I've been soaking up all the baby snuggles with our new little guy, and it's brought back a lot of memories from when our first was born - so here's the story behind our baby stationery that I originally designed for our oldest son!
When we were pregnant with our first, I knew I wanted to design baby shower invitations and stationery that would feel special for our baby. My husband wanted to find out if we were having a boy or a girl, but we wouldn't know what we were having until pretty close to the time when I would have to be finalizing a design to get things printed. So instead of designing something gender specific, I created a design that was more gender neutral with flowers, bows, and baby toys like teddy bears, rocking horses, and alphabet blocks. I painted everything monochromatic so that I could easily change colors later when editing files in photoshop - that way we could have blue for a boy and pink or purple for a girl. We ended up with a boy and a very, very blue baby shower, which was just perfect for our little guy!
With baby number two, we decided not to find out baby's gender (we ended up with another boy!) so choosing a gender neutral color meant this was still the perfect stationery.
This has been one of our most popular products of all time, which feels so special to me because I designed it for my babies. I now offer eight different colors, so these cards are perfect for any baby shower theme!
