My People: a proposal invitation template
The baby's memory book, open at the "My people" page: a family tree with one leaf left empty for the godparent. Tap the leaf and their name writes itself in.
The design
Every baby book has a page called My people. This invitation is that page, in a cloth-bound book: a printed family tree drawn in fine line, the parents' names handwritten on two leaves, the baby's photo held in paper photo corners at the root, and one leaf at the top left empty, printed with the role you are asking for. The question is the page's caption. A tap on the empty leaf and their name writes itself in, in pen, the leaf takes its colour and your note for them is tucked into the page beside it. Turn the page and the book carries on in its own voice: your letter on ruled lines, why it had to be them, what a godparent does as a checklist they can tick in pencil, the christening as a fill-in-the-blanks entry, a few photographs in corners, a line that makes no as easy to say as yes, and your signature. They answer with one of two identical stickers. Yes presses a leaf with their name onto the page and a few leaves drift from the tree; no presses a forget-me-not, for keeps: they are one of the baby's people either way.
Colours and type
My People comes in 3 colourways: Sage book cloth & cream pages, Blush linen & rose ink and Denim cloth & sky wash, with 2 type pairings: Keepsake & pen and Storybook & ink. The colours and type change in the editor at any time; the layout stays its own.
Who it suits
Made for godparent, in the Interactive style.
What is included
An invitation website with a page made for the one person you are asking, with your own note on why them and a reply they send with one tap. You write your own words and add your photos in the live editor, send every guest a personal link by email or any messaging app, and follow the replies as they come in. Free for up to 10 people, with the full design.
