Spring is in the air…

Which means it’s shower season!  We’ve had several requests in the past few weeks for some very sweet baby shower invitations.  And we know that bridal showers will be happening very soon for the early summer weddings.  Today I want to share with you some of our recent favorite designs – all inspired by this lovely spring weather we’re having!

{this one was inspired by our collection of items from the perfect color combination!}

And, if you’re like me and want to bring the perfect off-the-registery gift, consider our personalized notecards.  We can create a customized set to match any theme and the bride or mother-to-be will be thrilled with your thoughtfulness!

{Notecards} Teddy Bear Silhouette

When Molly was born, I couldn’t wait to get her some personalized notecards so we could send thank you notes for all of the generous gifts we got in the hospital and after we arrived home.  I wish Beverly and I had created Sweet Birdie’s Nest then because I would have totally used these teddy bear silhouette cards.  I think they would make the *sweetest* thank you notes for new baby gifts or toddler’s birthday gifts.

Do you know someone who needs these adorable notecards?  They would make a great gift for the baby who already has everything she needs.  Find them in our Etsy shop today!

{Holiday} Christmas Party Circles and Gift Tags

The Christmas holiday is quickly approaching!  I’m usually one of those people who has my holiday shopping done before Thanksgiving, but not this year…between work, training for a half-marathon, and of course, my busy toddler, I’ve barely even started.  However, I have all of my gift wrapping supplies and am ready to decorate all of my un-purchased gifts!  And I’m so excited to use these gift tags that we created this year:

We created a set of party circles that you can use as gift tags, cupcake toppers, wine glass markers, or anything else you can think of!  The set includes four designs that you can punch with a 2″ circle or scallop punch, or simply cut out the square like I did for the gift tag above.

The best part?  These party circles are in our Etsy shop for you to purchase for only $3! That’s a steal, considering I saw a pack of ten gift tags at Target for $4.99.  We will email you the file and you can print as many sheets as you need for your personal use.  All we ask is that you send us a picture of the creative ways you use our Christmas party circles!

{Invitations} Rugby Stripe Sports Invitations

Beverly’s oldest son’s birthday is in January, just a few short weeks after the hub-bub of the holidays settles down.  While we’ve never neglected to celebrate Jackson’s birthday – always with a super fun party, too! –  the party invitations aren’t always prepared ahead of time.  So this year, in-between Christmas card orders, Beverly started working on some invitations that would be perfect for J’s party!  I love this simple, rugby-stripe, sports theme design she came up with (it’s inspired by one of our favorite holiday card designs). We can customize the stripe color and sports image to suit your party.

Are you loving these invitations as much as I am?  Find them in our Etsy shop today.

{Holiday Cards} Merry Dots

Are you lucky enough to have more than one photo you want to share in your holiday greetings this year?  This fun card design has four photo openings (but would also look great with just one photo).  I love the traditional red and green, but think it would be cute with other color combinations, too.

Want to use something other than “Merry Christmas?”  How about “Happy Holidays” or “Feliz Navidad?”  Visit the shop today to customize your card!

{Invitations} Cake and Ice Cream!

My dear friend Sarah asked us to create her daughter’s second birthday party invitations in October.  She was looking for something fun and purple, but didn’t have a theme in mind.  Beverly and I had been wanting to create a cake and ice cream collection and we thought it would be fun to do that in purple!  Sarah loved the design and asked us to add some green, so this is the final product:

{Almost as cute as the birthday girl herself.}

We were having so much fun at the party that I neglected to get any pictures!  Molly enjoyed playing with Ellie’s new kitchen and Sarah made delicious – and beautiful! – cupcakes.

Would these adorable invitations be perfect for your sweetie’s birthday party?  Check out the entire collection in our Etsy shop today.  There are four customizable designs to choose from.

{Sweet Parties} Safari Baby Shower

Remember the cute safari invitations we gave you a sneak peek of recently?  Well, our youngest cousin and his wife are expecting a baby in December and my mom, sisters and I were so excited to shower the mother-to-be with love and gifts this past weekend.  Beverly’s home looked beautiful as usual and my mom made a delicious spread (roast beef party sandwiches and cupcakes were the super-stars of the menu, along with other yummy treats!).  My mom also made the pumpkin centerpieces, inspired by the latest Southern Living.  (We get our Southern Livings each month and call/email/text each other on a regular basis until we’ve covered every square inch of the magazine – it’s our favorite!)

Anyway, it was a gorgeous day, Brandi (the mother-to-be) looked beautiful, and it was so nice to meet her sister and grandmother – who drove down from New York! – and all of her sweet friends.  Baby showers are such happy occasions!

The safari theme was inspired by the baby’s nursery, and we carried the colors and fun animal prints from the bedding and invitations into the other decorations.  We hope the remainder of Brandi’s pregnancy is happy and healthy and know she is ready to meet her bundle of joy soon!  At least she’s totally prepared now after the awesome gifts she got on Saturday.

Congratulations, Brandi and Ryan!

{Do you *love* this invitation?  Or the cute party circles, favor tags, or the Happy Day banner?  It’s available for your next shower or party in our Etsy shop.}

{Sneak Peek} It’s a Safari Baby Shower

Along with our mom and sister Whitney, we are hosting a baby shower for our cousin’s wife, Brandi, later this month.  She didn’t find out the gender of the baby, so we used her nursery theme as inspiration for the shower.  I love the playful safari theme invitations we came up with!

I think those safari animals would make cute notecards, don’t you?
