-- Photo Damask Birth Announcement --

Rachel's mom contacted me about designing birth announcements for her new baby girl. She wanted the birth announcement to match Rachel's nursery color scheme of brown and aqua blue. The winning choice ended up being a classic design with a damask print. Welcome to the world little Rachel!

-- Pool Party 1st Birthday Invitations Part 1 --

Amy from Elmwood Court Photography contacted me about designing invitations for her son Pierce's pool party first birthday. Once again I couldn't stop coming up with ideas for designs and I ended up with three options for Amy. Amy ended up selecting the first design and I hope Pierce liked it as much as his parents did! Happy 1st Birthday Pierce!!

-- Floral Bridal Shower Invitations --

Lily contacted me recently requesting bridal shower invitations for her friend's bridal shower that she was hosting. With the bridal shower taking place in the spring and the wedding colors being red and cream, I decided to do a floral theme to the invites. I was so excited to do these that I ended up designing 3 different invites for Lily. She picked the last design which was also my favorite!

-- Season's Greetings from MJ Squared Designs! --

Being a newlywed, I wanted our holiday card to include some of our wedding pictures. We had many guests who were unable to make the journey out to celebrate with us and I wanted to share some pictures from the day with them. As much as my husband hated the top right picture, the pictures and the card were a big hit!

-- Wedding Favors, Placecards, Programs & Thank You Cards --

Here's some more stationary stuff from M&M's wedding.

Programs
To help tie in all the stationary, I used the same cardstock and ribbon from the invitation pocketfolds for the programs.

Favor Tags
These favor tags were wrapped around the couple's shot glass favors.

Place Cards
Guests were treated to a sit down meal during the reception which made it necessary to differentiate what each guest ordered. Thus, the design on these placecards were color coordinated to help distinguish the different meal options. To help tie in the colors of the wedding even more, I used a brown color for the design on the beef place cards, cream for chicken, green for vegetarian, and black for the kid's meals. Also instead of menus for the entire table, I printed the each guest's menu on the inside of the place cards.

Thank You Cards
I created two different variations of these thank you cards. They both had the same design however one of them just said "Thank You" and the other had the couple's monogram. Having the standard "Thank You" card came in handy while writing thank you cards for gifts received before the wedding while the monogrammed ones were using for writing thank you cards after the wedding.
