Custom Creations

I designed my BBQ invitation a couple of years ago for my friends' rehearsal dinner (a bbq dinner at Memphis' Famous Rendezvous Restaurant) and it has been a huge hit ever since. 

Also looks great in other colors.

And this past week I've had requests for more customized options (which I love!)

 

On the left we have a seafood boil rehearsal dinner invitation - I softened up the colors a bit and replaced the pig with a crab - perfect! And on the right we have an invitation for an Oktoberfest themed engagement shower, so I used harlequin patterned background and swapped the pig for clinking beer steins. Both invites have the same basic layout as the BBQ invite, but with enough changes to make 2 completely original invitations! 

All invitations are available on my Etsy Shop (click here). I always love custom design work, so don't be afraid to ask!

Tracy's Baby Shower!

Tracy, a long time client of mine, is having a baby! YEA! I'm so thrilled for her (it's a boy!) and I was so honored when I was asked to design the baby shower invites! 

She didn't have a definite theme for the nursery or anything, but she was drifting towards a more clean, simple, natural style, so I whipped up this little number for her. Love the Grocery envelopes with the invite!

The hostesses asked all the guests to bring a book for Baby instead of a card - love that idea!

I also love this idea: Wish Cards! Each guest fills one out to give their wishes for the baby! So sweet!

Congratulations, Tracy! It looks like it was a lovely shower and I can't wait until your bundle arrives!

What's it going to bee?

I'm back! After a much too long blogging hiatus I am back and ready to roll with lots of new and exciting posts to come - so be sure to stay tuned!


Let's start with Julie and Ben's gender reveal shower.


Julie and Ben are having a baby (clearly) and one of their very good friends wanted to throw them a Gender Reveal Party. This concept is rather new to me, so I was excited to both help with the invitations and signage and to also attend as a guest.

Invitation

The lovely hostess (Cindy) decided on a bumble bee theme (cute!), and the nursery colors are yellow and gray (love!), so I designed the invite accordingly with a honeycomb design and a softer color palette. This design now available on my Etsy Shop - click here for more info. 

Decor

With yellow gumballs, lemons, yellow and gray striped wax straws and all manner of yellow flowers, Cindy did a simple yet striking job with the decor. Every last detail was present and accounted for: a locally produced honeycomb on the cheese tray, a Bee Sting speciality cocktail and the guest favors were a glass honey bear filled with local honey! It was fantastic!

Cindy also did a Wish Tree, where guests fill in their wishes for Baby Hollis and pin them to the tree. It made for a striking finished piece and Julie and Ben will the cards in their scrapbook to have forever!

The Big Reveal

Cindy had a large box taped shut with balloons inside (Julie and Ben didn't even know at this point!). Once they lifted the top the balloons came popped upward and the big new was revealed! Yup, it's a girl!

This party was so much fun to go to for so many reasons! The food and decor were fantastic and it was so much fun being around friends and family all waiting in anticipation for the exciting news. And the fact that the couple didn't even know (Cindy kept it a secret!) was the best part - we all got to find out together!) Congratulation to Julie and Ben on their news! Can't wait to meet her! 

Vintage Letters!

I had a client of mine contact me about a custom shower invitation (which are my fave!) She said the mommy-to-be was into a classic, vintage style and the wanted the invite to have some of that charm. No problemo! Enter: Vintage Letters!

Now available on my Etsy Shop - click here to check it out!

Good Golly we had fun!

This past weekend I helped host a shower for friends of mine and we decided to invite (the always fantastic) Molly Kennedy from Good Golly Photography to come along with her (completely amazing) photo booth - with props and everything! The photos are absolutely awesome (as you can see below) and everyone (even the guys) got into the spirit. I don't think I'll be able to go to another party without a photo booth again - it was that much fun!

invites by JPress Designs, duh!

As the drinks kept flowing, the photos got sillier and sillier (I had to carefully edit out of the 164 photos she took!) Molly brought everything needed for the shoot (settee, backdrop, props) and (as always) was a blast to work with. Contact her today to take your next event to the next (way awesomer) level!
