It must be that we have warm weather and beach days on the brain, but washes of blue sure are making there way onto the wedding scene. From watercolor calligraphy to backgrounds on stationery, gorgeous hues of blue are trending. Keep it dusty for a classic feel, or go a bit brighter if you want a modern touch. Here are a few of my favorites to inspire your day of stationery. –Lauren

How fun are these birthday party invitations from designer Lauren Chism? Crawfish and cake? Such a great idea! And total bonus points for a party concept (and invitation!) that appeals to both kids and adults!
From Lauren:Â Ben’s mom, Mary, and I worked together last year on a crawfish boil birthday invitation for Ben’s first birthday. The party was such a hit, that she wanted to do it again for his second birthday, but with a little different twist.
She came up with a ‘Crawfish & Cake’ theme and it was a really fun challenge to create something for the same person, with the same theme, but still making it unique for this year’s party. I think I achieved that with the long, skinny format and stacked typography. They are bright and fun and just make you want to be outside celebrating!
From the invitation design, I created coordinating stationery and a logo of sorts, which Mary used on cups and napkins. I love how everything turned out – they are playful for the kids but it’s still a party that adults want to attend. I know I wanted to!
Thanks Lauren!
