Long read & rant:
Y'all, AI invites and flyers got me stressed out... I love AI, don't get me wrong - I use it daily and I think it can be such a useful tool when used correctly.
But it shouldn't replace creativity and individual thought. I'm working on party planning for a client and just scrolling through invites on Etsy to get ideas for color schemes, vibes, what works well together, etc before I create a template in Canva...... and this is what stands out to me... That's a middle finger foam hand. You can't convince me otherwise! FOR A FIRST BIRTHDAY! π€¦πΌββοΈπ€¦πΌββοΈπ€¦πΌββοΈ People literally just give AI a prompt and then post it to *sell* to others. Zero hard work involved. And that's a shame!
I've been posting a lot of party themes on TikTok (go check it out π) and in doing so, I've realized that a lot of the themes I want to showcase, didn't have invitations or only had obviously AI generated invites. So I decided to create invitations in Canva and post them on Etsy myself. Do I use AI sometimes to help generate a graphic that I can't quite get right myself? Yes, absolutely but each invite takes me *hours* to tweak and perfect. My goal is to NOT look like every other invitation that only utilizes AI.... bc that stresses ya girl out so bad!! So if you are working on party planning and can't find an invite bc of all of the AI mess out there, reach out and let me help you!! Please. I'm begging you! Not for me, but for your party's sake!! π
π± We JUST started to post invites last week so it's not much yet, but it will be in time!!
