When my lovely client asked me to design shower invitations for a baby girl, I was thrilled. Then she told me the theme: “Princess Tea Party.” Yes, I was like a little kid on Christmas. My goal was to create a design that was soft, elegant and celebratory of all things baby girl, but not childish. About 150 photoshop layers later, the design was complete. A mix of typography, vintage tea cups, crowns and castles make this design fit for the lil’ princess to be.
Thank you Alex and congratulations to Deanna and Jeremy!

Every year, my fabulous friend and client hosts a lovely “Dear Friends” holiday party. Creating the invitations for the event is always a treat, as Lisa and I could not have a more similar taste for design. This year, the invitations were printed on 110 lb. Crane lettra and paired with a dark grey, metallic envelope. As you will see, the design is perfectly suited for the event setting….Lisa’s divine, vintage-chic cottage home.
Also created for the party were signs labeling all of the yummy food…
And so I MUST share a few photos of Lisa’s swoon worthy, make you want to melt home. Every nook and cranny is filled with unique treasures styled in a way that only Lisa knows how. It is a sight to be seen. And then dream about later.
A few (of many) perfectly placed focal points in the living room
The details just go on forever…even in the kitchen.
And to top it off, there is an adorable chicken coup in the backyard. Need I say more?
Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you so much for stopping by.

This new invitation is quite special…being that it was designed for my amazing grandparents in celebration of their 60th wedding anniversary. SIXTY YEARS! The invitation ensemble was elegant, clean and classy with a black and metallic silver color palette. Perfect for the huge party that was filled with family and friends a few weeks ago in Fort Worth.
My grandparents are my heart. My soul. And I am so inspired by their amazing marriage. Thank you and congratulations G&G!

Brand new baby shower invitation, designed with sweet Southern love. I am totally smitten by this design as the grey and yellow color palette, fonts and graphics are gorgeous mix of modern, rustic and vintage styles. It just feels warm and comfy. I totally envision mason jars, picnic tables and gingham patterned linens paired with the food tent signs created to match the invite. Thank you Miranda for the opportunity to design such adorable pieces for the event and CONGRATS to Mommy to-be Leslie!

This kitchen shower ensemble has to be one of my most favorite designs yet! Hostess Julie started by giving me the brides color palette, which included about 6-7 very bright and bold colors. I proceeded to probe for more details (as I sometimes do…) and was informed that the bride is the “artsy-whimsy” type. My kinda gal! I knew exactly what do.
The invitation was mailed to guests with a recipe card for them to write down their favorite dish and bring to the shower for the bride. The day of paper goods included a custom coffee menu, “Recipe for a Good Marriage” advice cards and tags for the cookie mix filled mason jar favors. So precious. Thank you Julie and congrats to the bride!

I love a great theme and this one says it all! I drew my inspiration from vintage playing cards and used a combo of Vegas and Broadway style fonts to give the invitation a true “night out on the town” feeling. Just like a real playing card, each invitation and “Sweet Nothings” card is double sided and has rounded corners. This invitation is absolutely one of my most favorite projects to date. Thank you hostess Meghan and congrats to the lucky bride!

When Emily of A Well Dressed Home asked me to design the baby shower invitations for her friend Tessa, also an interior designer, I was super excited….and knew it had to be extra special!
Emily provided me with one of her amazing online design boards of the nursery (how bout’ that for inspiration?!) and I created the invitation to match. I took full advantage of the awesome grey and yellow color scheme and then also designed a graphic pattern to match her fabric for the wrap around address labels. So fun, fresh and modern. What a lucky lil guy to have such an incredible nursery!
Thank you so much Emily and Tessa for the opportunity and incredible inspiration!

Working with Lisa on all of her wedding paper goods was such a delight. We stayed true to her classic and elegant style throughout …with one exception: the rehearsal dinner invitation, where I was given free reign to create something fun and a little untraditional for the event. With the American Airlines Center, the Dallas Mavericks and sports lovers Lisa and Joe in mind, I was able to create something fun, fresh and modern for the event. LOVE it and thank you Lisa! You’re the best!

LOVE this bridal shower invitation. LOVE it. I had the pleasure of designing Ashley and Louis’s save the date invitation in December and then Ashley’s sister of Laura Elyse Photography was so sweet to think of me to design paper goods for the bridal soiree taking place in Philadelphia this month. With romantic, feminine and vintage design through and through, this invitation and thank you card duo is making my heart melt.
A HUGE thank you to Laura for so graciously sharing some of her amazing images from the shower . You definitely want to check out more of gorgeously unique work at Laura Elyse Photography!

I love this new design! Created for mommy to-be Stephany, who has chosen an amazing assortment of textiles in blues and browns for the baby nursery. I used her fabrics as the inspiration for the invitation and of course, went to town with the bird pattern! Three layers make up the invite with the top being a die cut birdcage, the middle a layer of vellum and the last the actual invitation. Each piece is held together by natural colored jute twine. Paired with the invitation is her registry card, which I printed and then die cut into a bird shape. SO adorable! Thank you hostess Kelly and congratulations Stephany!

It took everything in me to not name this blog post “I Got 5 On It.” Okay, there. I said it.
This day has been long and I figured ending it by sharing a new baby boy shower invitation that is simply adorable would be perfect.
An extra special design for an extra special couple expecting a new addition to the family here soon! Considering the lil’ loved one will be the 5th generation Joseph P. Burchfield, could a “5″ themed shower be any more fitting? A great mix of typography and the dye cut number five’s for the registry info steal the show on this one. Congratulations over and over Meggan and Jay!!

How much fun is this?? I love vintage circus/carnival typography and graphics so when asked to create a baby shower invitation with this theme, I was thrilled. Oh the possibilities! We wanted the invitation to be “baby shower appropriate” but still chic with an authentic, vintage feel. I referred to some historical circus posters and advertisements for inspiration and the final product came out simply adorable. Thank you Miranda and congratulations Mommy-to-be Eleanor!

Friend and client Lisa is full of great ideas and shares my healthy obsession for all things Anthroplogie so I was super excited when she asked me to create a “Deer Friends” invitation for her holiday get together. She provided me with an adorable poem for the card and told me “to do my thing.” Love it.
To reinforce the theme and add a touch of personalization, I put a line at the top for Lisa to write the name of each guest. The calligraphy reindeer graphic, tape and stitching designs and other vintage elements make this invitation so Lisa…and oh so unique.

I had such a blast working with Crosstex Energy on their corporate holiday party invitations. Being that the event is taking place at the Frontiers of Flight Museum, they wanted a festive design that incorporated an airplane while also displaying their company logo. I got a little carried away (told you I had fun) and created a number of options for the picking. The team selected my favorite design, with the vintage Santa in the plane and snowflake background. Perfect for the occasion.
