FROZEN . gatefold birthday invitation

I love this custom new invitation design. The sequin and snowflake lace textures are PRINTED on the outside of the gatefold and tied together with an aqua satin ribbon. I used Elsa's dress as my inspiration.

JUMP! . birthday invitation

I've recently had quite a few requests for invitation designs for parties to be held at trampoline parks, Sky Zone specifically. These are typically requests for older kids and they want something that looks cool and not too juvenile. Sky Zone has a lot of blue and orange and of course the trampolines are black in their facilities so that is the color scheme I chose. I specifically used silhouettes of kids that are not gender specific.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or go directly to my NealonDesign Etsy store to purchase this invitation as a printable digital file or completed printed sets.

Thank you for your interest!

GARBAGE/Recycle Truck . birthday invitation

I am very slowly, but surely adding all of my invitations to my NealonDesign Etsy store!

This GARBAGE-RECYCLE Truck . birthday invitation design is now available for easy purchase on the site as either a digital (DIY) file or as printed sets.

Little boys LOVE trucks of all kinds, but some little guys look forward to that magical time of the week when the garbage or recycle truck comes around!

This invitation is a fun design specifically for those little guys. I love the bright primary colors and distressed fonts. The organization of the party details is one of my favorite parts of the design.

BUTTERFLY Birthday!

I received a request for an invitation with mainly purple and butterflies for a very special almost 5 year old girl!

I've decided to post 2 options that I provided because they are so different.

The WATERCOLOR BUTTERFLY invitation design is shown as a 5x7 with rounded corners. The colors cannot be altered in this design, but the age is easily modified and is also available in the 4x6 size with rounded corners. The sets come with white envelopes, but colored envelopes are available for the 5x7 size. The watercolor vector was designed by Freepik.

BUTTERFLY SILHOUETTES is shown as a 5x7 in the quatrefoil shape. I can adjust the colors to whatever you have in mind to match your party color scheme. Colored envelopes also available in the 5x7 size only. This invitation can be ordered as a 4x6 with rounded corners, not in the quatrefoil shape.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. Please specify which design you prefer. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

SWEET TO THE CORE birthday invitation

Can I go to this party??

The birthday girl's mom was pretty specific about wanting black/white stripes, gold-glitter (printed) pineapples, hot pink, green, & yellow with the cute little saying she provided. She also sent me a few photos of the pineapple shaped drinks that she ordered and the overall color scheme.  I love how it turned out!

The invitation shown is a 5x7 with rounded corners. I'm happy to design address stickers or return address printing and am happy to whip up additional "extras" at your request. The invitation is also available as a 4x6 single or double-sided. The sets come with white envelopes, but pink or black envelopes are available only in the 5x7 size.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

Dr. Seuss THING ONE & THING TWO Birthday

If children have birthdays close together in the year, sometimes it is easier and cost effective to throw a double party. Invitations are not always easy to find, so I whipped up something special for this dynamic duo and they turned out really cute!

The invitation shown is a 5x7 with rounded corners and shows the two sided printing with the girls' photo on the back. I've already designed return address stickers (shown), and am happy to whip up additional "extras" at your request. The invitation is also available as a 4x6 single or double-sided. The sets come with white envelopes, but a red envelope is an optional upgrade available only in the 5x7 size.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

HARRY POTTER / QUIDDITCH Birthday

I have been so busy (I need to add a whole new section to the blog for PRINTS), but I just had to add this latest invitation. I'm a Harry Potter lover myself and I love how this invitation turned out. The birthday boy wants to play Quidditch at the party. I'm not exactly sure how that works without a little magic, but I was up to create an invite for the occassion.

I've adorned this one with classic Gryffindor colors and the invitation is a 5x7 with notched corners.

I am happy to work up additional "extras", just let me know what you have in mind!

LITTLE BLUE TRUCK Birthday

 My boys love these books and it is so cute to decorate with trucks and animals!

The invitation is shown as a 5x7, but can also be ordered as a 4x6. The sets come with plain white envelopes.

