• POLKA DOT BABY SHOWER INVITATIONS…

Graphic Design – 10.05.08

I have a beautiful young lady in my Sunday School Class who is expecting her first child in December, therefore, she needed a baby shower cake and invitations. Her shower is October 26th, so it will be a couple weeks before the cake will be up to view, but she wanted to match the following magazine clipping to both the cake and invitations:

I came up with three invitations that incorporated different elements of the room pictured above, such as color, polka dots and stripes.

Design #1- Pulls the striped background from the back of the blanket. It has a pink piece of card stock with baby tea details attached with two ribbons. I rounded out the corners of both sheets to give it a soft look.

Design #2 -Pulls the whole design from the front of the blanket. The background features the polka dots while the center pink sheet contains the information attached with ribbons. The corners are right angled like the blanket.

Design #3- Pulls from the border on the wall. The background is pink with the information. I designed a small strip of card stock with the polka dot design of the border and attached with ribbon.

Jamie ended up choosing Design #2  so I printed 75 invitations, cut out design which included the shower info, punched holes, tied the ribbons and stuffed envelopes. Thanks to my lovely mother helping me thread ribbons through the holes and stuffing envelopes, I finished much quicker than doing it solo. Always nice to have her helping hands and never-ending support. Now, we’re looking forward to the matching cake!

    Thanks Beverly, you are so creative! I absolutely love my invitations and have already had so many compliments. I can’t wait to see the cake. We are so excited and nervous all at the same time. Thanks again for all you’ve done!

    You did a wonderfully creative invitation! I loved it. I wasn’t there to see the cake but I bet it was great, too. I’ll have to ask Jamie.

    I am planning my daughters first birthday party and her bedding is the bananafish bubble gum pattern. How can I create a birthday invitation like this?
