A Bridal Shower Part Two - Make It Special!

Part of my attempt at making the bridal shower special for my NEW Sister-in-law, was to make sure her invitations were beautiful and classic, and to make her guest and family feel special. The bride was using a black and white theme in part of her home so I thought that it would be fun to incorporate that into the invitation. I also wanted to incorporate the bride's wedding color, Pool Blue as an accent. The invitations are made of up two quality papers and tied together with a ribbon which gives the invitations a special handmade touch. The envelopes are printed using a font which matches the invitation.

I also wanted to give a gift that was would become somewhat of a family heirloom and also something that the whole family could participate in. My brother mentioned that his bride wanted an apron and that he wanted to send one as a surprise gift to the shower. It hit me that a custom cookbook would be perfect to accompany his gift of the apron (not to mention we had gotten them a grill as part of their wedding present :)
Many friends and family members contributed all types of recipes which I compiled into a small spiral bound book. To make the book extra special, the design is custom and thecontributors are listed.




Have a custom gift in mind? Let me help you make your next gift or invitation extra special.
I can also have books made in bookstore quality with hardcovers and jackets if desired.
