let's get mauied

One year ago I designed a wedding suite for a friend, Becky, who got married in Maui. Yes, Maui :) Could you imagine how awesome it would be to go to Hawaii to vacation all while marrying your best friend while you were there? Pretty awesome if you ask me. In celebration of her one year anniversary, I am FINALLY posting her wedding materials. We covered it all from invitations, stickers, huggers, programs, weekend agendas, cups and more. Her colors were coral, turquoise and ivory. And the native Hawaiian pineapple was themed around her wedding, which she also gave to guests as they arrived in Maui for the week! (Not sure why some of my files are saving white, but you get the picture, hopefully!) It was such a great design experience to work with Becky and I am very honored to post these materials today.

Happy Anniversary Becky and Matt!

orange and turquoise

Orange and turquoise. I love, love these two colors together for any invitation. I have seen these colors all over the place this summer, especially in home decor accents!

clowning around

I just love this series of Circus and Clown Invitations :)

The colors make me so happy! And although I've never been the biggest fan of clowns in real life (when you are little, clowns are either AWESOME or they're NOT), this little clown makes me want to get in line and wait for the best balloon tiara a girl could ask for :)

I don't know about you, but I don't think I have played the game, Badminton, since I was a young lady in the 80's with tight-rolled jeans and curled bangs held up with extra-strength hairspray. Lovely image, I know. I've played lots of tennis (me = horrible at tennis) since then, but no badminton.

I was so excited to design a badminton tournament invitation recently!

What a great group of parents that got together and brainstormed a fun, graduation party, but with some flare! And what better than a tournament... because whether we admit it or not, we all like a little friendly competition now and then!

It's all in the details when it comes to parties and designs. The tournament was being hosted on a crisp green lawn overlooking Mobile Bay. The invitation was printed with a racquet pattern background and an abstract shuttlecock displaying the graduates school colors. And everyone invited to the fabulous party was asked to wear white attire! I don't know about you, but I get so excited for any party that asks to provide a particular attire, especially when it's not Halloween.

I'm sure these special guest of honors had a blast celebrating while striking a feathered shuttle over a net! I wonder who won?

What a fun surprise Jessica received from her sister, Jennifer, the week of her wedding. 

Jennifer emailed me explaining that her sister had really wanted to order maps from Rice Designs, so as a wedding gift she wanted to surprise Jessica with a personalized map of her wedding weekend. Not only for a keepsake, but also to give to guests arriving in town for the ceremony.

What a kind and generous gift to give. Sweet sisters :)

and we're off...

to the beach! Great friends in town with their kiddos to visit! Lots of fun in the sun this weekend for our crew. Hope you all have an extra fabulous weekend ahead of you!

a place to call home

A sweet friend of mine sent me a photo of their new home and asked that I create a Moving Card to send her new address to family and friends. How cozy does her new address look? Congratulations to the Mourons on your new place to call home :)
