Birthday's Abound!

Along with creating wedding invitations for the upcoming summer and fall weddings, I have had to design a few birthday invitations. This one I can post because I am pretty sure my 90 year old Grandpa is not on the internet, he may not even have cable!!! As I said this is for my Grandpa who will be turning 90 this July and God Bless him he still drives, works and is as sharp as a tack!!!

He has been in the Auto industry his whole life and we thought about doing something along those lines but my mind went towards a custom beer label or a old cigar box/band look. I settled on the cigar look. After looking online at what these used to look like I came up with my design.
The front is to look like the top of the box and the inside is the info as if you opened it and were looking in. The envelope has a custom address label that is made to look like the band and is cut to fit and printed on crack and peel stock. The return address wraps around the back.

My mom designs cakes and we decided that we would take the front of the invite and design a sheet cake to look like that. So here is the invite!!!
I will post the others when I can as they are surprises and the Birthday girls and boys are internet savvy!
