About this design

What makes it
feel like the table.

  • Dusty-rose title
  • Lavender details
  • Antique-gold fan
  • Coral flower
  • Sage teacup
  • Warm ivory paper

The wording floats in open ivory across the upper half of the card. Below it, a pink teacup and a mint-green teacup, both filled with tea, rest on saucers at either side, and a three-tier stand with a gold pole and pedestal rises between them: a small lavender-iced cake on top, two pink macarons in the middle and three golden scones on the lowest plate. Sprays of coral blossoms, white daisies and lilac bellflowers reach in from the top-left and bottom-right, and an outlined gold fan ornament sits in each of the four corners.

It is painted in soft vintage watercolor on warm ivory paper with a faint aged texture, and fine antique-gold lines trace the cup rims, the stand and the corner fans. The colors are powdery rather than bright — dusty rose, lavender, coral and mint against cream — and plenty of paper is left bare around every cup and flower, so the card feels light and unhurried.

“Afternoon Tea” is the title, set in a slender, high-contrast dusty-rose serif in capitals, with a larger letter opening each word. Just above it, “You're invited to tea” runs in small, widely spaced lavender capitals, and the same lavender lettering lists the details on separate lines below: the date, “3:00 PM”, “The Lavender Room” and the RSVP date.

Good to know

About this template.

Will my invitation look exactly like this one?

It will follow this design's direction: pink and mint teacups, a three-tier gold stand of cake, macarons and scones, coral and lilac flower sprays and gold corner fans on ivory watercolor. Because Inviti generates each invitation with AI from your details, the arrangement and lettering can differ from this sample.

Can I use it for a bridal or baby shower tea?

Yes. Change the title to “Bridal Shower Tea” or “Baby Shower Tea” and add the guest of honor's name. The teacups, pastries and flowers suit either, and nothing in the artwork points to a single occasion.

Does it work for a tea at home?

Yes. Replace “The Lavender Room” with your address or a line like “Tea in the garden”. No room or building is drawn on the card, so it fits a dining room, a backyard or a hotel lounge equally well.

Can I print it?

Yes. The invitation is designed at 5×7 inches, and the app's print preparation can lay out copies on A4 or US Letter with crop marks. For the sharpest print, generate at full resolution rather than the introductory 1K size.

What matching pieces are there?

With Pro you can request matching pieces such as a tea menu, a welcome sign, food labels, water bottle labels, letter banner flags, a guest book sign, a “share a sweet memory” sign for notes to the host and “with love and tea” thank-you tags. Each piece is a separate generation; the full sample set is shown below.
