One of my girlfriends is going to be having a baby (hopefully) in the next several weeks and her sisters asked me to join in on the baby shower fun... I got to design a custom invitation and labels... which as we talked about last time, I LOVE!
Shawna is having a bouncing (literally... he's an active one!) baby boy. So, the colors for the shower are classic baby blue, green and gray all chosen from coordinating fabrics our host, Sarah picked out. The plaid on the invitation, the birds on the labels, and the cutie "b" on the return address labels were all inspired by the fabric choices. The theme of the party has a more clean, sophisticated style to it, but still fun and very baby-like. The fun part about all of this is that not only am I able to pull out my graphic designer skillz I've been able to be "crafty" with it too... Last week we all got together and made a doily paper chain from green, blue and white paper (Martha Stewart, you are a genius!). Then this week, me and my bff (also sister of mommy-to-be) designed, printed and constructed a cutie dot backdrop for the gift table. There's a whole lot more that we've been working on but those are my favorites so far ;)
I'll post some of the pics from the shower after the big day on Saturday, but for now here's some digital previews of what the invitations looked like.
