Three silk butterflies rest at the corners of this card, their wings translucent, their ribs fine as wire, and a thin gold seam runs along the lilac edge. The title is written in plum calligraphy with a champagne highlight, and nothing else competes with it.
It is the most delicate card on this page, meant for a girl’s party with a garden-room feel, and for a mother who wants the invitation to look like it came from a stationer rather than a toy store.
Serve lavender lemonade and macarons, hang paper butterflies on thread so they turn in the breeze, and cut a cake with a few sugar butterflies on the side. A butterfly release is lovely if you can find a supplier; a bubble machine does the job for a fraction of the cost.
