La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre Invitations
La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, also known as Our Lady of Charity, is the patroness of Cuba. Her story began around 1608, when two brothers, Rodrigo and Juan de Hoyos, along with their slave, Juan Moreno, set out to the Bay of Nipe for salt. Salt was needed for the preservation of the meat at the Barajagua slaughter house, which supplied the inhabitants and workers of Santiago del Prado, now known as El Cobre. While out in the bay, a terrible storm arose, rocking their tiny boat violently with its waves. The three men prayed desperately to the Virgin Mary for her protection and deliverance. The skies suddenly cleared as if in response, and the great storm was gone. In the distance, the men saw a strange object floating in the water. They rowed towards it as the now gentle waves began to bring it closer. At first they mistook it for a bird, but it was, in actuality, a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus and a golden cross in her hand. The statue was fastened to a board with an inscription saying, "Yo Soy la Virgen de la Caridad" or "I am the Virgin of Charity." The statue was dressed in real cloth, had real hair and the skin tone of a multi-ethnic woman. Much to their surprise, the statue had remained completely dry while afloat in the water.

I customised and ordered 30 of these cards for my Mum, to be used as guest place cards on the birthday table at our local restaurant venue.
The design caught my eye while I was perusing all the samples, and thought it was a great novel idea for my steam train enthusiast Dad.
I chose the larger postcard sized one, as the font would be large for older eyes, and customised it keeping the Rail Ticket theme on the front, with venue address/date/time of party, and on the back I added another steam train and various 80 speed limit/rail signages. The trick is not to overdo it or it looks too busy. I also added at one end of the front side, a word of thanks from the birthday boy.
Champagne Shimmer was chosen for the finish and it suited the card so well, as it gave an glimmer of elegance and richness, loved it.
During the party, I had guests come up to me and say how much they liked this quirky card.
My Mum was ecstatic (she is hard to please at the best of times) and my Dad liked them very much also.
Upon leaving the party venue, I noticed that not one single card was left behind at our guest table.....so to me it spoke volumes, that the guests appreciated the cards enough to want to take them home as mementos.
I couldn't have wished for a better place card for Dad's 80th birthday party. Thanks Zazzle! Very happy with the finished product. Design turned out well, front and back.
I kept with original background and border colouring, which went extremely well with my choice of Champagne Shimmer for the finish. I kept to minimal colour pictures added on the back, they printed up very well. All crisp and clean. The cards looked a million dollars!
