{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! It’s been another crazy week over here, but we’re slowly digging out from all of our boxes! Sadly, Sophie came down with a bad cold this week, so we’ve been spending a lot of time trying to help our poor congested baby feel better. After what feels like a lifetime of packing, moving, and now unpacking, we’re determined to do something fun this weekend! But in the meantime…

Emily’s Whimsical Animal-Inspired Baby Shower Invitations

These whimsical baby shower invitations are beyond adorable – but I’d expect nothing less from the ladies of Wiley Valentine! Rachelle designed the invitations for a shower in honor of her business partner, Emily. Rachelle incorporated Emily’s love of animals throughout the design while also mixing in vintage-inspired elements and soft pastel colors. So pretty!

From Rachelle: Emily is not only my business partner of 11 years, but also one of my dearest and closest friends. I really wanted to capture her love for animals, her subtle “vintagey” style, and the muted color palette that is just so her. I was inspired by hand drawn fonts, old children’s books, and a small touch of whimsy.

The color palette was soft pastels: subtle aqua tones mixed with neutrals and a tiny hint of blush. The invitations were letterpress printed by Czar Press on extra thick cotton paper, with pale blush painted edges.

I had fun with the wording too, starting off with “We are Wildly Excited”, and including “it’s a girl” on a flag at the bottom of the invitation. The invitations really set the tone for the shower, where the elements of animals and the tag line “We are Wildly Excited” appeared.

{happy weekend!}

You guys! Today is the big day! We’re off to meet with our agent for the closing, and after that we’ll officially be homeowners! And between the craziness of packing, some last minute shenanigans from the title company (ugh), and a million other things, I’m kind of amazed that we got through this week at all. We have just a couple more days of packing left, then we move in on Monday! Luckily my in-laws are coming down to help this weekend, followed by my dad early next week. Wish us luck with the move – we’ll definitely need it! But in the meantime…

{happy weekend!}

Whew! From a less-than-24-hour trip to New York on Tuesday (more on that next week) to a photo shoot yesterday for a special upcoming project, not to mention preparing for our big move in less than two weeks, it’s been a whirlwind of a week! Also, Sophie turned SIX MONTHS OLD! I can’t believe how fast her first year is flying by, and right now we’re just trying to soak up every second. This weekend will be filled with packing, packing, and more packing, but we’re also hoping to enjoy some of the wonderful spring weather that has been peeking through lately. But in the meantime…
