Heather’s Hand Lettered Bridal Shower Invitations

Happy Monday everyone! I thought we’d start the week with these beautiful invitations from designer Christine Wisnieski for her sister’s bridal shower. Christine paired gray and white invitations with a gorgeous marbled paper envelope liner. Christine hand painted the text at the top of the invitation, which was digitally printed (in white ink!) on dark gray paper. So pretty!

From Christine: Earlier this month, my mother and I had the pleasure of hosting a wedding shower toasting the soon-to-be bride – my sister Heather – and groom. The afternoon took place at a cozy little wine bar and was filled with love, Moscato, and laughter.

The invitation featured hand-painted type, a marbled envelope liner, and a custom candle favor package for guests. The invitation was printed digitally on a smoke gray paper stock (some typography required nearly six passes of toner!).

Happy First Day of Summer everyone! I tried to make the most of the last official week of spring: I took a pointed pen calligraphy class taught by Michele of Meant To Be Calligraphy (that’s my handiwork below) and took Sophie for her first real outing in a playground – including her first experience in a swing! We don’t have any particular plans for the weekend, but I’m hoping to make some progress in setting up my office and unpacking our remaining boxes. I can’t wait to be organized again! But in the meantime…

Haley’s Romantic Floral + Lace Bridal Shower Invitations

These bridal shower invitations from Kara Anne Design combine three of my favorite things: beautiful calligraphy, kraft paper, and a colorful floral pattern. What could be better for a summer bridal shower in the South? I’m also loving the lace-inspired inner envelopes made from doilies. Such a sweet and feminine detail!

From Kara: For my life long friend, Haley, I wanted to create a beautiful and tasteful bridal shower invitation. The envelope liners are a custom watercolor painting that gave the invitation the perfect pop of color for a summer wedding.

The inner lace envelopes were hand made using paper doilies and silk ribbon that enclosed the invitation.

The invitation was printed on a bright white laid paper to add a little texture to the paper suite. For the final touch I used white calligraphy ink on kraft envelopes. The invitation set the tone for the party! For Haley’s special event, Lulu’s Cake Shop in Montgomery, Alabama created a delicious and beautiful cake that embodied exactly what I had in mind: lace and flowers!

We made a cake banner with kraft paper, little wooden sticks, and white calligraphy ink to match the invitation envelopes.

{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…

Stephanie’s Black + White “April Showers” Bridal Shower Invitations

How fun are these black and white invitations for a modern bridal shower? Andrea from Featherpress Design was inspired by the old “April showers” adage to use a vintage umbrella as the main focus in the design. Graphic envelope liners and polka dot mailing labels – both also in black and white – helped complete the look!

From Andrea: April showers bring May flowers. In this case, an April bridal shower makes for a fun black and white design that of course includes an umbrella! Regular umbrella art just wouldn’t do. I re-drew a photograph of a vintage black & white umbrella so only the most simple of shapes would show. Stephanie’s name was also redrawn from a script typeface.

These invitations definitely set the tone for Stephanie’s bridal shower. We wanted a playful yet modern look and the actual shower will be adorned in black and white decorations.

We added drama and sophistication with black and white chevron envelope liners. We also kept the costs down by digitally printing the invitations, address labels, and envelope liners all in black and white. The envelopes are from Paper Source and labels are Avery from OfficeMax.
