Summer Showers

Christina is a brave bride planning other 'Southern bridal showers' while planning her own wedding. Christina's sweet bridesmaids are throwing her a bridal shower in just a few weeks. They actually found a design they liked but wanted changed to fit their own design and shower ideas and sent it to me. Here's what we came up with...

a Southern shower

Finalllly, another post. My roommate's good friend Christina lives here in Maryland but is throwing a 'Southern' bridal shower. She emailed asking for help with some invitations to reflect the Southern theme knowing I'm 'from the South.' Little did she know, the shower is actually pretty close to my hometown of Smyrna, Georgia.

Anyhow, she knew she wanted a Mason jar in the design and wanted the flowers inside to be 'Southern.' I came up with some dogwood looking flowers that still fit in the yellow and blue color scheme of the wedding and shower. Here's how they turned out...

Thanks Christina and good luck with the shower!

A lot of people ask how long designs and printing take so they can figure out how early they need to order. That's a pretty good question. It's fair to say they usually take about 2 weeks before shipping. All invitations are printed to a 5" x 7" size on 110 lb cardstock. Typically, the base set up fee is $15.00 and each invitation is $1.50. Special pricing available for quantities greater than 15. Shipping is not included.

Philanthropy

Need a design for a philanthropy or organization? A good friend sent me her organization's logos for their upcoming race to raise money for autism in the Greater Baton Rouge area. I was able to take the low resolution images, re-make them and format them as a race bib and t-shirt. The organization was able to raise over $100,000 through sponsorships, the race and t-shirt sales.

Monograms!

Every Southern girl loves a good monogram. Need a monogram for a design of your own? ... stationary? your own blog? a DIY invitation or program? I have the perfect solution!

Classic Bridal Shower

This is one of my favorites for a classic bridal shower. Need a shower invitation but don't have a theme? This is a perfect idea for a classic shower that can be modified to fit the bride's wedding colors. Definitely a fun design inspired by some fun ideas that the hostess had in mind for the shower.

Stock the Bar!

My good friend Laura contacted me looking to have invitations made for a bridal shower. The bride was looking forward to celebrating with a 'Stock the Bar' shower. Laura and I had a great time coming up with ideas for cute invitations that incorporated the bride's fun personality and wedding colors. Here's what we came up with...

Bottoms Up!

In moving up to Frederick I learned that a pretty cool brewery is just around the corner. The Flying Dog Brewery was originally brewing in Colorado but recently relocated to Maryland. Reservations for the tour are inexpensive by hard to come by. For Christmas, I wanted to come up with a unique gift to give some of my new friends up here in Maryland. A case of the local craft beer and a tour of the brewery sounded perfect. The brewery doesn't actually give out tickets, so I made some of my own! And of course I had to cut it out to be in the shape of a beer bottle and tie a ribbon around it... I'll post that too. :) The tour was good, taste testing the craft beer was definitely better.

These are fun, and definitely make for an easier way to give for those hard to wrap gifts. Here's what I came up with...
