The porch is where this party lives. A coral door with a wreath, paper lanterns over wicker chairs, a tiered cake on a side table and a rose-gold balloon 18 leaning against the railing: the invitation shows exactly what guests will find when they walk up the steps. The name is written in a warm copper script, the same tone as the door.
It suits an eighteenth kept close to home, with family and the friends who have been in and out of that house for years. String lights along the railing, a lemonade stand, a cake from the kitchen and music on a small speaker are all it needs. Dusk is the right hour for it.
Type in the name, the date and the address, and send it to the group. Drawn for an eighteenth, it fits a graduation party on the same porch just as well.
