I had the pleasure of designing bridal shower invites for a
friend of mine a couple of months ago. Her younger sister is getting married and as
matron of honor, she was throwing her a bridal shower in their home state for their family and friends! She
wanted a 5" x 7" invite that would convey the kitchen theme of the shower, by including aprons, spoons, bowls, etc. So, I
started with the woman’s figure wearing an ivory apron to give it a “wedding”
feel, while also incorporating the colors the bride had picked for her big day (ivory and navy).
My friend wanted to include information about a raffle they would be having at the
shower and we decided it would be cute to make the pocket of the apron an
actual pocket in the invitation. I cut a slit above the lace of the pocket and
we were able to slide the insert right in. By mounting the invites on an ivory
cardstock, it held the insert in place, with a little bit poking out at top so
that the guests would see it there.
She also wanted me to create coordinating 4" x 6" thank you notes as
a gift for her sister. With coordinating return address labels for the
envelopes, she will only need to write her notes and address them!
I also created coordinating return address labels for the
invitation envelopes.
I was very happy with how everything turned out and my
friend and the guests loved them too! You can check out my Facebook page for additional pictures of these products.
