Some birthdays are dinner. This one starts after dinner. A gold 21 sits inside a big rose velvet bow, After Hours runs underneath in spaced capitals, and the name is written in a gold script on blush paper with a thin burgundy border. It looks like it came in an envelope, which is the point.
The night it belongs to is a dressed-up one: a cocktail party at home with a bar cart and a playlist, a reserved table at a lounge, or a late dinner that turns into dancing. Bows on the gift bags, a velvet ribbon on the cake and a dress code that says heels keep the theme going.
Type in the name, the date and the place, and it is ready to send to the group. Twenty-one is the occasion here, but a thirtieth or any birthday that deserves a bow can borrow it.
