POLAR EXPRESS Birthday . Ticket Invitation

The Polar Express is one of my favorite secular Christmas stories. We were privileged to take our son on a Polar Express experience in Ohio last year and so many wonderful memories were made. Chris Van Allsburg, author of The Polar Express was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan (where I am based). Our city is referenced in the movie and the snowy winter atmosphere featured certainly feels like home.

 When I received the request for this project, the concept of a golden ticket immediately jumped to mind. The invitation is double-sided and printed on a very thick, metallic gold coverstock with notched ends to create the ticket shape.

This mom also wanted thank you cards that included a message, but these can be ordered blank as well. I was tickled to see how they turned out and hope that this little guy has an amazing birthday!

I also think these could be easily altered to accommodate a non-birthday event and could even be super cute gift tags...especially for train-loving little boys & their classmates!
