Baby Shower Invite Samples

While the average project lends itself to my making up to three samples for the customer to sift through and figure out what they're looking for, sometimes I find myself willing (and wanting) to make more. 

These situations usually arise when the customer is willing to pay more, has extra time or has given me a project that I feel will expand my own collection and experience. 

With a simple desire for a "baby shower invite for a shower with no real theme but will have be on Valentine's weekend and will have the color scheme of pink and chocolate" I had a whole realm of possibilities on my hands. The result is the following: 

(All samples were designed to be 5x7 JPEG files that the customer can print on their own)

Color scheme and age can be changed. 

Often when customers have an idea of what they're looking for they don't have exact specifics. 

If this is the case, I like to make their lives easier and give them a few options to look at and help us figure out exactly what they want. Here is an example of one of the samples I sent the customer before reaching the final design : 

Final Afternoon Tea Baby Shower Invitations

Afternoon Tea Baby Shower Invitations

I often have clients who have vague ideas of what they're looking for. 

They have a few likes and dislikes but don't have the details locked down. 

And that's why we make a perfect pair! 

I come together with a few samples that go in different directions (keeping in mind their original likes and dislikes) and then the client can give me much more specific requests based off of the samples I've made. 

Here is an example of three samples I made for a client and hopefully soon I will share what the finished product looked like!  

All samples are made for 5x7 digital files. 

Formal Modern Wedding Invitations

5x7 Invitation printed on cream cardstock (Neenah Paper) with an aubergine cardstock backing (Paper-source paper). Response card printed on same cream cardstock. Design idea presented by client and implemented by myself. Each card was printed and compiled with ribbon and stuffed into address-printed envelope for client who stamped and sent them themselves. 

Matching thank you cards were made as a gift for the client. 

Matching programs were made for the ceremony. 

Formal Wedding Invitations

I had the immense pleasure of creating my brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law's wedding invitations. 

Their wedding colors are blush pink & grey (with an extra emphasis on roses and bows).

They wanted a simple invitation, size 5x7, with an RSVP response card and reception information card. 

All wording was dictated by the bride and groom.

Photo currently edited for privacy purposes.  

Invitations designed with directions and requests from client after suggestions and options provided by myself. All supplies, envelopes & stamps were purchased by myself at the request of the client.

Invitations and envelopes were printed, arranged and made ready to be mailed by myself at the request of the client. 

How much I help in design, preparation and purchasing can be determined by client's preferences.

Wedding Shower Invitation

The following is a digital file I made for myself. Well, actually, for my mother who is throwing a little backyard shindig for my little brother and his fiance soon! But, since I'd be the one creating, printing & stuffing (into the envelopes, that is) it really was for me. 

So, this is a good time to let you see what you can do with a custom made digital card.

I wanted printing to be cheap (hey, guess why I started creating and making my own things?) so I went with all black ink and a size I could print from my own printer, 5x7. I decided to print on to colored paper and embellish it from there once printed. 

Here is an example of the digital file/card. 

Stay tuned for what the end result looked like!

Wedding Planning & Decorating

In the fall of 2010, I received the best gift and most wonderful surprise of my life; 

my then-boyfriend proposed to me! 

As a senior in college looking forward to my very last semester, 

I was more than excited to add planning my wedding to my schedule. 

My fiance and I were on a very tight budget so most of the details of our day were done by myself with whatever materials I could get my hands on. 

Unfortunately, on our most special day, we were blessed with "good luck" and a rainy day which took away our outdoor, picnic style reception. Our day was far from ruined as we just went with the flow and moved everything to the basement of our church. It made for a shorter and cozier reception that, while wasn't quite what I envisioned, created perfect and precious memories. 

I created & mailed out all of the invitations, created all of the programs, made all of the decorations, put together all the flower arrangements for the reception, made hair pieces & jewelry for the bridal party, made the ring bearer pillow, created & set up ceremony sanctuary decorations and created & designed the set up for the reception. 

Our Invitation: back lined with patterned green & orange paper.

The photo bottle was made by my Mother in Law, Lisa Huff.

Example of hairpieces; clips & headbands made of orange & green buttons. 

Example of jewelry; 2 bracelets and 1 matching necklace (with orange & green center stones).
