{Baby Shower Details} Green, White, & Gold Baby Sprinkle

Hi there! We hope you're having a fantastic week!

Today we're brining you this adorable green, white, and gold chevron "sprinkle" invitation. For those of you who aren't familiar with "sprinkles," it is a baby shower, but for a second (or third, etc.) baby. They are typically smaller and a bit more casual, so instead of a "shower," you're "sprinkling" the mom to be with love! :)

Our client came to us and let us know she wanted the sprinkle's color scheme to be kelly green, gold, and white. The other fun factor in this party? It was being held at Sprinkles Cupcakes! How apropos! :)

We started with a shimmer gold card stock, then printed the invitation on white card stock in kelly green and gold ink. The chevron pattern is fresh and modern, perfect for a "sprinkle"!

We also created coordinating thank you notes for the mom-to-be, so she could send her "sprinkle of thanks" to her guests afterward!

To see where we drew inspiration from for this design concept, visit our inspiration board here:

The green, gold, and white color palette is so fresh, modern, and fun. We can't wait to use it again for another project!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

A Royal Baby Shower

We recently had the privilege of designing a baby shower invitation for a royalty themed shower.

This concept excited us and seemed appropriate with all the talk of the

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge expecting their first baby this year as well!

The mother-to-be envisioned royal blue and gold in a sophisticated and classic design, with a high tea sort of feel.

The first layer is a square-shaped shimmer gold card stock.

The next layer (and it's sort of hard to see in the pictures), is a square card stock wrapped in a royal blue silk fabric--giving the invitation a richness that's not your every day invitation.

Fit for royalty, you might say :)

Matching royal blue envelopes were lined with shimmer gold paper.

We designed a "family crest" style motif as the focus for the top,

incorporating the family's last name initial.

The type styles were kept classic and sophisticated, with just the mother-to-be's name in a script font.

The whole invitation was wrapped in a sheer champagne ribbon.

The (royal) icing on the cake is the gold calligraphy embellishing each envelope, notifying the recipient of their official invitation to this "royal" affair.

We like to think an invitation such as this would be perfect for Kate Middleton herself
(if she was having a little prince, that is).

If she were having a princess, we might modify a few details here and there to give it slightly softer, more feminine feel, but still keeping with the timelessness and sophistication of a "royal" affair.

Happy Baby!

While we are at the tail end of the "busiest" part of wedding season, it seems as if baby season is in full swing! 

Here is a look at some of the announcements and shower invites we have created lately...all centered around things "baby." Enjoy :)

Baby Pillow Invitation

These were created for our dear friends Stacy and Eddie, who are expecting in September. They have decided to wait and be surprised about whether they're having a boy or girl. Isn't that exciting? Talk about the surprise of a lifetime! :)

In light of this fact, we used yellows and greens as the prominent colors, giving it a fresh, vibrant feel.

The umbrella graphic is embellished with tiny blue rhinestones at the bottom, and an orange rhinestone at the top.

The pillow is mounted on a piece of green cardstock to give it sturdiness and stability.

Then it's wrapped in tissue and placed in a box.

We sealed the boxes with a sash of coordinating polka dot paper and a round address label.

The return address label on the back was also round to complement the polka dots.

We used coordinating box colors in gray, sage green, chartreuse green, and a warm golden yellow.

What a fun way to send a baby shower invitation!

Peacock Baby Shower Invitation

This next shower invitation is one of my favorites...probably because I love the rich, vibrant colors of peacock feathers, and because it's just so darn cute!

The last name of the family happens to be "Peacock," so this invitation for the baby shower couldn't be any more perfect.

Love the pop of fuschia with the paper mixed with the pretty blue ribbon!

The jewel tones of the invite really make this a gorgeous presentation.

The envelopes for this invitation were a shimmery gold, lined with a beautiful peacock paper with accents of gold.

Sweet Baby Announcement

This baby announcement is just precious. We have featured this one once before. It seems to be our best seller and the most well received announcement that it was worth showing once again with a new colors. We love how it can be personalized with your favorite baby pictures and able to present more than just one. Because who can get enough of that sweet cuteness? Family and friends will just fall in love. Take a look:

This is a tri-fold announcement. Above is the front cover. Crystal and Roland were blessed with a new addition. A baby boy came into their lives, so we used shimmer black card stock as the background with a cement interior and blue ink. Masculine and striking!

And the last page... are the facts!

This is just a sampling of all the baby projects we've been up to lately! Hope you enjoyed taking a peek. We always love coming up with custom invites/announcements for our clients, so if you have an idea you'd love to see on paper, make sure to contact us! 

Thanks for looking!
