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.

The design says, My best wishes for your birthday, in fun vintage style fonts. There's an illustration of a straight pin in one corner that makes it look like it's being pinned to a cork board. The design looks aged and worn giving it a delightful antique retro look.

About these postcards:

Dimensions: 4.25"l x 5.6"w
Printed on 110 lb, 12.5 point thick, semi-gloss paper
Postage rate: $0.34 (at the time of this posting)

Sometimes the old ways are just better.

Text messages and social media posts are nice but if you really want to create an impact, and show you care, a postcard makes a terrific impression. And it's something they can keep and treasure always.

There's less waste too. No need for envelopes that just get tossed into the landfill.

Grab a bunch of these to keep on hand so you'll be ready for everyone's birthday this year.
