Red, blue and yellow, and nothing else. Milo’s invitation is cut from paper: big round dots, two folded fans in the corners and a scatter of small confetti, all on bright white. The title sits in the middle in a round, friendly hand, and the card looks as happy as a one-year-old with a balloon.
It suits a boy or a girl, a backyard or a playroom, and parents who are tired of pastel. Put in the name, the day and the place and it is ready to go; the colors do the rest. Nothing you type leaves your phone.
For the party, keep the same three colors and the same shapes: paper fans on the wall, round balloons, a plain white cake with dots of icing, and a bowl of oversized confetti the birthday boy can throw in the air for the photo.
