when it came time to plan for baby sister's bachelorette party, we knew we wanted it to be fun, fun, fun. she's not much for being the center of attention, but we had to play videos of her younger days as a power ranger! we rented a 15 passenger van to cart all the girlies around, and made middle sissy, who doesn't drink much, drive. ummmmm. poor valet guys!
for the invite, on top of fun, i wanted it to be different. gotta say - pretty proud o' myself when the idea of a big diamond ring came to me. and, then more pride, when i cut around the diamond making a pocket for the info...
have a little look
i wanted to be tongue-in-cheek with the invite, so did fun strike-thrus. i also took some of the cute things her hubby wrote on their wedding website, and added them to the back. when you pulled the info out, it said 'let the fun begin'. and, no bachelorette invitation is complete without a little bling!!
we hosted the party at my mama's house, so people from out of town could get ready there, and we could have a lingerie shower without a bunch of looky-loos. we had to hide baby sister so she didn't see the prep - that was fun!
we set up the desserts and drinks (take the plunge punch) in the dining room, along with the favors.
the girls got a ring pop and candy necklace with a cd in an ice cream bowl, complete with every bachelorette must-have - the penis straw. for the cd, we had each girl send the song that reminds them of baby sister. and, that jumbo van was rockin' all night long!
and, the last of the decor - the banners and all her gifts
it was a super fun time, and you wouldn't know that baby sister is younger than middle sissy and i by 9 and 14 years respectively. ahem. in fact, this is the face we got every time we told her what we were doin' next.
at least she's got her penis straw.
bachelorette party coming up soon? check out these other designs, too. let's chat.
wowza, has this been a long time comin'! it's time to show you, my three readers, all of baby sister's goodies. starting with her bridal shower. here's a little memory refresher of where we left off - save the date and the bridesmaid invites. de nada
{digression alert}
so, we've got these super dear friends - we're all practically sisters, and no question - mama mary was gonna host a shower for baby sister. now, mama mary's daughter has this ah.may.zing design business and it never crossed my mind that she wouldn't design the invites. so when mama mary called to tell me 'you know the style, you've done everything else, you're doing the invites to this', i hopped to it. she's not called 'sarge' for nothin'!
still with me? how 'bout we see the finished product?
if you recall, her colors were pool blue and coral. she wanted a fun design with lots of fonts - i think the trendsetters are calling these circus style. i don't really get it, but what do i know? so, fun, fonts, and fabulous? i'd say!
gotta have that matching envelope. let me just say - i don't think a design is complete without somethin' on the envelope. either printed or label, i don't care, but it just adds so much to the overall product, doncha think?
and, you know she needed thank you notes for all those prezzies. she actually used these for most of their gifts since the fonts and colors tied everything together.
what do you think? bachelorette party's coming up next. get excited!!
have a shower coming up? we totally need to chat.
from baby showers and announcements to bride and groom celebrations. had quite a few orders for bridal shower invites. here are just a few that have gone out recently.
fiestas are always a big theme for any party. whip up some fajitas, serve chips, salsa, and some margaritas, and you're golden. i thought it was super cute that they requested guests bring their favorite spice.
another take on a similar design. this time for a couples shower, and with the addition of the printed envelope. linen paper gives both invitations that little added excitement.
stripes and fun fonts are sometimes all you need to make an invitation. and, this font is one of my faves. you'll see that in the next two invites! this was a tapas party, but they didn't want to get to theme-y.
a silhouette of a bride's dress, in the bride's colors makes this design stand out - and, the scripty font just classes it up!
same style invite, but a ribbon around the bride's waist adds another dimension. printing it on super thick paper and rounding the corners take these over the top. invites don't have to be flat cards. ribbons, rhinestones, layers, rounded corners - all give your invite that extra special something.
getting married? hosting a shower? let's have a little chat!
other designs might give you more ideas.
Being so busy prepping for the awesome open house, I've fallen behind on updating the website, and showing you the latest designs.
So, this week, you'll see all the designs that have been pumping out of the workshop (well, maybe except the wedding invites, because those haven't been mailed yet).
The invites for this wedding shower mixed palm trees and a rustic background
some hibiscus flowers and pink, pink, and more pink
to achieve the "vintage tropical" look this client wanted. What do you think? Are you feeling the island vibe?
All I have to say is, I think I'll have a mai tai.
