My little sister is getting married. Eeeekkkk!!! It still doesn’t feel quite real that my baby sister is getting married this summer. Seriously, when did she go from being a little girl with wild banana curls to a beautiful, (and very grown up) young woman?
For as long as I can remember my sister has loved the color pink. Sometime during the planning of my own wedding, I made an off hand comment that when she got married her bridal shower theme would be ‘Think Pink’. So when the bridal shower planning began it seemed only fitting to follow through with ‘Think PINK!’ theme.
Creating invitations is one of my favorite creative things to do in preparation for a party. Invitations set the stage for an event. They serve as the guests’ first glimpse of what is to come. So I wanted to give the guests a small taste of the event while providing them with all the details they need.
After reviewing a ton of invitations, which provided ample inspiration, I started designing the Think PINK bridal shower invitation. The bridal shower invitations took a few iterations. All the details of the invite from the font and color to the wording and design had to be spot on.
Here is the final product:
With the bridal shower invitation I enclosed a recipe card for each of the guests. My sister has been getting into cooking over the past few years; this seemed like the perfect way to build her recipe collection. Originally, I had planned to design and print custom recipe cards, however time got away from me and I ended up purchasing recipe cards online instead.
Here’s the copy for the back of the invitation {it’s kind of hard to read in the pictures}:
One small request that won’t be too hard…
Bring a Recipe
{Bride Name} & {Groom Name} will soon say, “I do.” They’ve got lots of love, but they’ll need to eat too!{Bride Name} might like to try your favorite cake, or that dish your friends always ask you to make.
So don’t forget the recipe card on this special date. Fill it in now, don’t hesitate. At the shower will be a recipe box to fill so bring this card or mail it back if you will!
All in all, I am very happy with how the invitation turned out. My sister was very pleased with the bridal shower invitation design, which was the most important thing.
. It was easiest to put the toothpick into the cone at an angle and then put the strawberry on … go slowly I definitely pricked myself a couple of times with the toothpicks.
