Collection Challenge #169 - Vintage Party Invites, Part II

There was one item I did not share yesterday in my scrapbook post..darling vintage party invitations.  I did a post on my collection of them with post #131, and now with my new found invites, am doing part II and adding to this collection.

I found a pair of invites for a shower.

My favorite invites are the ones for birthday parties. If you went to this party you would have to turn back the hands of time to 1939!

Once again, the graphic just put me over the top with their cuteness.

Party after party!

This was a good invitation...

as I love the party description on the back. Outdoor weenie roast and dance. Come in sports clothes.  That is a party I would have liked to have gone to.

Invitations with a boy theme,Indians or trains.

Clowns!  Two of the invites were for the same little boy for two consecutive years.  Perhaps there were left over invites from the first party and they were recycled for party number II? Party invites with children in party hats and their party clothes.

Two of the same invites. I opened one up to show the inside information. I think I doubled the number of invitations in my collection with this scrapbook find!

If you have an idea for a future collection challenge, leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of ____."  I will see what I can do.

I love cards featuring an actual artist's work. Many of today's cards are just photos. I agree that it is sad for some's cherished memories to leave a family but this way all that love flourishes again in another home and the memories live on. Think how tragic it would be to have something like that tossed away or burned.

These are all great, thanks for showing them off! I love the card of the letter carrier cat and the one of the teens with the record player and bottles of pop!

I agree, the weenie roast party sounded great, but I wondered why that particular invitation was used for a casual event - the design showed 19th C people dressed in formal clothes!

I have found several packages of old baby shower invites, but never birthday party ones. My dilemma is whether or not to open them! I would love to use them someday for Hanna (hint, hint if she is reading this comment).

Very cute! Why did "cute" go out of style? And I don't think you'd have to advise guests to wear sports clothes today!

[Erica]

They couldn't be sweeter!
OK, so I see that you have "given us all permission" to remove the cards and scraps from these books. LOL There is a beautiful one that I've had my eye on (at my local antique store) but I couldn't decide if it would be a sin to remove everything...which is what I would want to do. I just might have to see if it's still there!
Thanks! Erica :)

Those are so cute. Remember when we used to get dressed up to go to a birthday party as kids?

Oh my goodness. Those invitations are absolutely precious. My favorite is the 1939 invite, but Josie would love the pow wow invite. It reminds me of the wigwam motel that we stayed in on our Route 66 trip. What a fun collection!

These are so cute! Do you have a cocktail party one? I found a few, I'd be glad to send one your way!

[Annette]

The graphics are so cute!! That was when kids were kids, and not trying to adults. I love any with a kitten!

[Doreen]

Love these vintage party invitations! My fave are the ones with the kids and party hats and the bunnies on the bicycle. Of course the invitation to the weenie roast and dance is hilarious! I would want to go to that one too.
Cute collection!

Oh so cute! I love the little kitten one. Another adorable collection!
