When my mom turned 60, I knew I wanted to design something vibrant—something that reflected her joy and personality. That’s how the theme for this project came about: a colorful 60th birthday invitation. We even coined the hashtag #60ColorfelYears, a fun twist on her name, Fely.
From the very beginning, I aimed to design an invitation that felt heartfelt, bold, and joyful. It wasn’t just about sharing the details of the event—it was about making people feel excited to be part of it.
Designing a Bright and Cheerful Invitation
To create a truly memorable colorful 60th birthday invitation, I chose a lively handwritten-style font combined with rainbow splashes that dance across the layout. This kept the tone playful, while still letting the details shine through. Every element was meant to evoke happiness—from the bold hues to the uplifting copy that encouraged guests to come in their most colorful or brightest outfit.
To complement the print invite, I also designed a digital event cover. It echoed the same aesthetic but was optimized for online sharing, especially on social media platforms where the celebration continued before the event even started.
Key Design Highlights for this Milestone Celebration
- A custom event cover designed for social media and digital announcements
- A bright, colorful 60th birthday invitation layout featuring rainbow splashes and playful typography
- A clear, visually engaging custom map for easier navigation to the venue
Adding a Custom Map with Personality
Because many of the guests were unfamiliar with the venue, I designed a custom map that matched the event’s theme. Using clear visual markers, bright color blocks, and labeled landmarks, the map made it easy for guests to navigate to Celebrity Sports Plaza in Quezon City.
Rather than relying on a generic map style, I created something both functional and fun—ensuring that even the most practical part of the invite still felt like part of the celebration. By incorporating the same color palette and visual language, the map became a seamless extension of the invitation suite.
