The Ladies Activity Club summer cooking series continued last night…
To Do: Shower Invitations
I’m happy with the way my shower invitations turned out last night. Random weeknight craft projects are fun!
I made the design using a stock illustration of the San Francisco skyline and a Futura font for the text. Then printed it in black and white, made a photocopy on the old carbon machine they thankfully still have at Safeway and created a Gocco screen. The final result was ten invitations and a bunch of extra materials that I can use for placecards and a menu card.
I liked the design so much that I covered the red lettering and ran an extra six to serve as notecards. I’m going to offer them to my friend Nicole to use as moving announcements.

Great idea and fabulous shade of green. Love gocco!
pretty! just wondering..did you send save the dates?? if you did, how’d u make those??
I used Pingg to send an electronic save-the-date for the shower last month.
For my own wedding save-the-dates, I had them letterpressed.
great job!
What size of cards are these printed on? I have trouble printin on my Gocco anything larger than 3×5. After that, the edges don’t get “picked up” on the screen. Have you ever had this problem?
Anyone know if you can still buy a Gocco. There seems to be a wait at many places… Emily, where did you get yours?
I bought mine from a private seller. PaperSource has them with a wait.
Super cute shower invitations. I have no idea what gocco is but, I’ll be googling to figure it out.
Very cool! Love the invitations!
