One thing that I love about what I do is that I get the opportunity to share in the excitement with my clients in celebrating their events. The following invitations that I have created are all for dear friends of mine, and my daughter Piper! What a treat!

The Hungriest Birthday

My friend from college celebrated her son’s 1st birthday this month, I can’t believe it has already been one year! Both she and I shared due dates that were with in three days of each other, crazy, right? Well Ian couldn’t wait to come into the world so he arrived 6 weeks early and it’s been a joy to get to know him and watch him grow since then! Mom wanted to celebrate by creating a theme surrounding Eric Carle’s The Hungry Caterpillar which is Ian’s favorite book! Ian loves books so much that mom and dad have reported that they can read up to 15 books to him before they tuck him in for the night. He loves to turn the pages and admire the beautiful colors. This theme was just perfect for him!

Aside from letting the artwork of Carle’s book set this invitation apart, I added pop up graphics in combination with personal photos, bright colors and of course, all the “biting” details.

Look at how the bakery,Jacques Fine European Pastries created a cake surrounding the invitation design, so delish! If you live in New Hampshire or are planning a party or wedding in the New England area, their cakes are amazing and absolutely worth checking out!

Of course what is a perfect invitation followed by? A coordinating thank you card of course!

BYOT: Bring Your Own Tiara!

This invitation was so fun and so girly, I just loved, loved working on these. Even if it required the use of tweezers and possibly me needing glasses with the fine sparkly details:) This princess theme for beautiful Amelia is so fitting, I bet the party favors will be tutus (even for the dads)! Mom even found the most adorable hair clip of a purple crown with pink jewels for the event (the clip is for her daughter, not herself;)

Eat your heart out Kate Middleton, Princess Amelia Kay is here to stay! xoxo

Chic Safari

Another one of my daughter’s friends is turning one, darling Layla! Mom wanted to set the chic safari theme from the get go so we did some feminine and fun patterned filled giraffes to get the party started!

My favorite is the argyle yellow giraffe, preppy little thing!

Thanks to all the families that asked me to help create these invitations to celebrate their little ones. It is such a pleasure to get wrapped up in the excitement with the parents!
