My wonderful mama wants to throw me a bridal shower next month. Being the obedient daughter that I am, of course I obliged. :) I asked her if there was anything I could help her with, and there was one item that was brought up: invitations. You see, my mama isn't as much into formalities of stationery. She'd much rather pick up a phone and casually invite her friends over than send a formal invitation. I offered to design the invitations for her since 1) it's fun! and 2) who doesn't like to receive a cute, formal invitations in the mail? We both thought it was a good idea, and after discussing/finalizing a simple design with her I whipped up these babies.
A flower border on both ends using my Fiskars border punch, a white Gocco'd bride as the first layer on the front, a quick floral rubber stamp on the back, and maroon Gocco'd text on top of the bride image = a quick, simple, and functional bridal shower invitation. It's nothing fancy, but I wanted to get these out of the way quick and deliver them to my mom to send them on their way.
While I was at it, I figured I might as well make a batch of matching Thank You cards. Just in case...
Who loves matching stationery? (me, me!)
Have you been in charge of helping with aspect(s) of a bridal shower that you otherwise would have had no part in?
