Oh So Beautiful Paper

These baby shower invitations from Christa Alexandra are beyond cute. The new parents live in South Carolina, so Christa was inspired to incorporate a few southern details into the design, from a little bow tie to a seersucker pattern at the bottom of the invitation, all in a fresh mint green and charcoal gray color palette. So fun!

From Christa: I designed and printed this two-color letterpress baby shower invitation for the new mom of a little boy born in August. The family and friends organizing the party loved the idea of using mint and charcoal for the color palette.

The parents live in Charleston, South Carolina, so I brought in a few southern elements: a bow tie on the onesie, a little Ball jar with “Boy” written instead, and a seersucker pattern that lines the bottom of the invitation (and with letterpress it actually feels like seersucker). I used a light kraft envelope with wrap-around address labels to coordinate with the invitation. The invitation was printed on my Chandler & Price 1918 press.

So cute! Thanks Christa!
