Nathan Lewis, Design Intern - Fall 2008, Art Institute of Charlotte
This year’s intern, Nathan Lewis from the Art Institute of Charlotte, created a Las Vegas inspired invite to convey this year’s “Casino Night” theme. The invite tells the story of how Santa loses everything “including his sleigh” by going all in at the holiday party.
The Casino Night Party takes place tonight at Village Tavern in South Park. Get ready for a little healthy competition and a night that is sure to be memorable.

Laura Stokes, Design Intern - Fall 2007, UNC-Charlotte
To switch things up a little for 2007, the planning committee decided to treat the Addison Whitney team to a night of sailing on Lake Norman. To capture the essence of the party, Laura illustrated a detailed holiday invite which featured a partridge sailing away on a moonlit cruise.

Nick Irwin, Design Intern - Fall 2005, UNC-Charlotte
In 2005, the Addison Whitney gang enjoyed a relaxing evening by a crackling fire at “The Cabin.” The invite this year highlighted the log cabin theme with an illustration of Rudolph landing on the roof of the cabin with the AW crew inside.
The Design Intern's Holiday Tradition
......................................................................................................................................................................
Each year the fall semester design intern is given the opportunity to design a holiday invitation for the Addison Whitney Holiday Party. The intern works directly with the planning committee, who is considered to be the “client,” to create an invite that is relevant to the party’s theme.
Invite designs from years past include a holiday partridge sailing on a boat (2007 Holiday Cruise) and a jolly reindeer perched upon a snow-covered cabin (2005 Cozy Cabin Holiday Party). This week we will be showcasing invitations from the past 5 years for your enjoyment.
