Morning light through blue doors. Tulips in a jug, a stack of waffles, fresh oranges, a pitcher of juice and a tall cake with a golden 18 on top: this invitation is a birthday brunch in a sunroom, and the name is written in a loose gold script under the painted headline.
Brunch suits an eighteenth that starts the day instead of ending it. Set up a waffle station, a fruit platter and a pot of coffee, add a pancake stack with a candle in it, and keep it to a late morning so the afternoon stays free. A sunroom, a kitchen island or a café with a window table all work.
Type in the name, the date and the place, and send it. It also fits a birthday brunch for a mom, a sister or a friend who loves mornings.
