Townley’s Baby Shower!

Townley’s Baby Shower!

This June I had the honor of hosting the sweetest baby shower for my sister, Townley! Guys, I CANNOT wait to be an aunt. This feels so surreal, and I am drinking up every moment. So many of our clients have had the joy of working with Townley throughout the years as she is a machine behind the scenes at White Ink Calligraphy! She is the heart and soul of our stationary department. Townley continuously dedicates her time assisting our clients with graphic designing and printing services. Whether our couples want a custom wedding invitation suite or one-of-a-kind cocktail napkins, Townley makes it happen! So, now it’s time to celebrate Townley as she glides effortlessly into the beauty of a new role- mother. Enjoy this little peek inside what was an incredibly happy day for us all.

LOVE the invites that we sent out for Townley’s shower. It’s no surprise to anyone that I have always been huge fan of florals on invitations. The flowers bordering the event details are so beautiful and create the most delicate frame. We also really loved using this muted green for the envelopes.

The welcome sign was a true joy to create! The pressed florals between the glass resembles the florals from the invites and the lettering takes on the same muted green from the invitation envelopes. I love when small details connect like this!

For the mamas out there who experienced pregnancy, did you ever have any food cravings? Townley definitely did….she craved mocktails! That has been her number one food craving throughout her pregnancy. So, naturally, we set up a mocktail bar so she could mocktail to her heart’s content. I especially loved the little onesie, paci, and bottle stirrers!

Friends and family surrounded Townley and showed so much support. We were so excited to celebrate baby Goldberg!

It was so fun having everyone fill out these personal message cards for baby Goldberg. There was so much love shared through these sweet notes! – I hope that you love – I hope you always- I hope you never forget – I hope you learn – I hope you get your mama’s – I hope you get your dad’s – I hope you become –

I am so lucky to have a local urban farm right in my neighborhood! Joy House Blooms supplied us with the most GORGEOUS selection of flowers which we used to create a “floral bar”. Guests were encouraged to make their own arrangements that they could take back home with them using this amazing selection of flowers!

The place cards used to identify the flowers looked so good here! The colors, the place cards, the flowers, the mason jars- it’s all just perfection!

Our dogs definitely tried to steal the spotlight during the gift opening. They’re the cutest little attention stealers though aren’t they?

This will be a day I will always cherish. My sister is like my right hand. White Ink wouldn’t be what it is today without her diligence and dedication. But making me an aunt is the best gift by far! I can’t wait to meet baby Goldberg.

Florals on Invitation Suites- Why they work.

Florals on Invitation Suites- Why they work.

Wedding invitations are one of the first things couples put together while planning their wedding. Invites are a powerful piece to an event because it’s the first time guests get to have a little taste of what’s to come. Invites are a wedding’s first impression! As one can imagine, the task of picking the right one can sometimes seem impossible. This is where we come in! White Ink is equipped with the right tools and the right experience to customize our couple’s invitations suites to fit like a glove. And we want to bring you in on a little invitation detail that never disappoints- Florals! Here’s why we think florals on invitation suites can make a wedding blossom.

Florals are Timeless.

Trust me, no matter the season, location, year, or decade, floral prints remain the powerhouse of prints that never go out of style. The beauty of the flower is something that people have always understood making this an ageless detail forever standing the test of time.

Florals are Seasonally Appropriate.

From winter weddings to springtime nuptials, there are florals for every season. I love when couples choose to add in seasonal floral details to match the season of their wedding day. It’s a clever thought and especially meaningful.

Florals on Invites Tie Together Wedding Day Florals.

This is a wedding detail that can truly come full circle. Many times, couples will use their invitation suites as an opportunity to showcase the very flowers that will adorn the venue on their big day. This type of attention to detail has an undeniable wow factor.

Florals Can Have a Personal Touch.

Add a personal touch to an invitation suite by using a print of florals from the region you grew up in or flowers from the spot where you got engaged. There have been numerous White Ink couples that have chosen floral prints for their invites that are symbolic to them in very personal ways. It’s always so touching when we get to be a part of those particularly special details.

Florals Are Versatile.

This is probably my favorite part about floral prints. Whether our couples’ styles are traditional, contemporary, minimal or upscale, there is a floral print that goes with it! Make a bold statement with a big pop of florals on your invitation suite or delicately elevate your invite with a branch of evergreen. With an endless variety of floral prints that can be created, you cannot go wrong, I promise.

I truly enjoy helping our White Ink couples customize invitation suites like these. Remember, when it comes to your wedding, you are the one with the vision; and want to help it come true! If you are thinking of including florals on your wedding invites, I think we’ve got a couple of ideas up our sleeve! We can’t wait to connect with you.
