A skating rink is the easiest teen birthday there is. The music, the lights and the floor are already paid for; you bring the cake and the people. This invitation sets the mood before anyone laces up: a pair of lilac skates with satin bows, purple flowers in the corners and waves of pink and peach paper rolling across the card.
Her name, the date and the rink are the only things to fill in. The purple of the big letters carries into them, so the card still looks like one piece.
Send it two weeks ahead so parents can plan rides, and add a note about skate rentals if the rink charges separately. A table near the rail with pizza and a cooler of drinks is all the hosting a rink party needs.
