WINE WEEKEND Bachelorette Party Invitation

Isn't this a cute concept?! I want to go on a wine weekend with my girlfriends....

I had a lot of fun working on this one. I love that it is very graphic...almost even poster-like.

I have now added this design and a few other color options to my NealonDesign etsy store!

Watercolor Party Hat BIRTHDAY Invitation

I am really pleased with how this first birthday party invitation turned out. I used a watercolor pattern within the hat to soften the look and add texture. The polkadot background has a soft white "grunge" overlay to soften that look as well. Not all parties need a big theme and this invitation is youthful and elegant. Of course it is easy to modify for celebrations other than the first year.

This comes as a 4x6 and a 5x7. The actual invitation for my client is double-sided with additional party information on the back. It is a very nice touch for not a lot of extra $. (All pricing based on size & quantity shown on far right column of blog.) However, there is a minimum order of 25 for the double-sided design and there must be at least 2 weeks for production. Single sided invitations only require one week total turnaround.

Colored envelopes are available in the A7 size for 5x7 designs only. Recommended colors to match this design are pink lemonade, bubblegum, and grapesicle. The upgrade cost for colored envelopes is $.20 each. Return address printing is only recommended on white and is $.20 per envelope.

I am happy to whip up thank you cards, cupcake toppers, stickers, etc. etc. at your request without any additional design fee.

Purim

I learned something new during a recent custom design!

Today, February 23 is Purim.

The festival of Purim is celebrated every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar (late winter/early spring). It commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman’s plot “to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day."

On Purim we emphasize the importance of Jewish unity and friendship by sending gifts of food to friends.

In the spirit of the holiday, my client put together winter/ski themed gift baskets to present to their family friends. She wanted a customized card to include with the baskets, specifically making some of the letters of their names with skiing icons.

The back of the card uses pictures of the boys skiing and includes a cute instructional piece about the gift.

Little SUNSHINE Birthday Invitation

I must admit that I was very excited to work on this project. To this day, my dad calls me "Shiner", short for sunshine.

This lucky little girl even came into this work with "Here Comes the Sun" playing in the operating room! There isn't a "theme" to her party other than YELLOW, and sunshines of course. With that in mind, I focused on the color and used rays in the background. It was very convenient that Caroline has an "o" near the center of her name. I think this design concept would also work well off the dot of an "i", in an "e", "a" or many other letters too. Don't feel like it won't work for you because of the letters in the name. I'll figure something out!

The wording is very customizable... It would be adorable to include the wording to one of hundreds of songs that use the word "sunshine". This was designed as a first birthday invitation, but it could easily work for a sunshine of any age!

Banners are now available too. Banners with small pennants (approx. 5x8) are $2.00 each. Large pennants (8x10) are $3.50 each. New MINI Pennants are 3.75x5 for $1.50 each!

EMAIL me to order, or with questions. This shaped, 5x7 design is the same price as my normal rounded or straight-cornered 5x7 designs.

Baby SHOWER

I love working on shower invitations. Sometimes they come quickly, other times...not so much. For whatever reason, this was one that took me longer than usual, but I'm thrilled with the final outcome.

This traditional "shower" theme is used with bright, gender neutral, colors. It is shown as a 5x7, but is also available as a 4x6. Return address printing is available for $.12 each. This design would also look adorable with colored envelopes...so many color options to choose from!! Thank you cards, stickers, cupcake toppers, banners, water bottle labels, etc. are also available.

Pricing is by size and quantity, listed on the right of the blog.

I also developed gender specific versions of this design using pinks/corals for the girls and blues/greens for boys. I am open to suggestions for color and wording changes at your request.

Please EMAIL ME to order or if you have additional questions. Please be sure to include the size you prefer (4x6 or 5x7) and if you want the girl or boy version (default is neutral).

Springy Yellow/Gray Wedding SHOWER

This is a great variation of the "stems" shower design that is already available using the modern yellow and gray color scheme with a graphic daisy motif with a subtle linen background texture.

Text and colors are adjustable.

Available in a 5x7 or a 4x6 (colored envelopes only available in the 5x7 size).

Email me with questions or to order. Pricing is based on size and quantity and is listed on the far right of the blog.

LEGO STAR WARS Birthday Invitation Ticket

I have a wonderful 4 year old little guy, but I must have been living under a rock because I just saw my first animated Star Wars Legos cartoon this morning. :)

I'm really pleased with how these birthday "tickets" turned out. The ticket style can somes get really overcrowded and busy, so I tried to keep the information and image organized and easy to read.

These come in the "monarch" size (3.5x7.25). Pricing is based on quantity and it is listed first on the right side of the blog. I am happy to create coordinating return address printing on the back flap, thank you cards, stickers, etc., etc. Just let me know what you have in mind.

TRENDY (Modern) Mickey & Minnie Birthday

Not everyone wants cutsie, character birthday invitations for their little ones...even if they adore Mickey & Minnie.

I love this modern, clean, simple, unisex design. It was originally designed for 2 kiddos: a boy and a girl and this is the modified version for one kid. Just ask if you would like to see the twins design or a version for kids of different ages. Of course the envelope return address design adjustable as well. 

This invitation is available as a 4x6 or a 5x7. I am happy to adjust colors and wording at your request.

Here is a sample of a flat thank you card. Fold-over thank you cards, stickers, banners, label wraps, and cupcake wrappers are also available.

Email me with questions or to order. Pricing is available for 4x6 and 5x7 designs based on quantity at the far right side of the blog.
