80th birthday gift: the family party, before and after, on postcards

Q: How do I make invitations for an 80th birthday?

Use A6 postcards with a photo of them when they were young on the front and the details on the back. They come in packs of ten, shipping included.

Q: What can we do with the family photo taken at the party?

Turn it into keepsake cards: a new pack of ten postcards to send to everyone, and above all to those who could not come.

An 80th birthday often brings the whole family together. Invitations with a photo of them when they were young, the frame given on the day, and keepsake cards sent afterwards. Postcards $26.00 for ten, 30×40 cm frame $75.00, shipping included.

The short answerFor an 80th birthday, the photo does three jobs: on the invitations ($26.00 for ten, $2.60 a card), on the 30×40 cm frame handed over at the party ($75.00), then on keepsake cards of the family photo, sent to those who could not come. The frame and twenty cards: $21.16 each between six. Shipping included.

Before: the invitations

A family gathering for an 80th takes a while to organise, especially when cousins are travelling from far away. The pack of ten A6 postcards, $26.00, makes invitations people keep: their wedding photo or a picture of them at twenty on the front, the date and place handwritten on the back.

Thirty invitationsThree packs of ten cards come to $78.00, which is $2.60 per invitation. Shipping included.

On the day: the gift

During the party, the children and grandchildren hand over a joint present. The 30×40 cm frame, $75.00, with a photo that has come down through the years, wins everyone over. To mark the age, the big-number template (« Gros chiffre » in the studio) puts their photo inside the zero of a large “80”, with the 8 typed in by you. For a photo from the sixties — born in 1946, they turned twenty in 1966 — the Polaroid template suits it well too.

Think about the wall it will hang on: at their home, or in their room at a care home. The 30×40 cm stays light and reads from across the room. For an old photo, check it is sharp enough.

After: the keepsake cards

At the party, take the family photo with everyone in it, every generation together. The next day, upload it to the studio on a new pack of cards: everyone who was there gets one, and so do those who could not come, with a note. There is every chance it ends up on the fridge.

The mathsThe 30×40 cm frame and two packs of cards come to $127.00: $21.16 each if six siblings and cousins split it. Shipping included.
