World’s Cutest Birthday Party Invitations

I saw these 1st birthday party invitations on Oh So Beautiful Paper, and immediately had a hunch as to who created them. They are the work of Melissa at Atheneum Creative (see these pop-up birth announcements and these bow-tie party invitations) – and I love them. All of the accompanying “branded” material is so cute as well – let’s talk about those ‘favorites’ napkins – could those be any cuter? I want my birthday parties to be this decorated. While I’m scared of Isla growing up too quickly, I’m excited to plan her first birthday party!

Pop-Up Birth Announcement

I’m always on the look-out for a creative baby announcement idea, and absolutely love these pop-up baby boy ones by Atheneum Creative. My love of these unique cards is enhanced by my obsessed with elephants (see evidence here). I have no idea how one goes about designing a pop-up card – that’s why I’d love it to the pros. What a cute way to announce a little baby boy to the world! What do you think about these cards?

DIY Stamp Save the Dates

I love coming across an invitation or Save the Date set that I’m obsessed with – most of them are found on Oh So Beautiful Paper. In fact, that’s where I found my stationery designer, Atheneum Creative. We met to review some options last Friday, and seriously y’all, I had the hardest time picking because I loved them all. I cannot wait to share pictures!

The other day, I totally fell in love with a craft + hot pink set of Save the Date invitations (here). Are they not gorgeous? And very DIY. That stamp from Antiquaria is amazing.

Wedding April 5, 2013

Cupcake Decor

One of the first things that Sasha and I decided on was the fact we wouldn’t have a wedding cake, but would instead have vegan cupcakes. I haven’t eaten eggs in over 10 years, and so I avoid most desserts. We found the best vegan bakery in Oakland, Fat Bottom Bakery, that will be making all of the cupcakes for our wedding (see related post here). I’m meeting with Atheneum Creative today to review the invitation designs – I’m so stinking excited. I’m also going to ask them to help make signs for a variety of things at the wedding – the cupcake stand being one of them. I’ve compiled my five favorite options – how cute are those little individual signs? Have you seen any other creative displays before?

Our Wine-Inspired Save-the-Dates

We sent our save-the-dates two weeks ago, and so I think it’s about time I posted some pictures! They were designed by Atheneum Creative, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how they turned out. We picked two custom logos for our stationary – one of them is shown on the wooden bottle below. I am currently “AS” and Sasha is “ASP” (Alexander Sasha Petrovic), and so we’ll become ASP on July 19. We have called each other ASP for awhile now, so we wanted to incorporate this into our logo. Now I cannot wait to help design the invitations!
