Bringing back birthday invitations
Y'know what I miss from when I was little? Getting those neat little full-colour birthday invitations from school-friends, complete with illustrated balloons, cakes, and the promise of a good time at the local ball-pit or park. You'd sit down with your Mum, fill in the RSVP section at the bottom of the invitation, tear it off, and would enthusiastically run across the playground the next day, RSVP gripped tightly in hand, and deliver it to the party boy or girl. It was exciting stuff, and had a nice intimacy about it that I didn't really appreciate when I was little.
Nowadays all the invitations I receive are standard-issue white and blue, courtesy of the Facebook events invitation screen. It's all a little bit dull (except for Gareth and Emily's wedding invitations, which were full of heritage and character). I don't think that Facebook will be changing their events pages to make them more personable anyytime soon, so, it's time to bring back real-life, physical, full-colour invitations!
Here's a voucher you can use at VistaPrint, which'll give you 10 free birthday invitations when you buy a bunch from them. Use the code 'BlogInvite10', and help bring back schoolyard intimacy! Actually, that sounds a bit wrong, but you know what I mean!
