Three Is a Party SVG

About this design

Two’s company and three is a party, at least when it is a birthday. This 3rd birthday shirt puts a tall, condensed 3 at the top, varsity red with a white ring and a gold ring around it. Underneath, a royal blue pennant flies from a navy pole, the kind of felt flag waved in the stands. A gold band runs down the flag next to the pole, and the words Is a Party stretch along the flag in white capitals.

The design reads top to bottom, number first and then the punch line, so it works well on the front of a shirt where the eye travels down. The pennant also gives it a sporty, cheering feel without any team name.

Pieces and weeding

Count on 16 pieces and 7 cut-outs in the solid file. The number, the pennant and the pole come apart, so use transfer tape for adhesive vinyl or keep iron-on on its carrier sheet. Weed the letters on the flag first; they are the smallest parts. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide.

What is on each layer

• Base and lines: deep navy, used for the pole and the outline around every shape
• Varsity red: crimson, the 3
• Varsity gold: warm mustard gold, the outer ring on the 3 and the band beside the pole
• Royal blue: bright cobalt, the pennant
• White: crisp white, the inner ring on the 3 and the words Is a Party

Widths to use

The words on the pennant need at least 5 inches. If you want tiny pennant stickers for party cups or straws, print the color file and use Print Then Cut.

Iron-on steps

1. Mirror every color, then cut the iron-on vinyl with its shiny side facing down.
2. Press the navy base, including the pole.
3. Add the gold ring and the blue pennant.
4. Place the white ring, then the red 3.
5. Add the gold band on the flag and the white lettering last.
6. Press each layer following the vinyl maker’s directions.

A one-color solid cut makes a quick shirt with the number and flag clearly outlined.

Throwing a three-year-old’s party

A pennant is an easy theme to carry around a party. Hang a string of plain paper pennants over the table, cut the 3 large for the door and print the full design on the invitations. If there are older siblings, give them a shirt in the same colors with their own age from this set. Our guide to changing SVG colors shows how to make the flag match the paper plates.
