Lauren Covington blush bridal shower calligraphy champagne charm & fig custom dinner party envelope envelope liner gold hand-letter invitation invite modern paper wedding paper wedding shower

These lovelies couldn't go in the mail without a floral envelope liner -- always a winner in our book.For...

Little boy birthday party -- what a nice change of pace! I was thrilled when Parker's mom commissioned me to create his woodland wonderland birthday party invitations. I got lost in researching all the woodland animals, but we finally settled on the cheerful owl and the friendly fox. The best part of this project?
