introducing owl couple

Written on February 4th, 2010 by Kim

I’m soooo excited about this one. I know some of you are saying… “she’s always excited.” But this one is truly special. You see, I have a beautiful cousin and two beautiful nieces who are pregnant right now and surely one of them will want their baby shower to be a hoot! (Come on girls, indulge me!)

Our new owl couple custom invitation, thank you and printable collection would be an excellent way to pad the nest of any mom-to-be. Here are a few of the details:

We decorated our cake plates with brown cardstock scallops to showcase our whimsy tree branch cupcake wrappers and owl couple cupcake picks.

Shown on our pink and brown table decor is the second cupcake pick design: our pink and white stripe ”Babies are a hoot!”

We also made some adorable nest cupcakes (toasted coconut and candy malted milk eggs).

I love these printable placecards since the little owl ears stick up and give the typical flat card some dimension. And if you’re not having a sit down meal, they also work great as food labels on buffets or candy tables.

These beverage wrappers are also perfect to wrap hurricanes or even candles. And check out the super cute straw slips (also great for stemware). They come in four patterns (pink and white stripes, tree branch whimsy, pink polka dot, brown polka dot) and have plenty of space to write guest names.

And no need to fret over favors. These pink and white stripe owl couple candy bar favor wrappers are simple and a perfect treat.

Or, use our cello bag toppers to package up other candies or favors that guests can take with them.

You could even make owl cookies with our cookie cutters and place them in the cello bags. {wink}

Just like the straw slips and candy bar favors, we used a pink and white stripe (same as the back of the invitation) pattern to embellish our owl couple napkin rings.

And last but not least, if you’re feeling crafty, make a few of these DIY plush owls to set around your decor. Read more about them, including our free pattern template, in our earlier post. As always, I hope you’re inspired because this baby shower could be a real hoot!

I mentioned on Monday when I blogged about the peapod cookies and cupcakes that we were working on some new peapod baby shower printables. Well here are some pics hot off the camera. These too will be available early next week… I know I should really wait until things are in the shoppe, but I just get so excited to share with you!

The collection complements our , peapod carriage, peapod bassinet and peapod bassinet too designs and will include:

We have three peapod invitation designs, peapod carriage, peapod bassinet and peapod bassinet too, and we’ve recently decided to create some adorable printables to adorn these collections’ tables.

So in honor of peapod creativity to come, I thought I would share two of the cutest peapod sweets I found on the web. This to-die-for cupcake is from Ally Cake Designs on Flickr and the cookies are from Bake at 350.

Great work ladies!

I’m constantly browsing for ideas and I thought I would show you some of the inspiration I collected when working on our recent addition, “Baby Bump.” Here are some of the items that were in my collage for our pink & brown polka dot baby shower:

Enjoy!
