A Very Un-Bridal Shower

So it has been months since my last post! Much has happened:) My husband and I are expecting our first child- the morning sickness is long gone now but definitely made it harder to post. We also moved which was a bit challenging. But all settled now and back in full swing! I have been busy designing new invitations for bridal showers, baby showers, save the dates, weddings... you name it!

My latest design request was for an Alice in Wonderland themed 5x7 invitation for a bridal shower. The colors being black, white, teal and magenta. This is an exciting theme because it is such a creativie movie and story and there is sooo much you can pull from! It makes me want to plan a party around this theme just to think of fun things to do for it...But for now we will focus on the invites:)

So I pulled a bunch of Alice in Wonderland themed invitations and graphics,
and played the Tim Burton movie version while I designed away. The movie is very inspiring and the tough part was trying to make it NOT look like a deck of cards or a little girls birthday invitation (although how adorable is that for a bday party?).Scroll down for the end result:)

These type of flat invites designs (with coordinating envelope) are only $2 a piece with price breaks at 100 invitations. Email me if you are looking for a personal design for your next event! Melissa@whimsique.com.
