Under the Sea Birthday, Ocean Whispers Pattern Invitation

My invites arrived on time and beautiful quality. Definitely was worried for my first order but will definitely order from Dazzle in the future.

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!

Loves the fact that I could change the name on each invitation so that they are all personalised without me having to write on them. Colours and text are perfect
