A Kitchen Affair | Emily's Bridal Shower

Loved getting to design Emily's bridal shower invitations while designing items for her wedding day as well! She wanted a kitchen themed bridal shower invitation using gray, green, and orange and that is what we did! We created a fun, pop-art inspired design that was printed on white metallic paper and then layered on metallic cardstock. The invitation included a coordinating recipe card for guests to fill out and bring with them. Each invitation was enclosed in a metallic envelope that featured coordinating addressing and return addressing. I love the little teaspoons that we placed by her name on the return! :)

Soon after, we met and realized she actually lived on my same street! As we spoke, she told me that her daughter, Maggi, was born on October 27th and they had always had a Halloween inspired party for her but this year she wanted to put a twist on it.

Brea + Byron | "Mustache Bash" Couple's Shower

Here is part 2 of Brea and Byron's baby shower designs! For their couple's shower, they wanted "Mustache Bash" themed invitations incorporating a mustache and bow tie! We were dying to design using this theme so we were thrilled when they contact us! A chalkboard texture and chevron stripes were added into the design along with a black and white newspaper print pattern that is actually the same fabric that will be in Baby Young's nursery! Brea's a teacher and wanted books for her little one so a book insert was also included in this design. Love this idea! Did you miss part 1 featuring Brea's baby shower designs?
