The headline says it: Holy Cow, it’s a party. A shaggy little highland calf, party hat on one horn, is carried up over a meadow of buttercups by a bunch of pink and gold balloons, castle and waterfalls glowing in the distance. It is one of those pictures toddlers point at and laugh, which is the best review an invitation can get.
The wording is playful rather than pretty: a bold headline, the name and the age, and a pun on the number two that works for exactly one birthday and works very well. The date and place follow in quiet letters. Sent as a video, balloons in the picture’s own pink and gold float up over the meadow and pop, which is exactly what a two-year-old wants from a screen.
A highland-cow party is easy to throw: yellow flowers, pastel balloons, a “moo” playlist, a cake with a shaggy fondant cow on top, and cow-print party hats. Works for boys and girls, ages one to four. Send it early, three weeks or so, and grandparents will want the printed version for the fridge.
