My Best Friend's Baby Shower

Palm Papers Baby Icons Party Invitations This weekend, I threw my second baby shower of the month for my best friend, Carrie, who is welcoming baby Parker in December. You might remember my Minted party decor submission a few weeks ago, that was inspired by these invites, and I finally snapped some photos to share the actual invitations. (I am sure the suspense has been killing you!)

We didn't have a theme, but I wanted it to be tied into her nursery, which will have olives and greys. And of course, I couldn't just do regular invitations - I had to add a little something (or several somethings) to make them special. I used olive envelopes, striped liners and tied each one with twine and a tag suggesting guests bring a book for Parker's library.

At the shower, there were more paper goodies: a banner, food/drink signs and little book plates for all the books that people brought.

It was one dreary weekend in Texas, but we had a fun time and I wrapped up my baby shower hosting duties for the year. Now we just get to wait patiently for the arrival of all the babies! I am so excited!

Kristen at Paper Crave is featuring these sweet gender announcements on her blog today. gender announcements

I am so excited to share this cute idea that I did for a former coworker who is due any day now (it took me awhile to get some photos taken obviously!) I love when clients have fun ideas and I get to help execute them. I was honored to be one of the first to know their sweet little secret and anyways, I share a little more about how Courtney pulled it off here!

Spotted: Minted & Camille Styles

When I see a party or shower inspired by my invitation design it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, especially one as beautiful as this one. Minted featured a baby shower thrown by stylist and blogger Camille Styles, and I was so excited to see my Vintage Carriage baby shower invitation in the mix. The beautiful photos (by She-n-He Photography) speak for themselves, so I'll stop typing now. Enjoy! baby shower invitations

Custom Design: ABC Baby Shower

ABC baby shower invitations I am digging deeper into the archives with this invitation that I did last year and still love. So much so that it inspired my Alphabet notebook on Minted.

Along with the invitation, I designed cupcake toppers and food signs.

To go with the alphabet theme, each sign said 'S is for' something. Cute and clever.

Custom Design: Oh Boy Baby Shower Invitations

Oh Boy Baby Shower Invitations I had a client that liked these baby shower invitations and coordinating menus so much, she ordered them twice. The first round, the colors were blue, grey and khaki, but this time, it was navy and green.

There was probably a year-ish between the orders and it's always nice when I can look back on a design that I did a long time ago and NOT be horrified. That's not always the case, I've been cleaning up my hard drive and let's just say very few avoided the trash bin!
