Time to "shower" them with love!!

It has been a busy week at the Ireland household--Jessica went to double digits!!! Yep--the big 10!!! That is why it has been a little quiet over

 here. But, I am back with some ideas for the newly engaged or for the baby on the way!!!  First, lets start with the bride-to-be. Here are some simple but elegant invitations and thank yous. They are mostly done in white, with the wedding color as an accent. But--can always be changed to whatever the bride and groom would like.


                                         

Here is the inside ---with all the space for the information needed on the right. I will usually try and put a little something on the inside left to decorate it a bit. here I have part of Corinthians 13--my personal favorite--or it can just be left blank.

Here is a close up of  the front of the invitation, with the ribbon matching the wedding colors, and double heart charm. I can try and match wedding colors as close as possible, but it is always good to have a lighter or darker shade in mind, just in case.                                                       

Baby on the way??? Same idea with the invitations and thank you for the baby shower. Can be done in pink,blue, or a neutral color (for those who want to be surprised)

                                

Here is a great shower favor--a small wooden box with a shadow box top where I can put some quilled flowers to
match the wedding colors . The box is about 2 3/4 square and about 2" high.

     Here is a close up of the flower itself--it is a nice purple shade--with a purple paper background. 

 

 

Well, those are just a few of the invitation and thank you ideas I have. Can really make any colors work, but as always please be sure to allow enough time for them to be made before you have to mail them. Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my fun projects--pass the word to anyone you may know who made need a little something done for them. I will always try to help!!!
