Not blue, not brown.

I have some new Bar/Bat Mitzvah invitation designs in the works for later on this year and have been really thinking about different color combinations for the boys.  I was thinking back to all the Bar Mitzvah invitations I have done recently and with a few exceptions, they all seem to have navy or brown in them, including my own son's invitation.  So I can't help thinking, what can we do to spice that up a little and get more creative.  Here are a few that I have done that do not have navy or brown.

Red, black and gold

Gray and silver

Black and gold

Here are a few more color combinations I am working on for the new designs.  Do you think they work for a boy?

This one is teal and gray.

This one is dark red and orange.

How else would you think outside the box for colors for a boy?

Blue is for girls too!

We are seeing a lot of blue used in girls Bat Mitzvah invitations.  There are plenty of interesting colors that can can be combined with blue.  One of the most popular is blue and brown, like these from Robin Beth.  

And multiple color combinations is always a fabulous look, like these save the dates from Evy Jacob.

Have fun  and get creative with blue for girls.

Pink is the new Pink

I design a lot of Bat Mitzvah invitations and while there are some that go for some non-traditional color combinations, a large number of the designs I create are PINK!  Face it, girly girls and their girly moms love pink.  But as you can see here, there are many ways of interpreting pink.  So if your girly girl wants pink, you can say, "Pink is the new Pink!"
