"ain't no rules, ain't no vows, gonna do it anyhow"

i am in the midst of full-on party planning mode for my husband's 30th birthday party.
i decided to do a carribean theme poolside, since his birthday falls in late june & he's
always been a total beach bum.

it dawned on me last week that i need to get his invitations out!  
i wanted to use some bob marley lyrics &/or a vintage beach/carribean photograph
to illustrate a carribean feel.   something like this:

then i found inspiration in these vintage beach inspired engagement photoshoots.

what an amazing idea for an engagement shoot!
i am obesessed.

it's a party in the USA.

party invitations are my absolute favorite thing to design.

i especially love when i can incorporate some play on words or a song lyric to

make them super fun + playful.

i wanted to show you some party invitations that i've done along with

some others i find inspiring.

these invitations were designed for a christmas bridal shower. 

i had so much fun literally brainstorming classic

christmas songs + substituting words in

to make it wedding related.

the winners shown here were:

"have yourself a merry little shower"

 +           

"joy to the bride"

my jersey girl engagement party invitations.
she asked me to design swirls that incorporated a heart. simple + romantic.
clean lines are important to me.
i don't like clutter.

who doesn't love a pig roast? 

vegans maybe?

i mean, i don't really dig on swine but the

vibe of a pig roast is undeniably fun

regardless of your food preferences.



i designed these pig roast invitations

for my uncle los' 50th surprise party.

playful + bold.

i am now planning a 30th birthday party for

my husband with a caribbean theme.

look for his invitations coming soon!

i am using bob marley's

"let's get together & feel alright"

besos!