The pennants are only $1.25 each, so spell out whatever you wish! They come with holes punched in the corners and with plenty of ribbon. You may connect or attach however you wish.

MAJOR LEAGUE Birthday

The snow has finally melted and spring is here. Time for baseball!

I was recently asked to come up with a ticket-style invitation for a specific team. I did some research on ticket styles and combined quite a few elements to create  something catchy and full of spirit for our little sluggers!

I have only done 6 teams (so far) but I can design a ticket for any team...probably even some minor league teams.

Each design features the teams colors, 2 logos, the city skyline, and a photo of the birthday child as well as all pertinent event details. Please note that I simply used the stadiums as samples, but a home address or local party establishment is more than appropriate.

The sets are monarch sized (3.35x7.35") and in the ticket shape. They come with plain white envelopes and I am happy to design coordinating return address stickers, signage, banners, thank you cards...you name it. Just let me know!

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

PUPPY Birthday Invitations

A feminine birthday invitation for dog-loving little girls.

I couldn't decide which invitation I preferred, so I decided to post both. The color scheme requested was pink, black and white but that is very customizable.

The "A" design features a Dalmation, but I can easily change out the silhouette for tons of different breeds. It is available in any of my 5x7 shapes  or as a 4x6 with rounded corners. It is shown in as a quatrefoil.

The "B" design has more restrictions because of the scalloped interior shape. The sketched dog shape must remain the same, but if you would like it in one of my shapes other than rounded corners, I can eliminate the border.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

Please specify if you prefer the A or B design. Return address printing, stickers, banners, thank you cards and any other printed pieces are available...just let me know what you have in mind!

CAMPOUT Birthday

CAMPOUT! So fun! The client wanted to use classic camping icons or signage on the invitation and I used rugged trees and a bold, distressed, display font to create an eye-catching design. The colors shown are bright & youthful, but can be dulled a bit for a more mature look.

My son and his friends (and a couple of dads) slept in a tent last summer for his 6th birthday. Now I really wish I had fully embraced the whole "camping" theme because there are a ton of great ideas on Pinterest under "campout birthday".

These invitations are a great start and set the tone for an amazing party!

Please EMAIL ME with questions.

I have now added the invitation to my NealonDesign Etsy store! If you are interested in any of the "extras" please include that in your message with invitation purchase and I'll set up a listing for you!

The sample shows the 5x7 invitation, colored "marigold" envelope, return address sticker and a 2" return address sticker. If you need additional pieces to fit this theme (thank you cards, banners, party signs, etc.) just let me know and I can design them for you!

TWINKLE STAR Birthday

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is often one of the very first nursery rhymes or songs that we learn as kids. So, it is very fitting for a first birthday theme. It is easy to use star cookie cutters for sandwiches and hang a few Christmas lights from the ceiling. Voila, an adorable party!

I love the use of the popular color combination of pinks, gold, white and cream in this invitation. The gold is simply printed and is not a 3D glitter (though you could add that yourself). This was designed for a first birthday, but I think it would be equally adorable at any age! The colors can also be altered to meet your party vision.

This is one of the first designs I've created with all of my new dies in mind. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to showcase all of the options. I've shown the 5x7 using the quatrefoil shape, but I can just as easily keep it rounded (or any of the other shapes). The 5x7 allows for a colored envelope option ($.23 each) and the flap of the envelope holds the return address just beautifully ($.20 per envelope).

I also wanted to show the same design using the "curvy monarch" size. I love that the name fits perfectly in the center, just where the invitation bumps out. The curves make it extra special, but the cost is still low! The sets come with white envelopes. I can print the return address on the back flap or am happy to design adorable address stickers at your request.

If you need additional pieces to fit this theme (thank you cards, banners, party signs, etc.) just let me know and I can design them for you.

This last image shows the size options together. They are all to scale.

PETER PAN Birthday

This invitation design was inspired by my Pirates & Mermaids design.
I altered the colors to create a nighttime scene, added iconic character silhouettes and the birthday year to the mast of the ship.

