle, lemonade sweetened with it, little jars tied with twine as favors, and a yellow gingham cloth. Guests can bring a box of wipes instead of a present. A kitchen or a sunny porch is all the venue you need.
