One of our favorite projects thus far has been these "sweet" Bat Mitzvah invitations.  It's not every day that you get to design for a 13 year old, but when you do, you can use fun colors, graphic motifs, and bold fonts.

Focusing on simplistic and bold design, the Bat Mitzvah invitation package challenges the notion of traditional invitation packaging.  The outside "envelope" unfolds, revealing two invitations; then flips over and shows the RSVP information.

The back of the "envelope" is also branded, showing the candy motif  as well as the lollipop "i" in Caroline's name.  The "envelope" opens to show the main ceremony invite.

The guest then fills out the RSVP information, refolds the "envelope," places a sticker on the back, fills in their address, and sends it back in the mail.

The bold typeface of the date became a reoccurring motif in the invitation package.

The bold color palette and simple typefaces keep a fun, consistent, graphic presentation all the way to thank you notes.

The candy and sweets icon motif, the lollipop "i," and the fun colors all reinforce the Bat Mitzvah's theme, "Sweet Caroline."  This was one of our favorite projects to date, and we cannot wait to design more.
