Part 1"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hi All,<\/p>\n

Today I can finally <\/em>start a series of posts for a super fun project I was secretly working on the past few weeks. A super sweet friend of mine, Dayle Lang, is getting married and I had the honor of creating her bridal shower invitations, some party favor decor and a little extra surprise specifically for the bride.<\/p>\n

When the bridal party contacted me in regard to creating Dayle’s shower invites, I was super pumped! We all knew the Dayle’s not a frilly, \u00a0pink-with-lace type of gal so nothing like that was appropriate for this occasion. After the bridal party did some brainstorming, they came up with a pretty awesome theme – a galaxy! I knew it was a great idea as soon as I heard it. They weren’t talking about about large planets with rings, five-point stars or rockets bursting into outer space. This was more about supernovas, shooting stars, meteors, and those beautiful collisions of purple, blue, black and grey colors. Seriously, just spectacular!<\/p>\n

As I was searching around for inspiration on the entire theme, I released what I was looking for just didn’t exist. We wanted to METEOR<\/em> shower the bride. With some great inspiration in fonts and styles from Etsy and some color research on Google – I recruited a volunteer\/employee (aka my awesome husband) to do some photoshop magic for me.<\/p>\n

Here’s the collaborative result: Notice the shower in the background? Yep, totally planned.<\/p>\n

\"Invitation1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I took his design and dressed it up on some silver Bazzil card stock before wrapping it all up to drop off to the bridal party.<\/p>\n

Here they are ready to go! I snapped a quick picture on my phone before sending them off to the bridal party for addresses and stamps!<\/p>\n

\"Invitation2\"<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, we’ll talk party favors. They were also a collaborative project that I think turned out pretty great! See you tomorrow! =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
