A darling custom birthday party invitation featuring one of Beatrix Potter's finest rabbits. Little girls just love to be fancy and dress up for a fancy tea party, hence invitations just as elegant and charming as the planned birthday party. This would also be a lovely invitation for a first birthday party (while Mum still gets to choose a lovely and classy party theme before the commercialised cartoon characters hold sway).

Description: A proper little girl rabbit with a pink ribbon tied around her neck in a pretty bow daintily sips her tea from a china teacup. On the tile floor in front of her is the tea set, including teapot, sugar bowl, sugar tongs, milk pitcher and more teacups, tea spoons resting on the saucers. Perhaps there is to be a lovely tea party! Border pattern reminiscent of English chintz which is repeated on the reverse side.
