Birthday Invitations

It's my lovely mom's birthday in May and I'm making a trip home to join the celebrations!
Naturally my mom has asked me to design some birthday invitations/stationery for her.

Dear Che,

Please could you do some invitations for my birthday celebrations for May. 

I think I want to have a 'Jeans and Jewels' theme - you know, pretty casual but still nice, you know a dash of something fancy.

Let me know

I can't wait to see you!

Dear Mom,

Yay! I'm so excited! That's a great theme for you! 

I've made some invite samples for a pretty "jeans and jewels" theme which i've attached - I'm not sure about venues or times - so the text is all random. I also have some great ideas for making it casual but still pretty and beautiful! YAY!

Let me know what you think and I will make changes.

love

me

Dear Che

Actually, I've changed my mind. I think it's going to be "just jeans"now - nothing fancy or glitzy for me.

Also we might have it in a barn - so maybe you could change the chandelier for another picture. There are no chandeliers in the barn. Nothing fancy or beautiful or anything like that.

Love

Mom

Dear Mom

WHAT?! Why are you changing the theme? It was nice for you! I highly disapprove of this change. But anyway I have changed the invitations and chandelier pictures accordingly to fit your new 'barn-theme'.

Let me know what you think.

Che

ps. Don't get me wrong - events in barns are AWESOME. 

but they should still be a touch of fancy....

PS. We eventually went with a 'cartoon-style' invitation, which pleased us both. haha. Will post pictures of it soon - I'm sad I didn't get to spend mother's day with my wonderful mom yesterday - but I will be home soon (6 days!) to celebrate. YAY!

I hope all the moms had a lovely day yesterday :)
