I love unique baby announcements, and did a post last year on some of my favorites: Welcome, Baby! When I saw the newspaper inspired announcements on Oh So Beautiful Paper on Monday, I swooned. These are so darn cute and creative. All of the credits are listed below! What do you think of these cards?

As I’ve mentioned many times before, we worked with Papellerie on our entire stationery suite (save the dates, invitations, programs, custom napkins, etc.). I loved working with Riley and Amy so much – they were incredibly good at understanding exactly what we (probably more I) wanted. Every single piece of our stationery was better than I could have ever imagined. The only missing photos were all of the goodies they made for our guest boxes! I’m upset that I didn’t think to have Ryan to take any pictures of the final product (my very unprofessional iPhone pictures below). The only faux-pas we had was that our seating assignment board – a corkboard with pins and personalized wine tags for guest’s glass with their name and table number – was setup vertically instead of horizontally (as planned), which made the tags fall kind of… off? You’ll see below. It’s definitely not a big deal though. As an FYI, the calligrapher that Papellerie uses is Meant To Be Calligraphy and the map artist was Katie Gastley. Everyone was amazing.

Our Invitation Set
Our Programs
Our Placemats and Menus
Our Table Numbers
Our Reserved Signs
Our Table Assignments – a slight deviation from plan, as it was set up vertically instead of horizontally so the personalized wine tags don’t hang quite right! You win some, you lose some!
Our Custom Drink Bar Sign
Our Cupcake Flavor Labels
Our “Write your favorite memory” Postcards (A + S were gifted by my sweet little cousin!)

I really enjoy unique wedding invitations (ours featured here) – the recent trend that has caught my eye is having fabric invitations and/or save-the-dates. Whether it be a screen pressed invitation, a fabric pouch for the paper, or a custom printed handkerchief, the different material adds a special element to the set. I’ve put together some of my favorite examples below, including a site where you can order all sorts of custom fabric invitations for a very reasonable price. Click here to shop.

Often people pick a party theme, then search for the invitation. Stationery lovers may be inclined to reverse that process (i.e. I totally would). While babies aren’t on my brain personally, lots of Sasha’s friends either have kids or are ready to have them soon, so I’ve been on the lookout for good baby shower material. I found these gorgeous three shower invites on Minted, and decided to brainstorm decorations to complement the cards. BHLDN is the ultimate place for cake stands, vases, garlands, etc. Wedding planning is over, but party planning is ongoing!
Oh So Beautiful Paper just announced a summer cocktail series with St. Germain (um, what? dream collaboration come true). Nole has been posting fun St. Germain drinks for awhile, but these new recipes look amazing. I’m not drinking until the wedding, but you’d better believe that I’ll be trying all of these post-July 19! The illustrations and photography are also incredible.
