Custom Girl Baby Shower Invitations

I cannot imagine a more warm and happy occasion than a baby girl shower, unless of course it’s a baby boy shower and the baby boy happens to be yours. That would certainly be understandable, even to the one expecting the baby girl. Without continuing down that silly path, let’s talk about custom girl baby shower invitations.

First of all, to be in the position of ordering the invitations is an honor and pleasure; though the overall shower hostess responsibilities can be a little costly and time consuming. It speaks well of you, and it also speaks of the love and respect that the mommy-to-be has for you. You want to do all that you can to make her day special, and you will no doubt do just that.
Before ordering the invitations, there are a few things you need to know. While the mommy-to-be is the one you want to most please, you want to be considerate of others as well. The average age of the group and overall mix usually has some bearing on the specifics of your shower invitations. For example, if the group will include husbands then you may not want to make your invitations with quite so much of a feminine flair, though flaming pink is always acceptable for baby girl showers.

You also want to know the final decision regarding food. If the shower is being held around the noon hour, it’s usually understood that lunch will be provided, but you will want to mention that in your invitations.
And of course before actually ordering your shower invitations you need to know the names and addresses of all the invitees. Be very careful not to leave anyone out. Make sure that someone has spoken with the couple, of course, but also with their best friends and parents. An oversight here could really hurt someone’s feelings, and you sure don’t want that.


With the details you need in hand, you’re ready to order your shower invitations, and there’s only one reasonable consideration and that’s online. When you think about all of the choices that are available online, and the control you have to place orders exactly the way you want them, it’s the only place that makes any sense at all.
Just go online to a web site that has card design choices that fit your needs, features and options that you like, an ordering interface that’s easy to use, and the right technology.

It will walk you through each step, which will include picking out the card design that you like best, a good invitation message that you can change some to fit your needs, stylish fonts to have them printed in, and the ability to upload a picture and make it a photo card invitation, if you like. The technology will allow you to see your invitation on your screen and make the changes you feel are best. Once completed, you place your order.
That’s how you make custom girl baby shower invitations. You make the choices that fit you and your particular needs best, and technology does all the rest. You will actually be quite excited when you see your baby girl shower invitations, especially knowing that you customized and personalized them yourself.

DIY Wedding Invitations for your big day

 

 There are plenty of professional beach wedding invitations that you can purchase, but if you are trying to come in under budget and would like to add a special touch, then DIY wedding invitations are the way to go. 

This article will cover a few ideas to get you started making your own invites, but you will probably come up with even more ideas as you read. The idea here is to keep things very simple, yet beautifully done. Be sure to enlist the help of your bridesmaids when making the invitations. 

Sandy Memories 

This is one DIY wedding invitation that can be done very quickly and easily. You will need light blue cardstock, a custom stamp with your wedding information on it, embossing ink and brown or sand colored embossing powder, as well as a heat source, such as a blow dryer. 

This works best done assembly line style, one person should do the stamping, the next sprinkles powder and shakes it off and the third person can heat it to set the embossing powder. To really set things off, you may wish to add embossed blue waves at the bottom of the card, starfish or even seaweed along the edge. Or you could punch holes in the upper left corner of each card and use a string or ribbon to tie a small seashell charm to the card. 


Starfish Invites 

These DIY wedding invitations are a little more time consuming because you will need to cut out the shapes, unless you can find a die cutter that is the right size for this. You will need beige or ivory cardstock, folded in half and cut so that two arms of the starfish fall on the fold. Essentially you will have two starfish that are attached by the folded arms. 

It really is useful to get a stamp made up with all your wedding information. While this may seem a little costly, it will save you hours of work. 

Alternatively, you could carefully print everything on the computer and then cut out your starfish. 

Add a little glue and some sparkling sand around the outline on the front of the starfish invitation and you're done. 

Message in a Bottle 

To really take the beach wedding theme to extremes, these DIY wedding invitations are particularly fun. You will need a small bottle for each invitation, about 3" long and 1" wide, more or less, as well as corks for each one and a piece of parchment paper. 

Write, print or stamp your invitation information on a rectangle of paper, roll it up and push it into the bottle, then cork it. If you want to add a little extra oomph, try sprinkling some sand in the bottle or even drop in a couple of starfish or shell charms or beads before corking. You can also decorate the outside of the bottle with ribbons and charms, if desired. 

These are just a few DIY wedding invitations to give you an idea of what is possible. It's amazing what you can do with some pretty paper, a little embossing powder and several friends in an evening!
