Incorporate your picture into the invitation, as the occasion is all about you, or stick with invites that focus on the number 60. Does this Spark an idea?
Photo Invitation
Personalized photo invitations are good choices. Not everyone remembers what you looked like when you were born; others who haven't seen you since you were born (or younger) have no idea what you look like now. Choose an invitation design to that takes two photos, one when you were born and a current photo. The baby photo will have the year you were born printed underneath, while the recent photo has the current year. Everyone will see how much you have changed over the years. Zazzle.com offers this style of invitation, the price is $14 for 10 invitations. The back of the invitation offers not only details for the party but some humor as well.
