Pizza is the birthday party that never gets turned down. This card wears the look of a checked tablecloth: red gingham in the top corners, a few basil leaves, slices with melted cheese peeking in at the bottom, and a headline written in bright red script like a menu board.
The birthday name goes in matching red script, the day and the place in brown underneath. Three fields, and the order is in.
Make the party itself a pizza-making one. Set out rounds of dough, bowls of sauce, cheese and toppings, and let every guest build their own on a square of parchment with their name on it. Ten minutes in the oven while they play, then dinner, then a cake that looks like a pizza. Works for kids, teenagers and the adults who stayed. Ninety minutes is enough.
