@Brekk Good point. Fortunately this will never be presented this small but it is a little on the small/too detailed side. I'm going to upload a shot of the website and will bring up the size on "present."
Great work! Here's an advice though (if it apply) :
If you meant to make a reference to the "Cirque du Soleil", you did a mistake in your title unfortunately.
It should be "Cirque de Houston" since Houston is a name. They say "Cirque du Soleil" because Soleil can be quantified. The grammatical use of du/de is a bit hard to explain but I'm french (from Canada), so I can confirm it's a mistake :)
Also, in french, unlike english, we do not use a capital letter for every word in a title. Therefore, it should be "Cirque de Houston" and not "Cirque De Houston".
Unfortunately, we can't go back. I guess we should have consulted with someone first. We were playing off Cirque du Soleil. Thanks for the tips! At least we can go forward with "Cirque du Houston" with the proper case.
@Hubert Yeah unfortunately I was made aware of this after we had already printed 1,000+ invitations. We couldn't go back and change it. We hoped there wouldn't be a lot of french educated people at this event. ;)

This is the finalized theme design. Larger version attached.

The background and 'cirque' treatment are fantastic.
My only dislike is the stroked 'present' text, it's a little hard to read.

Agree with Brekk on the stroked 'present', otherwise it's gorgeous!

Thank you all for the great comments! @Brekk and @Sydney, you were both right. It works better now that I have corrected the "present" issue.
I still say Dribbble needs an @ reply notification feature, if they choose to be notified via preferences.

Just my 2 cents. Hope this help :)

Very beautiful, but is it really called Cirque DU Houston? It should be Cirque DE Houston, as with DU it means “Circus of the Houston”.
