Karina's Baby Shower

August 28, 2012

I had a blast working with Karina on the invitation for her baby shower. The hostesses called it a "feather the nest" theme. Love it!

Ten years ago today, we said "I do." But beforehand, when both of us were over wedding planning and joked about eloping, we agreed to renew our vows with Elvis in Las Vegas on our 10th anniversary. Today's the day! There will be much less fanfare, only a few people in attendance, but hopefully still fun. ♥️♥️ Our wedding program had a lot of information in it about Chinese wedding traditions for our American guests. It also included a custom crossword puzzle and sudoku puzzles. It contained way more than was really necessary, but I was on a roll! My wedding was a mashup of different cultural traditions. We had an American wedding ceremony followed by a Chinese tea ceremony. Then we had a traditional 10-course Chinese banquet for our reception. These favors sat at each place setting; half-pint takeout boxes adorned with this custom label and filled with fortune cookies. We even wrote the fortunes! The very first wedding invitation I designed was my own wedding invitation, ten years ago. We needed to include a panel in Chinese, so we cut and scored what felt like a whole ream of card stock to made two-paneled pocketfolds. Would I do it differently today? A couple of little things, yes. I'd definitely make it less wordy! But I still love the colors and the patterned paper that I made from a scanned piece of brocaded silk. . . Friday is our 10th anniversary. We're celebrating with a vow renewal in Las Vegas. And yes, Elvis will be there. I'll share the invitation I created for the occasion later this week. For now, I'm digging through ten-year-old photos and reminiscing. I created this fun Halloween cootie catcher, and my 7yo was more than happy to show me how to play... because he thought I probably forgot since "2nd grade was a very long time ago for you." Say what?! . . Visit mamasaywhat.com and click on the pinned post to download and print this fun activity. Then YOU can show your kids how it's done. Folding instructions are included. Happy anniversary to Ellen and Mark! They used my own 2-paneled, pocketfold, wedding invitation as inspiration for theirs. Plus theirs had a bunch of fun inserts. I hope the last five years have been good to you! I had so much fun creating this vintage circus invitation for Jaxon's first birthday. Come one, come all! Amely and Ben celebrated their 2nd anniversary a couple of weeks ago. There were so many fun printed signs at their wedding, and they were so much fun to create. Their scroll invitation was just the beginning. You can see more on my website: alextebow.com/blog
