Duet Letterpress: Party in a Box

When Julie of Duet Letterpress real­ized her husband’s 30th birth­day would fall at an inop­por­tune time for a gath­er­ing, she came up with an inge­nious solu­tion — a vir­tual birth­day party. To pull off the sur­prise, she secretly mailed these Party in a Box invi­ta­tions to their friends and fam­ily, which each included printed pieces, bal­loons and hand­made con­fetti. Then each recip­i­ent was asked to snap a photo of them­selves using the pack­age con­tents and send to the guest of honor on his birth­day — such a great idea and fun sur­prise. Check out the rest of the details right here.

Editor’s note: Julie has noted that this project was inspired both by a shower in a box she received for her own baby shower, as well as Amanda Jane Jones’s recent Party in Box project.

    This looks like it was inspired by my wife’s design for my 30th birth­day party in a box from october.

    Just found this via Pinterest and love this idea! My brother and I are throw­ing my mom a sur­prise 60th birth­day party this year and I would love to send out these invites to peo­ple who are to far away. Where did you find these invites, I couldn’t find a link to where they were.

    Thanks for your help!
