19 Super Creative Invitations
Summertime is party time, from baby showers to weddings (even if virtually), and all good parties need a creative invitation. Your invite sets the tone for the type of event you're throwing, and is a great way to get guests in the mood to party well before the big day. While we know it can be tempting to go the digital route, especially for eco-friendly reasons, we can't resist a good old-fashioned paper invite. Here are 19 creative invites that caught our eye.
