Make a Christmas morning card with baubles

A cheerful, artsy family invitation

What do your guests read first? On this card it is the red-orange title, then the big hand-lettered “Merry Christmas” in the centre. Around the letters a crowd of doodles fills the page: a tall orange bauble, a sage one with golden zigzags, a cream one with swirls, a round orange slice and branches in every direction. A Christmas breakfast invitation online does not have to be formal to be clear.

Everything your guests need follows below: the day, the time, the place and the menu. They answer with the RSVP button, open the route in their map app and can write a message in the online guestbook if you add one. If you share the card through WhatsApp, relatives usually answer within minutes.

Children enjoy the picture too, because there is so much to find in it. Ask them to spot the star or the orange slice while the adults check the time.

This design suits anyone who prefers a handmade look to a polished one, and it still prints well if you want to show it on a screen at the table.

You can also use the same card for a smaller circle, such as the grandparents and one or two friends. Because the text is written in a warm, plain voice, it still reads well when only five or six people are invited. When the date gets closer, you can send a reminder through the link so nobody forgets the morning, and you can adjust the hour if the plans shift slightly.
