My youngest sister is about ready to leave the nest and head off to college. Hearing her stories about getting prepared for one last fling before leaving home reminds me of when, not too long ago, we planned a big party to celebrate her sweet sixteen. I can honestly confess that at the time finding the perfect invitation for her was just shy of a nightmare. You see, my sister is not the type of girl to enjoy pink and frilly. She is stylish and chic, always showing off the latest trends, and very mature for her age. With so many cutesy styles in the typical designs, we found ourselves searching through “ladies night out” invitations and hoping for one that didn’t show any of the girls with cocktails in hand.
I stumbled upon some of our newest designs from Bonnie Marcus, and wish that we could have had these options a few years ago! For the girl who is young and modern, with a head on her shoulders and a brilliantly developing mind of her own, these sweet sixteen invitations take out the traditional sweet and replace it with stylish sophistication. No need for balloons, flowers, and butterflies! They are youthful and trendy without going overboard on the girlish themes. A perfect alternative to the recent pink princess phenomenon.
BSVI - "Sweet Sixteen"
This invitation has a small border of hot pink to accent the black and ecru design. It shows the number sixteen with a young woman leaning stylishly against the numbers. It is printed on 100# premium ecru cardstock, and is perfect for an event with a hint of formality.
B-SICIP - "Sixteen in the City"
A night out on the town is just what the girls want. Sixteen is not too young to enjoy a little culture, and this invitation is the perfect choice for the social sixteen-year-old with an eye for the exquisite.