The design is shown as a 5x7 with double rounded corners. Though it is not shown in the monarch size, it should work that way as well. Click here to view the baby shower version that shows a similar design cropped into the curvy monarch shape.

Please EMAIL ME to place an order or if you have any questions about this design. 

To order, simply email me all of the specifics for your event, as well as the size/shape preferred and total quantity needed. If you need wording changes or have special color requests, just let me know in the email. The total turnaround time for this design is approximately one week from order to delivery. I am happy to work up thank you cards, stickers, etc at your request.

JOHN DEERE - TRACTOR Birthday

I recently completed baby shower invitations with this John Deere theme and decided to alter one of the original design options for a birthday. I thought it would be fun to include 2 options, one with a photo and one without.

This invitation is available as a 4x6 or 5x7 (shown). White envelopes are included in the price of the sets. Colored envelopes in the 5x7 size are available for $.23 each. Return address printing (shown), flat or fold-over thank you cards, stickers and other printed pieces are available as well.

Please EMAIL ME with inquiries or to place an order.

When ordering, please specify preferred size and version (logo or photo), the quantity needed, standard event details and don't forget to include the child's age!

Pricing is based on size and is on the far right side of the web version of the blog. If you are unable to see it (mobile) I am happy to send you a price list.

ALL-AMERICAN Birthday

It may not be the 4th of July, but it is always a good time to celebrate being an American. Robert and his family love all things red, white, and blue! This birthday will be so fun to decorate and I absolutely love the special patriotic photos that were taken for his big day!

This invitation is available as a 4x6 or 5x7 (shown). Colored envelopes for the 5x7 are available. I recommend red or I also have white with red stripes printed on the inside of the envelope...super cute (while supplies last). Return address printing (shown), flat or fold-over thank you cards, and other printed pieces are available as well.

I haven't tried this concept with other birthdays, but I'm sure I could make it work if your birthday boy is older than one! :)

Please EMAIL ME with inquiries or to place an order.

When ordering, please specify preferred size, the quantity needed, and include any requests in addition to the standard event information.

KITTY-CAT Birthday invitation

Many little girls love kitties, and pink...but not everyone loves Hello Kitty. This invitation is a great, graphic alternative with fun fonts and enough frills to make any little girl happy. However, the design is also clean and simple allowing for tons of decorating potential.

If you would prefer a white kitty instead of black, it looks cute on a pink polka-dot background, too.

Please EMAIL ME with inquiries or to place an order.
Specify preferred size (4x6 or 5x7-shown), the number needed, and if you prefer the white or black cat.

RUBBER DUCKY Birthday

Brinna is one of the sweetest girls I know and she LOVES her ducks, so incorporating them into her birthday theme seemed fitting. Her mom also wanted nautical elements so we used traditional navy/white nautical stripes and wording.

The invitation is shown as a 5x7 with yellow envelopes and return address stickers. The sets come with white, but a colored option is available for an additional charge. The stickers are sold by the sheet and come in 2" and 2.5" sizes.

I am happy to adjust wording and colors as needed. I also think this invitation design would work great for a second birthday also, adding the duck to the "o" of TWO.

I am also willing to change out the script font for a less feminine font if you are interested in the invitation for a little boy.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order.

PLANES birthday invitation

I'm a bit late to the game with this PLANES design, but it turned out really cute.  It has the popular "ticket" format, but I am happy to remove the barcode at the bottom at your request.

These are available in the economic, "monarch" size and look adorable customized.

Return address printing, address stickers, favor stickers and thank you cards are available also. Just let me know what you have in mind.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order.

COMIC Mickey & Minnie Birthday

This design derived from a request for a set of boy/girl twins and they wanted Mickey & Minnie alone on the same invitation. I basically combined several of my designs and added a fun, Mickey comic background to add a little texture.

I think it would work great for one child also.

The COMIC Mickey & Minnie design is available as a 5x7 (shown) or a 4x6 and comes with plain white envelopes. Colored envelopes (for the 5x7 size) are available as is return address printing on the envelope flap.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order.
