Dear week from hell,
Me, the beach and a bucket of brews are going to spend some quality time together to forget all about you. No hard feelings.
Sincerely, me.

We just recently got back from an amazing trip to Alaska, and boy have we had a hard time adjusting. With fire alarms going off, late work nights, and missing alarm clocks, I’m anxious to give a big heave-ho to this week and spend some quality family time at the beach relaxing and recuperating. In the meantime, (since I know you’ve been missing me dearly) I thought I’d share some DIY invitations I whipped up for my sister-in-law’s upcoming baby shower. She and my big bro are having a little boy and she wanted the invites to be fun, a bit modern and tie in with her nursery colors (lime green and aqua). She mentioned wanting some bunting at her shower, so I felt this design (which they ended up using) was quite appropriate.
Cute and simple, no? I like to give people options, but sometimes I get a bit carried away. I designed 3 invitations for this shower. Yes, there is only one baby being born, but I felt my future nephew deserved the best I could do – which entailed three completely different options.
I really liked the look of this one, but maybe it was a bit too feminine for a boy shower? Enter, option numero tres.
The chevrons are kinda funky and a bit retro, which I really liked as another option. Even though my sister-in-law picked the first card, I’d like to see what everyone else thinks. Are you batty over bunting, digging the dots or groovin on chevron? Sound off!
I do like her choice but the chevrons are way cool!
I love them ALL but if I have to choose one, I would have to go with the dots. I love how bright and (I think) masculine it is but still fun. I’m a sucker for color!
I like the chevrons.
I like em all, but I have to go with Stephanie – the first is my favorite :)
What is the font you used for Stephanie’s name in the third invite? LOVE it!
Dots! I like the dots.
I love the bunting too! I have been looking at a lot of invites lately and these are definitely top notch!
@LauraC: the font is called “saginaw”. I love it as well!
I like the dots, but the chevrons run a very close second! Jazmyne voted for number 2 also!
