As promised...


Last week, I mentioned the bridal shower I was throwing. We had so much fun!

It was a tea party, a proper tea party. We asked that everyone wear hats! I really was a load of fun, but I think what made it the most fun, was getting to see friends whom I hadn’t seen in over a year…

Ok, ok. Some of them were at my wedding, but I’m not completely sure I count that as getting to {seeeee} them. Ya Know? They stayed the night with my in my suite before the wedding, but I still didn’t get to {seeee} them. This time I did… three of us drove to San Antonio and crashed at a friend’s house there . That’s you know … a 5 hour drive in itself.

The next morning, we woke up at the crack of dawn. No. Wait. Before the crack of dawn. We were up at 3:30 to pick another friend up at the airport. Her flight was arriving at 4:15. We arrived there, and looked up her flight… it was running late… to the point of 5 am late.  So, we parked in a waiting lot and waited.

When we called her at 5 to let her know we were there… OH, her flight had been there since 4 am. Her flight was early. She had been sleeping on the floor at the airport… {seriously, she is the most intriguing, coolest person I know!}

We pick her up (took us two times around to get to the right place... oops.) And drove another 4.5 hours. Got dressed, had the shower, went back to sleep for a few hours. (Did I mention that we didn’t make it to San Antonio til about 11 pm.) We were WIPED!

That evening we watched When Harry Met Sally and had an ice cream smorgus board (5 different pints of blue bell ice cream… best dessert EVER!) We all stayed at one of the girl’s mom’s house.  It all seemed soo natural… you know being with my college girlfriends, hanging at a parent’s home…. When I realized… I’m a married woman, with my own home and a HUSBAND!

Growing up is weird.

Any ways, without further ado… a tea party invitation.

(I'm still figuring out this picture process.. )

{NOTICE the hanging tea tag! It's my favorite part! I hand strung them with a needle and thread.. you know just 63 invitations no big deal}

Choo Choo.. here comes lots of BLUE!

Seriously.

I love baby showers. I love hosting and helping.. and I LOOOVE making invitations. There is always so much room for creativity!

I did these recently for a friend’s 4th baby. We’re still waiting for his appearance, but his party sure was fun!



Later this week I will show off the lovely bridal shower invites I did for a friend. They are absolutely precious! And I have already received lots of compliments! Get excited!

National

My mom called me the other day with an AH-mazing opportunity! One of her co-workers needed invitations... and my mom referred her to me! {My mom has so much faith in me!} So, I got to work on this 'preppy' 'little man' baby shower.

AND I fellin LOOOVE with the outcomes check them out! They would be great for a golf party, or any preppy themed party. And the colors are soo easily changeable that anyone could use them.

The options first.



{can you see the faint polka-dots in the back?? makes it a great baby invite}
{sorry for the wonky pics.. my computer is being weird.}


But we finally decided on this one!


I truly L.L.Loove these!
