Snow White Storybook: a birthday invitation template
The golden storybook from the start of Disney's Snow White: a gilt leather cover swings open on "Once upon a time", and every part of the party is a page of the same illuminated book.
The design
Opens like the 1937 film: a red leather book tooled in gold, "Clara and the Seven Dwarfs", swings open to page one. A gilt initial O begins "Once upon a time there lived a lovely little princess named…", the child's name follows in a big gothic book hand, the age is the chapter number (Chapter V), and her photo is a painted miniature with Snow White kneeling at its foot, a bluebird on her finger. Every section after it is another page of the same book, with the same parts: a gilt initial, red rubrics, notes in the margin, a folio number. The countdown is a sentence ("and so the kingdom waited"), the program is the order of the day with the Seven Dwarfs' mine cart rolling in, the questions are the ones the Dwarfs asked (Grumpy is not impressed), the photos are numbered plates, the reply is written into the book, and it ends on "happily ever after" with Chapter VI promised for next year.
Colours and type
Snow White Storybook comes in 3 colourways: Illuminated vellum, Snow White's gown and The Dwarfs' forest, with 2 type pairings: Grenze Gotisch & EB Garamond and Texturina & Cardo. The colours and type change in the editor at any time; the layout stays its own.
Who it suits
Made for kids, in the Themed style.
What is included
An invitation website with the party's details and place, your photos, a song if you want one, and the RSVP with the number of adults and children coming. 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 20 guests, with the full design.
