I’m ba-ack! Sorry, I’ve just been busy with the usual: banner orders and taking care of two cuties, plus it’s been super busy at work (I do have a day job – at least part of the time!) with reporting/forecasting, I had to do an inventory count near Chicago, and then we just wrapped up quarterly product cost estimates.
So would you believe that Hadley’s first birthday is approaching with insane speed! I can’t believe she’s going to be one soon! She looks like an 18 month old, so I’m sure nobody else doubts it!! I’ve been a busy lady, so I thought I’d share some of the party prep with you – let’s begin at the beginning with invitations:
I normally purchase invitations and such through Tiny Prints – love them! But I wanted a bird/tree theme, and they really didn’t have anything that fit with what I was looking for. So, I figured since I’m a seller on Etsy and I’m awesome (ha!), that there should be awesome birdie invitations on Etsy. I quickly came across Less Ordinary Designs by Sara Luke Creative on Etsy. and knew I had found the right place.
So, there’s this super cute woodland invitation – pretty close to what I had in mind.
But then I saw this great photo one; I really like including a photo for invitations so guests can have a picture of the birthday girl to keep.
So I worked with Sara to combine the two designs and customize the wording as well as make the birdies pink! – she was so responsive and easy to work with. In no time at all, I had the digital proof and ran to Staples to print them on cardstock. Love them!
I also have a bit of a thing for non-white envelopes. If I can use colored or other special envelopes, I’m all about it! So I picked up some kraft A7 envelopes from her shop as well. Talk about one stop shopping!
This is not a sponsored post; in fact Sara has no idea that I’m posting this. I just really like the quality and service she offers and wanted to share. Sara also blogs over at A Life Less Ordinary, where she talks about running a summer camp among other things – so cool!
The kraft envelopes are perfect for the woodsy theme and your H! White just wouldn’t work! 😉
