The only requirement for this custom design: masculine. Since I'm a pretty minimalist designer and I have a deep love for the color grey, it was pretty easy for me to keep it on the manly side. Using black, grey and bold typography, I had fun conveying the surprise aspect and the fact that he's turning 30 (not just your average birthday - I know because my next one will be 30 - yikes!). I printed the 'Shhh, it's a surprise' seal on the envelopes as well, and those were a hit.
AND - I hear he was indeed surprised. A success!
It's been a big week! My wedding collection was featured on 
Have you heard of a baby 'sprinkle' before? I have to say, even with invitations being my business, I just learned of this type of shower a few months ago through my sister. Then, as luck would have it, I designed two in a matter of weeks. Basically, it's a small scale baby shower for baby #2 or #3... a way of celebrating without registering for gifts, etc. Pretty cute.
