Last Sunday we invited a group of friends for a buffet lunch in our garden to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. There were thirty five of us and had the weather been like the weekend before, when it was our actual anniversary, we would have been bathed in sunshine under blue skies for the whole afternoon. However, we put up a couple of gazebos, as rain was forecast on Sunday, but they don't protect you when the rain is falling horizontally! We managed to eat our lunch outside in the short respite we had from the rain, but then we all dashed inside again when the heavens opened. I think everyone still enjoyed themselves and it was lovely to celebrate with our friends. Next weekend we are continuing the celebrations with a family meal in a lovely thatched pub, so no problems if it rains!
Back to my card.... this is the invitation I made for our friends. A simple design which was easy to batch make.
I made the cards in cream and gold. I used a Creative Expressions 'Swirling Heart' embossing folder with cream card and layered it on a gold mat. The text was computer generated.
The weather never plays ball does it. I am glad the enjoyed the occasion anyway. Love your simple and stylish invitation xx
