What's the difference between Art Nouveau and Art Deco Anyway?

Art Nouveau was in style before World War I and Art Deco came into style after.

The quick answer is that it all comes down to; "flowery" vs. "streamlined." Art Nouveau is the decorative one. It's the one with the twirls and swirls. Art Deco is sleeker. It's the one with the geometric lines, shapes and hard edges.

1920s Beach Party Invitations

5/30/2018

Roaring Twenties - A Day at the Beach Party

5" x 7" invitation features a vintage 1920's sepia image of people hanging out together at the beach dressed in stylish (for their time) roaring twenties bathing suits.

The parchment-look background has a dark brown border. The back is tan parchment with a dark brown border and houses all of your personalized party details.

A Day at the Beach Card

A Day at the Beach Card
by shelbysemail2

1920's theme parties are all the rage right now. They're the PERFECT theme for a party honoring someone who's about to turn thirty-years-old but it can be used successfully for a fun party for someone turning twenty-nine (again) or virtually any age.

We love this retro design because it uses a real vintage photo of a group of friends wearing their 1920's swimsuits and has the words, Hanging out with a few friends. Please join us.

It's shown as a birthday party invitation but it can be easily customized for any occasion with a beach, nautical, or summer theme.

In my opinion, nowadays, there's too much virtual mail. Don't get me wrong, it's always nice to receive an encouraging email but don't you think, every once in a while, it's nicer to get a piece of snail mail that can be treasured forever? That's where these fun postcards come into play.

The retro fan mail postcard features an old-fashioned four-blade electric fan with a very open cage. Obviously, these fans were outdated many, many years ago for safety issues but for the sake of the joke on this postcard, it's perfect!

These postcards are fun to keep on hand for when someone you know does something exciting or GREAT.

They got an A on their report card? Send some fan mail. They got the lead in the school play? Send them a fan mail postcard. Trust me, once you start thinking, you'll find that there's SO many opportunities to use these.

Saint Patrick Wants You St. Paddy's Day Invitations

2/13/2017

These fun Saint Patrick Wants You St. Paddy's Day Invitations are reminiscent of the Uncle Sam wants you posters that were hugely popular during World War I and again during World War II. In fact, at one time the original was nicknamed --"the most famous poster in the world."

The retro-inspired design features a leprechaun who looks notoriously like good-old Uncle Sam along with the words, Saint Patrick wants YOU to celebrate!

Instead of the red, white, and blue that is prominent in the original poster by James Montgomery Flagg, this invitation proudly displays St. Patrick wearing a green suit and shamrock top hat with an orange bow tie.
