Rock-n-Roll Wedding Shower

This is actually a modified baby shower invitation design that is now fit for a wedding shower. I think it turned out really cute and the colors are completely customizable. It can also be altered to be a "Rock Around the Clock" shower with "times" (bath time, dinner time, bed time, etc) written in the clock.

OWL — Look whoooo's turning ONE!


I've seen this theme for a birthday several places and think it is super cute. Owls are very popular now and it is a lot of fun to change out the colors (completely customizable)! This 4x6 or 5x7 birthday invitation highlights a photo between two branches with bright green leaves. The leaf is even carried into the name and used as an apostrophe!

A full price list is available to the right or email me if you are viewing this from your phone and I'll send it to you!

I've also included a sample of the boy version of the same invitation...super cute. You must provide a high resolution image that is horizontal.

LUAU — Birthday Invitation

First birthdays tend to be big celebrations....for the parents as much as for the child....you survived the first year! A luau is a fantastic party theme that has tons of easy-to-purchase decorations and fun bright colors. (If your child is not turning one, it is easy to change out the number!)

I recently created another version of this popular design. When ordering please specify your design preference (with our without the surfboard).
I am also happy to work up coordinating thank you cards, stickers, banners, etc. with no additional design fee.

I just added this design to my NealonDesign Etsy store. You can easily purchase the digital file or printed invitations through THIS LINK. The return address printing and colored envelopes are not listed in the drop-down menu, but I am happy to set up a custom listing just for you if you would like those "extras".

If you have any other questions, please EMAIL ME!

NAUTICAL Wedding Suite

This wedding invitation suite turned out beautifully.

The bride and groom are actually getting married on a tall ship, so the theme is perfect.
I used the anchor on each piece using a different icon within the wheel. The groom wanted a skull and cross bones (or swords) on the rsvp card, so this was a great way to include it and still fit within the clean lines and elegant feel of a formal invitation. The invitation itself uses a monogram I created for the couple. The "additional information" card highlights the date of the event and the "fun continues" card features a silhouette of a grill.

The navy and "sour apple" or lime green of this suite really pops! She opted for the brightly colored envelopes which is so fun because it is as if the recipient is even getting a little gift in the mail when the invitation arrives! The same is true for the bride and groom as they get their response cards back in the mail!

If you are interested in this suite, please know that the colors are completely customizable, as are the inserts and wording. The cost of these invitations has many variables, but I am happy to provide a quote to you based on the specifics of your suite.

EMAIL ME to order or with questions.

Margaritas & Monograms — Bridal Shower

This is the "sister" design to the original Mimosas & Monograms invitation that I designed. I've provided several alternate background color options, but please do not feel limited to these. I'm happy to coordinate with wedding colors or the brides favorite colors!

The invitations are available in a 4x6 or 5x7 and the optional inserts are $.45 each. Full pricing is available on the far right of the blog or I can send it to you in an email if you are viewing only on your mobile device.

EMAIL ME to order or if you have questions.

007 Fundraiser Invitation

I was asked to work on this special project by a client I did a birthday invitation for last year.

She needed invitations for a preschool fundraiser with a 007, spy theme. The "mission" was raising money for the school. The event was this past weekend and I hear it was a big success! I can only hope that the fun invitations helped stir some excitement.

The 007 spy theme was executed on the invitations as well as the event program (not pictured). I used iconical silhouettes and rich looking gold banners with the classic spy colors of red and black.

It was challenging and a lot of fun!

rul9 — LOGO design

I'm really excited about the selected logo design for this upcoming dance apparel line.

The target market is youth 15-25 years old — hip-hop, urban. They wanted clean lines, a bit on the edgy side. It needed to be clean and easy to read, especially because it will be used on clothing labels.

The rul9 website is in the works, but will add a link when it is ready to go!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — Birthday Invitation

I must have been living under a rock for a few months because I didn't realize the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were back and better than ever. See, when I think "TMNT" I immediately flash back to third grade when the original movie and song came out. Fun times in the late 80s!

