:: Wedding Inspiration – Invitations ::

As you have all probably realised by now, I am a huge stationery nerd. I am so excited to be at the invitation planning stage of our wedding. I want to make the most perfect invitations, so that when our guests receive them they think, “Oh, that is so them.” A lot of people have said they are looking forward to our invitations because they know how much I love stationery … way to add serious pressure, guys!

I have been scouring the Internet for ideas and inspiration. There are so many lovely invitations out there, it’s hard to figure out what to do! I have also been scouring lovely paper stores and have bought home some delicious papers to make mock invitations with.

The green material is the base colour for my bridesmaids. Their dresses will have an overlay of a much lighter green to tie in with the floaty feel of the wedding.



Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? All you married ladies out there, what did your invitations look like?
In other news, my younger sister has had her baby! She had a little boy called Hugo and he is the most darling thing I have ever seen. He has a full head of dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and olive skin. He was 7 pounds 12, and 50cm long. He is seriously adorable. My sister's not into photos being put on the Internet, otherwise I'd spam my blog with photos of him!


I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

:: Baby Shower ::

Last Sunday was my younger sister's baby shower. It's hard to believe that in about 5 weeks time my sister will be a mother and I will be an Aunty. The Baby Shower had a jungle animal theme, so we had elephant cupcakes (among mountains of other delicious food) and the most adorable animal carousel as a table centrepiece. We played some fun games like captioning pregnancy based comics, guessing baby animal names, and guessing the baby's name, weight, length and due date.
Gluten free elephant cupcakes!

Look at her huge tummy!

My sister and her boyfriend still can't decide on a name for their little boy. Any suggestions are definitely welcome!
