Gingerbread men in bow ties, hearts with icing, snowflake stars and a little house with a snowy roof: this card smells of cinnamon before you read a word. It is the invitation for a gingerbread night, whether the builders are six or forty.
It suits a gingerbread house decorating party, a kids’ Christmas party, a family baking afternoon, a cookie exchange or a Christmas birthday. Name the hosts, the time and the address, and say whether kits are provided, because that is the first question every parent will ask.
Ideas from the picture: pre-built houses so the fun is in the decorating, bowls of gumdrops and candy canes, royal icing in piping bags, cocoa on the side, and a prize for the wobbliest house. Send the invitation from your phone and it opens on every screen; print it for the kitchen.
