Mermaid Under the Sea Birthday Party at the Carlsbad Lagoon, San Diego

On August 30th we celebrated my baby girl's First Birthday at the Carlsbad Lagoon, with a Mermaid themed party. We went to the Lagoon earlier this year for another birthday party, and when we saw the location, and the large deck that you get to rent for parties, we knew that this would be the best spot for Zoey's party. We had such a great time out there and how perfect is it to have a Mermaid party at a Lagoon. I really wanted to get a mermaid that would swim out of the water....but my husband vetoed that idea....I guess that would have been overboard :)

 

Party details:
• Mermaid & Starfish centerpieces
• Custom Cake designed by BC Cakes & Bakery
• Madeleine clam cookies
• Rice Krispies starfishes
• Goldfish bar
• Custom water bottle labels
• Custom onesie and tutu from Joy Shine Designs on Etsy.

We rented some kayaks and peddle boats for people to use during the party....you can see my son in the middle waving to us :)

I designed a 4 page accordian styled invitation where we were able to place multiple photos of Zoey that we had take throughout the year. The invitations are available for purchase at www.invitationparlour.com or our etsy store. We also have a 5x7 flat version of this invitation available on etsy as well.

Sweet Soiree Bridal Show with Stellar J Productions

On Sunday, July 21st, we had the pleasure of collaborating with wedding planner extraordinaire, Jessica Geiszler of Stellar J Productions on her booth at the Sweet Soiree Bridal Show, which was held at The Dana on Mission Bay.

Her theme for the booth was Purple Mountains Majesty, so of course purple was every where....and it's still one of the favorite wedding color schemes this year. We created the sample invitations and matching stationary to go with her vision.

The invitation set included our Vintage Floral design invitations mounted onto shimmery silver cardstock, then mounted onto a plum color cardstock pocket enclosure. RSVP card and Enclosure card were tucked into the bottom pocket and the enclosure was sealed with a lavender satin ribbon, then a grosgrain ribbon on top with a cute little rhinestone belt buckle. We added the silver and the rhinestones in the design so that it would match the silver and the bling that would be on the table at the event. In addition to the invites, we also designed, magnet save the dates, that matched the Vintage floral design, menus, table numbers, place cards, favor tags, thank you cards, wine labels, and candy jar labels. To order any of these items, check out our website at www.invitationparlour.com or contact us at info@invitationparlour to discuss your event design and we can help turn your vision into realty.

Jessica found cute purple frames for the place cards and we printed the name cards to go in it.

Here is the beautiful table

Custom artwork that matched the theme was the guest sign-in. Artwork by Evelyn PDV.

This succulent wall art along with all the other beautiful florals were designed by Design Works Custom Floral Designs.

Linens, napkin rings, dinnerware, etc were by Patty's Linen Rentals.

This is what the entire booth looked like. It was a awesome event and we had a great time working with Jessica creating the perfect wedding look.

Custom Letterpressed Wedding Invitations - Pink Hearts Design

Nicole & Gerry had a very clear vision of what they wanted their wedding stationary to look like. Nicole wanted everything to look soft and vintagy and also elegant and classy. She also wanted to incorporate  hearts, butterflies, stars and the color of pink and cappuccino brown.

We started with the Save the Dates. The design I came up with gave a little preview of what the invitation would look like. We used a heart design, with the swirls & butterflies and the letterpressing added to the vintage feel. A pink bow was added to the design, since we were going to add big bows to the wedding invitation set. And everything was mounted onto a cappuccino brown shimmery card stock. 

A custom heart monogram was designed for Nicole & Gerry, and it was a main feature to the invitation set and used throughout the designs. The invitation was letterpressed, and mounted onto the cappuccino brown shimmery card stock, which was then all mounted onto the shimmery off white pocket enclosures.

Here are the rest of the details of the wedding invitation set. One swarovski crystal was added to each invitation, to add a touch of bling. The pocket enclosures were all wrapped with a pink bow and placed into matching shimmery invitation boxes that matched the pocket enclosures. Underneath the invitations was crinkle kraft paper and 2 Ghirardelli chocolates, that had a custom monogram wrapper around them. All the rsvp cards, direction card & rsvp envelope were clipped with a heart paper clip. Custom monogram tags were attached to the boxes and the to mail the boxes we wrapped all of them in kraft paper added custom address labels, and a custom rubber stamp with Nicole & Gerry's heart logo was made.

Rubber stamp

It was one of the most beautiful & detailed invitation we have designed so far. Remember to check back for the rest of the wedding accessories, the matching menus, placecards, signs, table numbers and thank you cards.

Custom Invitations - Pocketfold Invitation

Congratulations to Christina and Arbi, who just got married on September 5th! Christina wanted something simple and elegant for her custom wedding invitations and accessories, and this is what we came up with. The colors were cream and brown with a touch of fresh green. She loved the pocketfold invitations which keeps the RSVP and direction card nicely tucked away on a side pocket. We used a shimmery brown cardstock for the pocketfold and printed everything on a shimmery off white cardstock, the paper gave it a beautiful and elegant feel. Christina also ordered custom address labels which we addressed for her, and that was the cherry on top to the perfect invitation package that was mailed out. For the wedding accessories, we designed custom favor tags, in which we used her engagement photo, to give it a personal touch. We also designed matching table names/numbers, and placecards, which completed the designed look for the wedding.
