I've done several invitations over the last few years, and an invitation order usually involves at least a few dozen invitations, if not over 100! Imagine my surprise when a friend asked me for just one invitation!
She has a friend whose husband planned a Vegas getaway for her 40th birthday! And not just for him and her, but for 3 other couples! And she had no idea! What an amazing gift, right? So my friend and the other 2 couples decided to make the weekend extra special and plan a special dinner, a spa afternoon, and a show.
Since the husband and friends planned the whole weekend, they didn't need invitations, but the birthday girl did, so that's what I got to make! A reverse invitation. And what better colors to use for a Vegas getaway than gold and black?

I stamped the band holding it all together with some gold embossing to give it a bit more shine.
I made the invitation a tri-fold invitation with two pockets so the show tickets and a birthday message could be tucked into the pockets.

I am told the birthday girl was thoroughly surprised and the weekend was amazing. And I am super jealous.
