I am very happy with the way these baby shower invitations turned out. My client wanted a nautical theme, but nothing cheesy and overdone with light blues, yellow and white. I found a little poem online that mentions sailboats and baby boys and I thought it was perfect as a header. I added a pewter gray to the color scheme and created a little sailboat using several different patterns in the sails. I also used the same colors to make a preppy, yet youthful plaid for the background.
These hostesses are very thoughtful and even ordered the mom-to-be coordinating thank you cards. We kept cost down by using a flat card (instead of a fold-over) and if there are extras, they could be used for other occasions as well.
(update 9.1.11)
I recently revised this design for a baby girl. It turned out too cute not to share. I can adjust the colors as needed to fit with your desired theme. I hope you like it too! (Please click on it to enlarge.)
As a bonus, if this new mom would like to use this same concept for baby announcements through Nealon Design, there is no additional design fee and she will still get a handful of custom designs to choose from!! This applies to any client looking for supplemental, coordinating pieces.

Love the invites.....trying to contact you through email. Hope to hear from you soon. Linda Whitmire
