Rachel’s Whimsical Woodland Baby Shower Invitations

When it comes to baby shower invitations, sweet and simple will always win my heart. For her sister’s baby shower, Jessie from Gramercy Studio created a beautiful design with whimsical hand lettering and illustrated branches inspired by the outdoorsy nature of the parents-to-be. Beautiful!

From Jessie: This invitation design was inspired by my sister Rachel and her husband Bryant, who are having a baby in just one month. They are a sweet and outdoorsy couple, so I wanted to create a design that was fun, whimsical and a little wild. Illustrated branches frame the custom lettering against an aqua background.

Jett’s Little Newsboy Birth Announcements

Okay, so these little newsboy birth announcements from Suzanne of SHE Paperie are pretty much the cutest thing ever! The headline format provides the perfect spot for baby Jett’s adorable newborn photograph, while all the important details are enclosed in the “article” text below. Beautiful letterpress printing on super-thick gray paper and newspaper envelope liners complete the design!

From Suzanne: The vision for this custom birth announcement was all about newspaper! Before her baby arrived, my client found a tiny newsboy cap for him to wear during his newborn photo session with with Natalie Ann Photography. I collected newspapers from the actual day of the baby’s birth and used them to line the inside of each envelope. We also used a stack of the same newspapers for the baby to lay on during his newborn session.

The featured photo was digitally printed then mounted onto 333 lb. Gmund gray cotton paper stock. The beautiful letterpress work was done by Somersault Letterpress. Together, the creative verbiage, luxe cotton paper, and special envelope liners created the perfect touch to what what I’d imagined this birth announcement to be. Announcing baby Jett’s arrival to the world was truly a newsworthy event!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! My sweet Sophie had a big week: she started daycare on Tuesday! She did great this week, but I was a complete wreck on her first day. We’re all still figuring out our new routine, but it turns out that I’m approximately 800% more productive when I don’t have a whirlwind baby to chase after during the day. I miss my girl while she’s at daycare, but getting things done? So. Good. Today she’s home with me, so I’m heading out to enjoy this beautiful fall weather with her. But in the meantime…

Happy Friday everyone! Memory associations are such a funny thing. When we went into the hospital on September 10 last year, it was still hot and humid summer outside. When we came back out five days later with our baby girl (thanks induction!), it was cool and crisp fall. I will forever associate Sophie’s birthday with the changing of the seasons. And just yesterday, the temperatures thankfully dropped from the 90s to the mid-70s in just a couple hours. Which hopefully means good weather for a certain girl’s birthday party this weekend! But in the meantime…
