Breakfast at Tiffany's Bridal Shower


a lot of love went into this 'fabulous' shower invite! i used  the classic tiffany's colors and textures to keep the elegant yet, fun feel.


of course we needed the necessary "bling" accents


note the classic pearl necklace and little black dress that the guests are encouraged to wear, to keep in the spirit of "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

had to have a worthy mailing label to show the love....this should be so fun!( the bride-to-be is my daughters best friend)

Wood Shower Invitation

these invitations were on a lovely wood , layered with
a beautiful patterned cardstock, and printed on a
vellum with a tiny colored brad to hold it all in place.

envelopes were designed to compliment...
notice how the invitation layers are free moving, this
creates a whimsical design in itself.

little drink tags had to be done....cause i love the pattern
and textures.

BTW:these invitations were inspired by something i received a while back and just had to put my flair on it...too  much inspiration to hold back.
