My baby shower invites!

 
I have been busy with baby showers lately, and the fun part is, they were my baby showers!:) I wanted to share with you these adorable baby shower invites! Both were designed by close friends and amazing artists. My first shower was in Chattanooga (where I'm from), and was at the Fairyland Club on Lookout Mountain. It was absolutely gorgeous and such a special day! It was so fun to celebrate Baby Binion with my best friends from high school!

Meredith Whitaker designed these precious invites. Check out her blog here — she lives in Atlanta and is a VERY talented graphic designer! My friends decided to include these cute little cards in the invitation that said "If I could give Hadley any Parenting advice it would be...", "My favorite thing about Hadley is..." and "The best advice my mother gave me was..." Guests were asked to fill them out and mail them or bring them to the shower. How cute of an idea is that? Then, the girls gave me this beautiful scrapbook filled with the note cards at the shower.

I will cherish this forever! Whenever I feel down or need a little advice,  I have to remember to get this scrapbook out! I don't think I will have to look very far since it looks perfect on the dresser in the nursery!


My second shower was in Mobile at one of my best friends homes, Ashley Dukes! It was absolutely beautiful and again, SO SO special! I can't thank the hosts enough for such an amazing shower! The invites were designed by Sarah Otts, one of my best friends and an AMAZING artist and painter. You must check out her website (designed by yours truly)! She drew this drawing of me, and I think it turned out great!

I am SO blessed to have such wonderful friends. I love y'all and can't tell you how much this meant to me! Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.

NoteTrunk Designs

It's the little things in life that make us happy right? Well, yesterday as I was addressing baby shower invitations, I realized I had run out of my return address stickers. Because I refuse to write out my address 65 times, I went straight to etsy and ordered a new custom return address stamp design. I immediately fell in love with NoteTrunk designs. You must check them out. Their designs are cute and original...not to mention very affordable!

Which one is your favorite? I was so torn and wanted to order all of these! However, I finally bit the bullet and went with the design below...

 Here are a few other designs I love...

 

So go ahead and order your stamps today! Just think about all of the time you'll save!

B Wise Papers

I can't remember when and how I discovered B Wise Papers, but I do remember instantly bookmarking their website for future reference. I love their designs — so clean and simple! Aren't these cards adorable?

cutest baby shower invitation EVER

Baby shower invitations are on my mind...not because I'm pregnant (sorry mom!), but because I'm in the process of designing several ones for friends. When I saw this invitation designed by Dinara - I just about melted! She designed these hand lettered invi­ta­tions for her upcom­ing baby shower!  Dinara is expect­ing a baby girl in May, so when it came time for baby shower invi­ta­tions it was only fit­ting that Dinara apply her illus­tra­tion and hand let­ter­ing skills to the design.



Dinara worked with Lau­rie from Lucky Bee Press, who pro­vided 2-color let­ter­press print­ing in pink and yel­low.  Aren’t they adorable?

So sweet!  Thanks Dinara and Oh So Beautiful Paper for this discovery!
