Your 16th birthday invitations with a Paris theme will give your guests a little foretaste of the party. Therefore, the theme needs to be clearly communicated right from the start. You could opt for a delicate design with fancy fonts and classic Parisian symbols like the Eiffel Tower, or you could go for a vintage postcard look from the streets of Montmartre. Whatever your personal touch, expressing it in the invitation design will instantly create a strong connection to Paris. You can convey this first impression in different ways. Do you opt for a fancy and eye-catching design or do you prefer a simple and classy one?
When writing the text for your invitations, it's important to strike a balance between whimsical and formal. Think French blase charm mixed with the city life of Paris. You could include information such as a detailed schedule or dress code (should guests dress in Parisian chic?) and make sure to include any other information guests need to know. It's about creating interest as well as providing information that is needed.
For your color scheme, you can use soft pastel tones reminiscent of a Parisian afternoon or a beautiful view at night with lots of city lights. If you maintain a smooth visual flow, your invitation suite will come together perfectly.
Of course, Vogue and Hermeès will make their mark, and that shows off one of Paris' main traits: fashion. You could pay tribute to it on your Sweet 16 invitations! A silhouette of a stylish teenage girl in an elegant dress with roses standing on one of the bustling bridges along the Seine could work. The grandeur of the Eiffel Tower in the background gives the feeling that the event is taking place in Paris.
The language can also be very beautiful. French, which is as cool and stylish as the city it represents, could be a fun theme for the invitation. Carefully but intriguingly worded, French phrases that show excitement, along with a bonjour or an R.S.V.P., give an official insight into Parisian history. This is where you can let your imagination run wild to lead readers to the party.
Heck, why not add your own personality too? The invitation could include elements that turn it from a simple piece of stationery into an invitation that shines a spotlight on the birthday girl - let guests look forward to an expression of her unique personality.
Such a special event can be made even more beautiful and grand with this unique theme. Set the scene and give a little taste of the magical, happy celebration that is about to begin. You only turn sixteen once, so make the most of the occasion with these charming invitations.
