2016 Tour Of The Gila VIP Reception Invitations

My hometown bike race, Tour Of The Gila, hosts its major sponsors and supporters in a shaded area near the start line of the downtown criterium annually. The attendees can enjoy a lavish spread of food inspired by the French and drink inspired by the Germans.

In 2015 (the year I started a weekly newspaper, built a house and got married), the race directors recruited me to organize this VIP reception. I enjoyed every minute of throwing this party but especially loved designing the invitations. In 2015, I used a retro invitation template, but in 2016, I ran with my own funky idea.

The photo was just the touch I needed for this throwback to a simpler but just as stylish era of road racing.

Since my sister got married during Tour of the Gila race week this year, I didn't organize the 2017 VIP Reception. Maybe the directors will invite me back next year!
