Party Recipe: Book Baby Shower Invites

I’m pleased with how the baby shower invites turned out last weekend. Perfect for my librarian cousin who prefers things less frilly.

I used A2 gravel note cards and white enclosure envelopes that were on sale. The black text was printed on Gocco (note, you have to cut down the cards just a bit to make them work). Each card was personalized using type stamps and green ink pad. I wrote a personal note inside with more details of the party.

If you want the Photoshop template for the library-inspired invitation, just email me and I’ll be happy to send it along.

I work in a library also, and this is a great idea for any party for a bibliophile! Thanks for sharing.

I got the cutest baby onesie at Giant Robot in the Haight. It says "Future Librarian" on it. I can't find it online but this is the adult version. Would be adorable with your theme.

My sister is throwing me a baby shower and used your library invites and I absolutely love them! Our nursery theme is "classic children's books" so this was perfect for me. Thanks for letting her use the template! I'll be posting a picture of them on my blog soon and I'll be sure to give you credit for them.
