Polka Dot Invitations
The love affair for Polka Dots began, perhaps, a very long time ago in the early 1920s when our very own Miss America was photographed wearing a polka dot bathing suit. Soon after that Polka Dots were all the rage! Even the beloved Minnie Mouse was spotted wearing a red polka dot dress with her signature matching dotted bow. Throughout history, the Polka Dot has appeared on fabric, ribbon, party napkins and even in the swooning songs of Frank Sinatra, where you can sing the line from "Polka Dots and Moonbeams", capturing the height of the American Polka Dot obsession. One of our favorite quotes about the Polka Dot is this one from a Los Angeles Times 1940 edition where readers were assured that "you can sign your fashion life away on the polka-dotted line and you'll never regret it." We couldn't agree more. |
Tiny polka dots conjure up images of sharply dressed men, with their crisp navy shirts and pops of white dots, it's been said that if you are interested in making a great impression and willing to show you are creative, polka dots are a great option because they communicate a playful sense of humor and show that you are comfortable in being oneself.
