A long table under glass. Climbing roses on the iron frame, a crimson cloth, peonies in the centerpiece and a golden 18 standing among the flowers: this invitation sets a dinner in a greenhouse, and the name follows in a slim gold script under the painted headline.
Use it for an eighteenth that calls for a sit-down dinner. A botanical garden with a glasshouse, a restaurant with a conservatory room or a backyard greenhouse cleared for one evening all fit. Set the table with candles and loose garden flowers, play something quiet, serve three courses and let the evening run long. Guests will dress for it.
Fill in the name, the date and the place, and it is ready to send. The card works just as well for a garden wedding shower or a milestone dinner for a parent.
