Which Invite Do You Like Best?

max sutter's birthday party

MomLogic.com is teaming up with Trista and Ryan Sutter to throw their son Max his first b-day bash, and I was excited to be asked to help style the event! Even better, MomLogic is asking readers to help plan the party too – by voting on certain elements to select what will actually be used!

So for the first element of the party – the invitation – I designed 3 options that match the party’s “Candyland” theme. You can vote for which design you like best, and whichever design gets the most votes is the one that Trista & Ryan will send out. The 3 options are below (click to zoom), and you can vote here …we’d love to get your input!

Option A:

max sutter's birthday party

Option B:

max sutter's birthday party

Option C:

    So cute! I threw a Candyland party for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. It was so fun and easy to do! We held it at the Water Conservation Garden in Cuyamaca College and used their pathways for a real-life candy land game. I have some pics on my (not-so-updated) blog : http://iamleese.blogspot.com/2007/12/myas-candyland-birthday-result.html

    A) This is awesome. Congrats.
    B) Can’t decide. Too hard. 1 or 2 though. Let me pop over to the website and cast my confused vote.
    C) Again. Awesome. So excited for you.

    I really like..no love all three
    However I think option #3 is the bestest for a first bday. Its Cute! It fits with the theme! I just adore the lil gingerbread guy…oooo…scrumptious!!
    #THREE for me!

    How stinkin’ fun is this!!

  7. laughing808 July 14, 2008 at 3:10 pm

    option C

  8. Naomi July 14, 2008 at 3:22 pm

    I think 3 looks the most like an invitation. #1 is cute but looks like an ad.

  9. Heather C. July 14, 2008 at 3:31 pm

    I voted at MomLogic for Option A. So cute!

  10. maritessb July 14, 2008 at 4:46 pm

  11. Soulful Girl July 14, 2008 at 5:03 pm

    I love option B

  12. Ericka July 14, 2008 at 6:05 pm

    Love all of them, but #2 gets my vote!

  13. One Chic Mama July 14, 2008 at 6:06 pm

    I love Option B. These are so cute, I’m sure the party will be one to remember.

  14. Kim O. July 14, 2008 at 6:52 pm

    Way to go HWTM! I can’t decide between 1 or 2!!! They are way too cute:-)

  15. happyathome July 14, 2008 at 7:13 pm

    I think B has the focus on the birthday, as much as I love the candy tree. Great ideas!
    FYI, watch for my new blog design being intoduced the week, it is nicey nice!

  16. Hilary July 14, 2008 at 7:47 pm

    I love B, definitely the best!

  17. Brenda July 14, 2008 at 8:02 pm

    I like option C the best as it looks the most birthdayish – but I wish it has the day of the week (Saturday) above the date like the other 2 invitations.

  18. Mimi July 14, 2008 at 8:40 pm

    Option B!!!

  19. Michelle @ Everyday Celebrating July 15, 2008 at 12:45 am

    B! by FAR!

  20. Melissa July 15, 2008 at 6:24 am

    I love the simplicity and design of A! These are awesome. :)

  21. Katie July 15, 2008 at 6:29 am

    Love option B – I think it’s the font!

  22. kim July 15, 2008 at 6:45 am

    so adorable! i vote #1! i am helping with a candyland themed baby shower in a couple weeks…must be a hot – or rather, sweet – theme this year!! :)

  23. letrodectus July 15, 2008 at 7:32 am

    definitely option B :)

  24. Heather July 15, 2008 at 7:38 am

    I love them all, but option B gets my vote. I lve the subtle peppermintbackground!

  25. YuK July 15, 2008 at 9:21 am

    Option B it is!
    Option A has really cute tree design~ =)

  26. karen July 15, 2008 at 9:48 am

    I like # 1

  27. Reilly July 15, 2008 at 10:06 am

    Option A is adorable!

    How cute is the name Max!? They seem like a sweet family!

  28. kyle July 15, 2008 at 11:53 am

    I like A the whimsical feel is much more fun.

  29. kristine July 15, 2008 at 11:58 am

    Option B!!! LOVE IT!

  30. Elizabeth July 15, 2008 at 1:13 pm

    A, for sure. I like the pop against the white space!

  31. Beth July 15, 2008 at 1:15 pm

    Option A! Very Candyland-ish indeed!

  32. Aubrey July 15, 2008 at 9:51 pm

    I like A & B, but if I were to choose I would go with B, for sure. A is cute becasue it screams the candyland theme, but I think that B pops out at you and I like the straightforwardness of it and i fee like it’s easier to read.

  33. niki d. July 16, 2008 at 8:57 am

    i love the first one. and hey, can i just say that i am so glad that i found your site? i just absolutely LUV it!! great job!! :)

  34. jenn s. July 16, 2008 at 9:03 am

  35. Bell July 16, 2008 at 9:54 am

    I am so jealous. I have loved them as a couple for so long. Congratulations on getting to be part of this!

    I voted on the site but just have to say that I love A!

  36. bakingblonde July 16, 2008 at 11:26 am

    No contest: B is the only way to go!! The first one looks like a coupon I would get in the mail for a big store sale and the third is not catchy enough for me! LOVE B!

  37. Jo-Ann July 16, 2008 at 12:41 pm

    It took me a long time to choose, but I think I like B the best. Great work!

  38. Melissa July 17, 2008 at 7:12 am

    I love the look, It is so brite and fun
    I love B
    Great Job!

  39. Maria July 17, 2008 at 10:23 am

  43. Kerri Butler August 3, 2008 at 7:27 pm

    Love Option B- so eye grabbing!

  44. jody August 4, 2008 at 9:45 pm

    Option B for sure. It is easier to read and still very cute!

  45. Lauren August 14, 2008 at 8:10 am

    I’m in love with number 1. That candy tree is just so adorable and sets the mood for a festival of treats.

  46. Isabella July 23, 2009 at 10:25 pm

    I piCk C it is sooooooooooooooooo Cute like a Button!

  47. Valerie February 24, 2010 at 12:08 pm

    I’m very late looking at this. I’m planning a candy-themed party for my son’s first birthday and stumbled upon this blog entry. I know that you designed the 3 invitation options, but any chance there is a way to purchase Option A (or even B)??? I haven’t found any invites I’m in LOVE with until now!

  48. jenn s. March 3, 2010 at 9:25 pm

    Valerie –
    Yes, you can actually order Option A through me. I just emailed you with the details :)
