Stationery A – Z: General Party Invitations

Cooler weather is the perfect season for indoor parties, from pre-Thanksgiving gatherings to holiday open houses. Fill-in party invitations keep things light and informal, not to mention you could use them for anything from baby showers to dinner parties. So start making your famous finger foods, prepping your signature cocktail, and stuffing unneeded odds and ends into the closet in an organized-chaotic way. Happy party planning! — Tashia

What. A. Week. While we weathered the storm pretty well here in DC, my thoughts have been with those in New York and New Jersey affected by Hurricane Sandy.  The images and stories of the destruction are completely overwhelming and I know the road to recovery, much less the restoration of power, will be a long one.  When I haven’t been completely glued to the news, somewhere between last weekend and today, my little Sophie suddenly stopped looking like a newborn and started looking like a real baby.  She’s getting bigger each and every day, even though she’s still smaller at 7 weeks than some newborns, she’s paying closer attention to objects, and she’s smiling at us!  The smiles just make my heart melt.  This weekend we’re planning to visit our favorite flea market and relax at home, but in the meantime…

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  Sophie and I survived our first week on our own, and while I’m perhaps a teensy bit more sleep deprived than I was last week, I’m slowly gaining confidence with our new daily routine.  My one-handed typing skills are much improved from last week – now I just need to figure out how to calm a fussy baby with one hand and do everyday tasks (like washing my face) with the other!  For the moment, I’m just looking forward to a quiet weekend before Hurricane Sandy rolls into town early next week.  But in the meantime…

Misty’s Modern + Rustic Baby Shower Invitations

Designer Misty Manley is expecting a baby boy later this year and was kind enough to send over the invitations that she designed for her upcoming baby shower.  The two-color letterpress printed invitations feature a mustard yellow and teal blue color palette, blind emboss woodgrain pattern, and fun chevron stripe envelope liners.  I’m absolutely in love with the custom rubber stamp that Misty designed for the envelopes – such a fun detail!

From Misty: I designed these invitations for my upcoming baby shower.  I chose to do 2-color letterpress with a blind emboss of a wood grain pattern to match the theme of the shower, “How Tweet It Is” – which will combine birds’ nests, twigs, and rustic details with pops of a yellow chevron pattern.  The invitation is backed with teal paper.

I also designed the matching seal and created a custom rubber stamp through Simon’s Stamps (a great resource!).  Finally, I lined the kraft paper envelopes with chevron stripe envelope liners.

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  Time is still kind of relative with a one month-old newborn at home, but this weekend really snuck up on me!  This was my husband’s last week of paternity leave, so we’ve been trying to squeeze in some fun activities around DC before he goes back to work.  Luckily Sophie loves to be in the Ergo and pretty much sleeps through an entire outing.  I’ll admit to being kind of nervous about being on my own with Sophie during the day starting next week, but hopefully we’ll get the hang of things without too much trouble.  I’ll find out soon!  But in the meantime…
