The chalet is already lit when the guests arrive: snow on the roof, warm windows, lanterns on both sides, pine and plaid along the edges of the card. Below the carved title there is gold script for whoever is hosting.
It is the invitation for a ski weekend, a Christmas party at a mountain house, a family reunion at a rented lodge or a holiday dinner for people who would rather be in the snow. Fill in the hosts, the weekend and the address, and the card does the rest.
Plan the party like the picture: fondue or a big pot of stew, mulled wine, boots by the door, a plaid tablecloth and a night walk in the snow with lanterns. Sent in a message, it opens as a little winter scene wherever it lands.
