Pink + Purple Baby Shower Invitations

Azusa, a freelance graphic designer in Los Angeles, sent over this nesting theme baby shower invitation set that she recently designed for a friend — and it's just way too adorable to not pass right along!

Azusa has also made the shower suite available as PDF templates in her etsy shop, One for You.  The set includes invitations, mailing labels, baby quiz cards, drink tags, baby wish cards, favor tags, and of course thank you cards — and it comes in the original pink, as well as blue or yellow:

 The flag-shaped drink tags are my favorite detail — so cute!  Thanks Azusa!

Foil Stamp Wedding Invitations

Rachel from Jolie Jolie featured these utterly gorgeous black and white wedding invitations from a designer friend of hers — and I am completely smitten with the foil stamp details on the black reception/rsvp card:

Aside from the line-drawing heart on the vellum belly band (a nod to Deny’s proposal), the invitation is completely devoid of imagery, but makes a huge graphic impact through the contrasting typography — letterpress printed in blue ink on white paper for the main invitation and blue foiling on black paper for the reception card.  I love it all!

Vintage-Inspired Coral + Pewter Wedding Invitations

So today is apparently all about color palettes!  Earlier it was shades of blue, and this afternoon it’s all about coral - one of my favorite colors this spring!  These invitations were created by Dauphine Press for the wedding of their art director, Erin, in California last fall.  First up, Erin’s Save the Dates, which mixed a lighter coral and espresso brown inks from her original Latin-inspired wedding vision:

Erin’s theme evolved as the wedding planning process continued, so for her invitations she went with a more romantic and sophisticated design – again using the bright pops of coral but paired with a more subdued pewter ink and ornamental flourishes:

So lovely!  You can read more about the design process and influences on the Dauphine Press blog right here – and check out photos from Erin and Todd’s wedding here.
