Bow Tie Birth Announcements

Bow Tie Birth Announcements by Palm Papers

I have a real soft spot for cute birth announcements, not to mention the soft spot that I have for cute babies, and these custom announcements by Palm Papers are absolutely precious. Little Ryder is pretty darn adorable, too!

Lauren from Palm Papers shares:

Nothing is more fun than giving the gift of design. I am at that stage in life where there is a baby boom happening among our friends and family. We have lots of friends welcoming their first child (and sometimes second), and my favorite thing to do for them is to design their birth announcements. This little cutie, Ryder, is the first son of some good friends of ours from Denver, and he made my job easy, quite frankly. That little face steals the show, but I balanced the sweet black and white photo with an adorable little bow tie, fun stripes, and a mustard and grey color palette. I loved how they turned out and so did his proud parents. Gift giving success!

George’s Playfully Boyish Baby Announcements

Playfully Boyish Letterpress Baby Announcements

Graphic designer, Kathryn Holeman, undoubtedly had a bunch of fun designing these custom baby announcements for the newest little addition to her family. Kathryn pulled out all the stops for this special occasion – letterpress printing, envelope liners, custom address labels, the works!

These charmingly boyish birth announcements, printed on 140# smooth, bright white acid free paper in midnight blue and light cyan, feature a heroic menagerie of boy favorites that spell out G-E-O-R-G-E. Included in the masculine lineup are superheroes, wizards, cowboys, soccer players, pirates, and knights.

John Deere Tractor Inspired Birthday Invites

John Deere Green and Yellow Birthday Invitations

Rebekah from Wild Ink Press created these custom, tractor-themed letterpress birthday invitations for her son Cameron, who just turned three. As Rebekah says, “if it has wheels and an engine, Cameron probably loves it,” so I’m sure he was as over the moon about his tractor-themed party as I am about these John Deere green and yellow invitations. The 3.5″ x 5″ invites were printed onto 100% recycled stock, and they were mailed in kraft (paper bag) envelopes. What perfect invitations for a tractor-loving little guy!

Psst … if you love these invitations, then you’ll want to check in during the upcoming weeks at Wild Ink Press’ shop, where a fill-in version of these invitations, as well as cute sailboat and train invites, will be available soon.
