How do you make a corporate holiday invitation anything but corporate?

Aren't corporate holiday party invitations difficult? They have to be festive but not too silly or frivolous, can't bring any religious holiday icons or colors into it, and you're left with...a snowflake...and some blue.

Happily, my clients over at St. E Anderson in Cincinnati, OH and I were able to come up with something that looks classy, festive and definitely not blue and snowflake. I used the inkless letterpress technique where the paper is essentially debossed with the snowflake pattern and we used a fresh willow green for the text. I think it turned out really nicely!
