squirrel baby shower invitations

Many great things are coming to LizzyB Loves. A new site for the coming Spring (with a new sneak peek in a few weeks) and much more, but in the meantime, take a look at the cutest Squirrel Baby Shower Invitations I designed for my sister-in-law’s Baby Shower.

She is now considered the Snow White of the family with all the little critters that flock to her (amongst them dogs, squirrels, and butterflies), so I based the custom illustration on her current pet, Squeeky the squirrel.

The color palette was a soft, rosy pink combined with a chocolate brown. I shared the visual + sparkle = inspiration with you here.

All the illustrations were brought in together with graphic elements of chevron patterns and crest shapes.

The invitation consisted of a metallic pink folder which held the invitation card on one side and double-sided registry card in the folder slot.

The Squirrel Baby Shower invitation was held together with a chocolate brown belly band to give contrast with the soft pink, combined with a floral patterned paper band to add a touch of brightness to the palette. And of course the squirrel motif could not be left out on the front as the first thing the guest saw as they received the invitation.

I’ll share the decor pieces I created with the same chevron and squirrel theme in the coming days.

giraffe baby shower invitations

It’s been forever, I know, but I’ve been finalizing these oh-so-cute Giraffe Baby Shower Invitations to share with you.

Precisely, my previous post was the brightly-colored modern visual + sparkle = inspiration for this cute Giraffe Invitation, so now here are the quick images I snapped to show you the final piece.

These Giraffe Baby Shower Invitations were inspired by the previous Owl Baby Shower Invitation I created and shared here. The baby shower is for a soon-to-be-born baby boy so the colors are the perfect combination of bright, modern and masculine with the vibrant orange and green paired with the muted gray.

For this Baby Shower Invitation I chose a dotted cardstock with its matching envelope to add a punch of pattern combined with the spots on the giraffe itself. The event was still tentative so the invitations were created as a fill-in so the soon-to-be-mom could write in the correct information as she saw fit.

These were printed on a cream, textured Neenah Paper from the Eames Furniture Collection which only added to the softness of the invitation.

Of course, a matching address label is a must, with the return address on the back as you can see below.

And the diagonal lines were a must to keep with the modern look.

owl baby shower invitations

As promised, I have for you the Owl Baby Shower invites I designed for my cousin Silvanna.

I took inspiration for the owl illustration from the cute owl stuffed toy she created for the center pieces, which you can see here.

I added a cross-hatch pattern as a background to the body of the owl to add sense of texture to the design.

Each of the Owl Baby Shower invites were cut individually by hand to create the owl shape around the top of the elongated invitation.

These were then glued on to a hot pink backer to act as a frame to the white Eames Paper from Neenah Paper.

The back of the invite showcases the pertinent information, and as a design element, shows the backside of the owl as you would see from behind.

I also created complimenting address labels with the branch motif used on the invitation itself and the diagonal line block as well.

The branch also has a wooden texture to give the design more dimension.

I’ve always loved the way crisp, cut paper looks and feels…and to imagine all this was cut by hand, I’m surprised it’s so straight!

The paper stock and envelope (also from the Neenah Paper Eames Collection) have a great textured pattern which only added to the overall feel and dimension of the textured motifs throughout the invite set.

The complete Owl Baby Shower invitation set consisted of an elongated, double-sided invitation slipped into a #10 policy envelope sealed with a long address label. Bright and colorful!
