Animal Crackers: The Invitation
For my daughter's second birthday, I wasn't sure what to do. Her interests were quite unusual for a two-year old. Musicals. Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music were her favorite movies, with Oklahoma running a close third. We were routinely singing "My Favorite Things" and "Doe a Deer" at bedtime. She watched the carousel scene in Mary Poppins over and over and loved listening to a song we had on CD about carousels. Reciting ABC's and 123's were a daily practice, she was taken with the moon and adored cooking with us at night, so we chose to celebrate the eclectic mix of all her favorite things she loved and was doing at the age of two.
Inspired visually by a vintage set of ABC's flash cards Avery and her father played with every day and a song I couldn't get out of my head "Animal Crackers in my soup..." from an old Shirley Temple movie, I came up with a vintage look. Using eclectic imagery and whimsical colors these vintage invitations, paired with red-orange polka-dotted envelopes from Envelopemall.com, were fun and unusual.
