{Product} Watch out for Dinosaurs!
I recently was asked to design a new party line for a former client. Last year she used my picnic line to throw her son's 2nd birthday and this year she wanted something new. When she first spoke with me she was planning on a park theme since the party was being thrown in a local park. I suggested modifying it to a dinosaur park and she loved it! I was really happy with the look of this new line and wanted to share it with all of you. Everything is available ready made and as a printable in my shop. If you don't see what you're looking for just ask and I'll be happy to create a listing for you!
It all starts with the invitation!

{Product} New designs from EEAD
I've been busy lately designing custom products for some of my wonderful clients. I really enjoy requests for custom items and my favorite is invitations. I love being able to take on an event from the very start. An invitation is one of the first items selected for a party and it needs to summarize the entire event into one envelope (or sometimes a box). This will be the first glimpse your guests have of what is to await them. I LOVE invitations! Here are some of the designs I've recently finished. I hope you enjoy them!
Vintage Peony Wedding Invitation
Lollipop Lane Invitation
Twinkle Twice Invitation
Pinkalicious Invitation
I've also designed a couple thank you cards to match some of my existing invitation designs and even a seating chart!

{Tip} "Thanks" the perfect gift!
So how many of you have been to a baby or bridal shower (or other event) and you were given a blank envelope? "What's this?" you ask the hostess. "Oh just write your name and address on it," replies the hostess. "It's for the thank you card the guest of honor will send you."
Okay I don't know about everyone else but this always irks my etiquette button. I never comment on the situation when it occurs. I simply grab a pen and fill out the envelope. But a couple of weeks later when I get the card ... it just feels weird to see my own handwriting on the envelope. Now don't get me wrong, I think it's a wonderful thing to do for the guest of honor. But it just seems a bit of a nuisance and kind of tacky for the guests.
My new favorite gift, when I'm hosting a gift giving event for someone, is to give them a set of thank you cards along with address labels for all of their guests and stamps. I give this to the guest of honor at the end of the event to be opened later, so they're not opening up their thank you cards in front of everyone. I like to give address labels instead of handwriting the address on each of the envelopes. This way if the guest of honor wishes to use different thank you cards the ones given can still be used at another time without having to buy all new envelopes for them. And while handwritten addresses for thank you cards are a really nice touch, I think most people will over look labels for a busy bride/expectant mother. And the guest of honor can always choose to hand-write the addresses instead of using the labels if they prefer, and the labels are still a big convenience since all of the guests names and addresses are readily available for them to copy.
I also think this is the perfect gift for the hostess since it is not very expensive, and lets face it, after throwing someone a shower giving them a big, expensive gift isn't usually at the top of the list. I also try and give a thank you card designed to match the style of the party. I think it's a nice touch that the event flows seamlessly from the initial invitation all the way through the event down to the thank you card.
I'd love to hear everyone's opinion on this gift idea. Would you enjoy receiving it if you're the guest of honor? As a guest if you found out the guest of honor received this as a gift, would it tarnish the thank you card when it comes in the mail?
