Football Matchday Album: a birthday invitation template
The invitation is the club's match-day programme and sticker album: the birthday child is the star player, his foil sticker goes into the centre circle, and his age is the number on his shirt.
The design
Opens on the programme cover, a mown pitch with its chalk lines drawing themselves in. A foil sticker packet slides on, tears open, and the child's own player sticker slaps into the centre circle; after a held beat the "Turns 8" plate lands and ticker tape flies. Every part of the party is a page of the same album: a scoreboard counting down to kick-off, the manager's notes from the hosts, a player profile with a career record, the fixture card against "Birthday United", the program as a team sheet on a pitch (tap the ball and it is passed shirt to shirt into the net at the cake), ground regulations for parents, the kit in the party colours (tap a shirt to turn it round to the name and number), photos as numbered stickers to collect, the gift list as the club shop with a packet you can rip open, questions answered by the ref, and the reply as squad registration, where the guest's own "Called up!" sticker rises into the last empty slot. It closes on the back cover: album complete, and "Next season: Gabo turns 9".
Colours and type
Football Matchday Album comes in 3 colourways: Home kit, pitch green & gold, Away kit, royal blue & red and Retro '78 programme, with 2 type pairings: Big Shoulders & Barlow and Anton & Archivo. The colours and type change in the editor at any time; the layout stays its own.
