My sister-in-law, Melody of KTD Floral Design is having a baby and I won’t be able to make it to her shower due to the fact that I’ll be attending Lara Casey and Jeff Holt’s Making Things Happen intensive in Las Vegas. I’m bummed and excited all at the same time. Bummed because this is probably going to be Melody’s last baby, but I’m really just kicking that word probably around for the sake of Melody’s sanity. I’m not entirely sure that it will be her last. Excited because I get to meet Lara Casey, Jeff Holt, and oodles of industry people that I admire, stalk, and idolize because they’ll either be attending the intensive or attending WPPI! It’s schmoozing at it’s absolute finest! Hobnobbing with the best of the best! And eventually, Melody will meet them all, too. She is our consultant, after all. So Mel, just keep in mind that I’m taking one for the team, girl!
In honor of her last pregnancy, we- The Divas (what we have dubbed our close circle of wild women)- came up with a fair-themed baby shower and I wanted to make sure that the invitations were a reflection of how fun this event was going to be. I won’t lead on as to what will be taking place until after the event is over as Melody and some of the guests that will be there are avid readers of the blog. However, I do want to share the end-product with you. It is a gate-fold invitation that was printed on both sides, so as to save money and trees by not having to use extra paper.
Here’s to wishing you the best of luck and a successful birthing experience, Melody! We can’t wait to meet the newest addition. Let that little boy in your belly know that he needs to talk to the Man upstairs and send a good little soul to bless my belly, too.
OMG, I LOOOOVE it! Thank you for putting so much love into making it, you da bess sis! and I know your taking one for the team. I also know you'll have a fabulous time in Vegas, and I can't wait to hear all about it! Love you! xoxo
Girl, you need to quit it with that 'you da bess' biz! lol! I'm so glad you understand and I promise to let you in on all the skinny when I get back from Vegas. Wishing you good luck, good love, and good paper ♥
I LOVE it! The colors design font! Beautiful!!! Congrats Mel! And Ati hopefully soon! I’m with you girl. I really want one this year too.
Thank you, Tess! I'm so glad that someone feels me on that. It's hard, being surrounded by people who are popping them out left and right. I'm praying for you, honey! We can both keep our fingers crossed and our hearts open. *hugs*
