This is the first birthday card for a family who loves old things. A wide burgundy ribbon is tied in a bow at the top, small roses and sprigs trail down the sides, and a border of lace runs along the bottom of the blush paper. Eleanor’s name is written in copperplate, as if on a gift.
Choose it for a girl, for an autumn or winter party, and for a dining room rather than a backyard. The bow is drawn; the words are typed by you and can be changed as often as you like before you send it.
For the table, burgundy and blush: velvet ribbon around white napkins, roses in low glass bowls, a tiered cake with a single bow on top and a small gift for the birthday girl to open on her first birthday, wrapped in the same ribbon.
