Alicia’s Wedding Shower Invitation

How is that for a clever post title. Nothing was coming to me so that’s all you get.

This is my first try at my niece's wedding shower invitation. I think it turned out cute. The license plate and the middle can are actually green but you really can’t tell in this photo; they look yellow. I think it’s a keeper don’t you? I think I’ll put a couple of embellies on the top right corner though.

I kept it pretty simple because I have to make about 15 of them. The car is a digi stamp from Pink Petticoat and the rings and sentiment stamps are from a Fiscars Wedding set. The DP is Me and My Big Ideas.

The challenge at If the Shoe Fits is celebrations, Spoon Full of Sugar is wedding and Madelynn's Twinkles is bling. We haven’t seen my niece’s bling yet because they designed there own rings and they are not finished yet. Another thing about having a short engagement!

So here are the plans so far for the shower. My sis in Utah is going to be doing the decorations and party games and it will be in my back yard in the evening. It can get pretty hot around here this time of year so I hope we have a cool day but my yard is in the shade in the evening (that’s when we’re having it). I have asked some people to bring some salads and such. My sister in Utah is bringing dessert because her hubbie has diabetes so she doesn’t get to make sweets very often.

I’m going to make chicken salad on croissants and make a paper box wedding cake. It is triangular shaped boxes that become the “slices” of the cake. I will fill up the slices with goodies for the guests to take home. Of course, there will be plenty of pictures.

If anyone wants to come, let me know and I’ll send you an invite (hehe).

Blessings,

Christine