Coordinating with these modern turtles, I wanted a fun design with a graphic punch. Their signature colors and masks are a big part of what makes each character unique, so I highlighted and focused on that fact....throwing in the sewer cover, too.

If you like to include a photo of your child on birthday invitations, why not make him the 5th turtle?! Get a mask, snap a picture and I'll add him right in there with the big guys! (example shown at the bottom of the sample)

This is available in the monarch size and I have super cute coordinating address stickers or favor stickers. I am happy to whip up thank you cards, banners, etc. Just let me know!

Email me to order or with questions. Pricing is on the far right or shoot me an email and I'll send you a price list.

She Said YES — Bridal Shower or Engagement Party

This typographic invitation is fun and to the point. Customize the design to coordinate with your wedding colors at no additional charge.

The invitation is currently designed for a bridal shower, or bridal brunch actually. However, with a few modifications I think it would also make an adorable engagement party invitation.

It is available as a 5x7 or a 4x6. The 5x7 is also available in the fancy shape at no additional charge. Just let me know when you order which size and format you prefer.

Pricing is available on the far right side of the blog (when viewing the web version).

EMAIL ME with questions, to order, or if you'd like me to send you the price list (because you are on your phone and can't see it!)

Travel Bridal Shower Invitation

The bride and groom are having a destination wedding, so their friends and family wanted to host a "travel themed" bridal shower, complete with luggage tags as favors.

This was the selected invitation design. It highlights colorful passport-style stamps from a variety of countries against a distressed paper background. The date and time of the shower are highlighted in an enlarged, black stamp. The typeface is appropriately reminiscent of old typewriters.

I have recently added this design to my NealonDesign ETSY store! Click HERE to order from Etsy!

There are now flat and fold-over thank you cards for purchase as well as a few shower games available as INSTANT DOWNLOADS for immediate delivery.

HE SAID, SHE SAID


BINGO - a pdf with 26 pages in included. You get 50 unique cards and 2 blank, fillable cards.

With a few modifications, I think this style would make an awesome change of address postcard, especially for someone moving overseas. Just let me know if you are interested and I'll work up something spectacular!

Please EMAIL ME if you have questions about this design.

Pure Bark — LOGO design


If you haven't noticed, most dog treats have pretty obnoxious packaging...sorry, just being honest.

I collaborated with the Pure Bark owner and founder to create a logo with clean lines and a strong graphic statement. I'm really pleased with the final product and product labels are now in the works.

The website just launched and is still in the works. purebarkjerky.com

Quack, Moo, Cock-a-doodle-Doo — Birthday Invitation

I have truly wonderful friends, and I love when I am sought out to design a special invitation for their kiddo.

This design was a collaborative effort and turned out super cute. I have thank you cards & other pieces to match that I need to add as well. It comes in a 4x6 or a 5x7. (Colored envelopes are only available for 5x7.) My friend intends to use red gingham fabric in the party decor, so the invitation will coordinate perfectly!

Feel free to customize the coloring and I even have a few other animals if there is a particular one you have in mind. I am also happy to adjust the wording if you can come up with something rhyming for a birthday other than two! For a 3rd birthday, I just used "Oink, Quack, Moo, Neigh It's Noah's 3rd Birthday".

I DO BBQ — Rehearsal Dinner invitation

These shabby-chic rehearsal dinner invitations turned out really cute. The "A" design uses poem wording inviting guests to both the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner and includes addresses to both places at the bottom of the invitation. The "B" design uses the same background as my western baby shower invitation and has altered poem wording to invite guests to the dinner only.

Please specify the color scheme you prefer and the wording choice when ordering.

If you are not in Texas and would like to have an alternate icon at the top of the invitation, please let me know. I can use boots, a horse, etc. Just let me know what you have in mind.

EMAIL ME to order of with questions.
