Prepare a bespoke invitation for my wife’s 40th birthday party

My wife is going to be 40 in May and we are going to throw a party at White City House in London. There are going to be about 120 of her nearest and dearest in attendance at the party and we want to create an invite that is bespoke to her.

I turned 40 a few years ago and my wife did something similar for me. We ended up with a cartoon for the invite showing me, my interests and obsessions which went down really well. I would therefore like to do something similar (but not the same) which is equally memorable and impactful.

I dont have a specific design in mind and am looking for ideas and inspirations. In terms of my wife, she grew up in Billericay in Essex, she’s a lawyer with Diageo the drinks company, we have two children (6 and 2 years old) and we live in Queen’s Park in London. My wife is beautiful (obv!) with long dark curly hair and i can provide a picture of her and the kids to the winner if that is relevant to the winning design. She also has tonnes of interests from art, to sport, to her charitable interests (she was a trustee of the Camden Society for many years) to friendships and so there is plenty of material (probably almost too much for a single invite).

I suspect we will send out the invite by social media and email rather than post if that helps to envisage how it is to be received.
