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.

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.

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.

Vintage Christmas postcards

Vintage Christmas postcards
by Kikiway

Long ago, postcards were the popular way of staying in touch and sending holiday greetings. I'm all for bringing back that tradition. Text messages and emails just don't seem like enough and writing out cards sometimes feels like too much. A quick hello on a postcard doesn't take much time or money and, I think, it really shows that you care.

I recently came across this gorgeous vintage Christmas postcards collection created by shopkeeper Kikiway at Zazzle.

The unique designs come from real antique postcard artwork. You'll find a wonderful selection of cute, traditional and funny cards that are sure to delight your chosen recipients.
