Baby Shower Invitations

Here is the finished product of the shower invitations I made last week. I like giving invitations in boxes. It is like getting a present. I printed the names of the the recipient on the outside and inside are the printed cards and some bright yellow Lemonheads. The back of the box has a little quote that I really like. I got some fun pictures of the assembly process below. It was like a sea of Lemonheads...

You are great! My best friend sent me a link to your blog about 2 weeks ago, and ever since, I've just been addicted! Your ideas are GREAT! Anyway, just wanted to say that I adore your stuff and pretty things! Thanks!

You come up with the best ideas. Thanks for sharing them! How fun it would be to receive one of your invitations!

emily said...

lemon heads are my favorite candy--- this is amazing and wonderful.

michelle said...

I'm so spoiled Jordan. Now you have to get knocked-up so I can repay the favor.

Jamie Meares said...

i don't mean to be the dissenting voice at all! i'm just wondering -- if they are mailed with the lemonheads, is there any worry that they'll melt and stick to the invite and get messy?

jordan said...

Lemonheads aren't very perishable... I would have no qualms about mailing this invitation. Although to save on shipping I hand delivered most of them.

Ada Chef said...

Wow. You are beyond awesome.

I love lemonheads too.

erin said...

Stunning! The lemonheads are beyond even Martha. Oh yes I said it.

marta said...

aylee said...

Anne said...

Very pretty job! :)
I would love to attend a shower like that! :) I'm sure the actual party is going to be just beautiful!

lynnly said...

So beautiful! Quick question, what does the saying on the back read? [Just in case I wanted to totally copy your amazing idea! :) ]

Jill said...

These invites are fantastic. I am so impressed!

Lindsey said...

Spectacular.

robin k said...

Absolutely gorgeous and original.

lolo said...

Okay, I'm outting myself as a reader of this blog. I don't even remember how I came across it, but I'm obsessed!

The invites are beautiful, but the real reason I'm posting is to ask who makes the yellow cardigan you posted from MS Weddings. I looked at her site and wasn't able to find anything.

Anyway, this blog is in my top 5 things I read every a.m. Thanks, Jordan!

Abbynormal said...

Those are absolutely gorgeous but you already knew that! You are amazning. Your designs inspire.

Stephanie said...

I love the lemonhead idea. What a beautiful post!

ashlynn said...

You already know that I love these - I told you how coolio you are even when you try not to be.

I did want to say that your grandma's blog is sweet! How awesome to have video's of her! Love it! Who does it?

Jenny said...

Ok, so I read every day for a bit of inspiration, but never comment, but these ... wow ... just had to say it. Wow.

Missy said...

This invites are truly amazing. I can't wait for your letterpress website to get going. Maybe you could put up pictures of past projects you have completed, like this one.

Queen Scarlett said...

Wow! who needs Martha when they can have you. How lucky to be your friend... how lucky to learn from you!

Stephanie said...

These are absolutely beautiful! I especially love the quote you put on the back. How do you come up with the amazing things you come up with?!

{I'm Rachel C.'s little sis btw. She got me addicted to your blog a few months back :D}

greengelato said...

oh my GOSH.

jaw on floor.

can you be my hero even though i don't know you?

Andrea said...

I think these are absolutely beautiful. We're throwing a baby shower for my sister in law and would love to do something similar- I read in the comments that you hand delivered most of them- but the ones you did mail, do you have any idea how they were when they arrived at the destination? Also, how would you mail something like that- did you just put an address and a return address on the front of the box and mail?

Em said...

I 2nd the request to share your box source, and also.... where did you get that many lemonheads? I'm guessing you didn't run around cleaning out grocery stores of their Lemonhead stock.....

amy said...

hands down the sweetest invitation of any kind i have ever seen - is it possible you are from another planet?

Geena said...

What great information! I absolutely love the invitations, I do not think I have ever seen any quite so nice. We do not do baby showers and stuff like that over in England, so I am glad to be here in the U.S. experiencing all that stuff. I wish you had been around for me when I did my baby shower. The only thing I did was order baby shower invitations from a company called Cards-411. They were really great quality, and arrived quickly. I do not think that they were as customized as this, but more along the traditional lines. I forget how I found them on the internet, but I was very impressed with their quality. I just did a search for baby shower invitations on google, and there are tons of companies to choose from. The one that comes up all the time is www.tinyprints.com but I do not have any experience ordering from there. ok see you later,

miff said...

jordan said...

Sure Miff.

ha said...

I love those invitations. I would like to make something similar for my wedding invitations. I am having a hard time finding those boxes. Can you tell me where you got those boxes?

Heather said...

I would LOVE to get more details on where you found the boxes and where you had everything printed!?!?! I LOVE these! Will you share your knowledge!?!?!?

:)

Thanks.
