Creative Baby Shower Invitations

I’m always scouring the internet for creative stationery – whether it be for a relevant life event or not. A baby shower invitation can inspire a birth announcement. A wedding save-the-date can easily become a Christmas card. A first birthday invitation You get the drill.

So although I’m not throwing any baby showers in the near future, I have been collecting some of my favorite designs recently and want to share them. I’ve posted two other favorites in the past: Geometric baby shower invitations by Lauren Chism found here and baby boy bowtie invitation by Atheneum Creative here.

I absolutely love all seven of these designs. They’re all very unique and range from brewery to literary tea party themes. I might be lying if I didn’t say the prince and gold polka dots weren’t my two favorites. Which do you like the most? Have you seen other cute ones? If so, please share the link in the comments below!

Creative Gender Reveal Cards (+ Confetti)

Sasha and I decided against a gender reveal party, as we were scheduled to find out the baby’s gender while we were in Bali, and there was no way in the world I would wait two extra weeks to find out. We opened the email from my ob-gyn in our hotel room and literally squealed, then rolled around the bed, giggling with excitement. It was so sweet and intimate – I couldn’t imagine it any other way. We had told very few people that I was pregnant at that point (16 weeks), so decided to do a big bang reveal and tell people that I was pregnant and expecting a baby girl.

Recently, I’ve seen some very cute and creative gender reveal options that don’t involve cake and a big party, and I think we’ll use one for baby #2 (don’t get any crazy ideas, this won’t be for awhile).

My favorite announcements are featured below. Have you seen any other cute and creative ways to announce a baby’s gender?

Lauren Chism

Once again, Lauren Chism creates the cutest card. See other favorites here! I love the cute little envelope within an envelope – an extra level of secrecy. All of the confetti is so pretty too!

Celebrating Derby Day

Ever so slightly obsessed with these Kentucky Derby invitations by Lauren Chism – are they not perfect? As is the styling for the photos!

We had dinner with Sasha’s best friends on Saturday, and one of the couples is heading to the Derby this weekend. I have always wanted to go! I would be all over those hats. The Derby makes me think of Classy Girls Wear Pearls, which is funny given that her most recent post is about packing for this big event!

Simple, Clean Birth Announcement

Simple, clean black and white letterpress birth announcements? Swoon. And that name? Totally besides the point, but Jackson Dixon is so southern and absolutely precious (as is his cute little face!). I saw these announcements on Oh So Beautiful Paper by Lauren Chism and love them. The black-and-white makes them very classic – almost newspaper-esque (like these). What do you think? Too simple? Or simply perfect?
