Jessica's Bridal Shower

My husband's brother, Michael, is getting married this Fall to the lovely Jessica.  There are so many qualities that make Jessica wonderful and we are very excited about having her in the family!

The family hosted their bridal shower in July.  Jessica is somewhat of a naturalist, so we wanted to have  natural elements at her shower.  She enjoys gardening so we, along with her MOH Michelle, thought what better theme to have during the month of July!  Her invitations were the beginning of the garden theme, complete with butterflies as part of the centerpieces, flower pots as favors and a cake that looked like a basket full of fruits and vegetables!

Her thank you notes were a 4 x 5 folded card with a floral motif to which I added "Thank You" on the front.

Special thanks to MOH Michelle who made the wonderful cake and to Fine Print who did the calligraphy for the placecards!

John's 3rd Birthday

My son's 3rd birthday was at the beginning of July.  We had a farm-themed party, complete with a visit from some real farm animals!  The invitations were so much fun to create.  I love the endless, creative options for kids' parties.  I mailed the invitations in a clear envelope with some "hay" inside the envelope.  I also used personalized photostamps, that fit with my farm theme.  Here are a few pictures of the day, including the invitation.  Enjoy!
