process // drive-in anniversary

Recently, I had a client approach me to design an invitation to her parents' 50th anniversary celebration. The theme? The drive-in movies. Why? Because that's where her dad proposed all those years ago. She told me she even planned to do a surprise outdoor movie at the party of the same film they watched that night. Can it get any cuter? I think not. (Actually it can though because their names are Larry and Lou. Like, seriously how adorable.) 

I'm all about a well-thought theme. The thing about themes, is that it's easy to fall into something cliché. This idea was too cute, so I wanted to do it justice– no popcorn clipart up in here. Instead, I took inspiration from vintage film titles.

Fifty years is BIG LEAGUE. I've made it three, and I think anyone who can make it 50 years probably should have an actual movie made about them. That's a lot of laundry, y'all. 

So maybe Larry and Lou don't have a movie about their lives (yet), but we can pretend. And so the final product?

Love. Might crash the party. (justkiddingoraminooneknows)

If you also have an adorable party idea and want some custom invitations to match, I am AVAILABLE. (Precious old couple names not required, but VERY appreciated because I like to scream about them to my husband and anyone else nearby.) You can visit my Etsy shop and send me a message to get started. 

I promise to be as enthusiastic as you, if not more so, about all your party ideas. <3
