On Saturday Jamie and I woke up early to go to the third anual Los Angeles Printers Fair in Carson, CA. We brought home a whole bag-full worth of goodies, which we’ll be sure to share with you soon. The rest of the day was spent preparing for my 23rd birthday party, and it was truly a success!
Jamie arranged a beautiful letterpress display on our table. About twenty minutes before the party started, I realized the food could use some name cards, so I quickly whipped up some letterpress-style designs and printed them out.
I’ve never tasted a better chocolate birthday cake; Jamie is an amazing baker! Earlier in the day Jamie and I designed and set up a print that our guests were able to customize with their name. It took a while to set up, but it worked so well at the party and everyone really enjoyed getting to set their own type.
The invitation was also set by hand, and we even got to use two of the wood blocks Jamie got for her birthday! They turned out so cool. Afterwards we all played a game of balderdash. It was a birthday party to remember.
