My mom brought this up to Mammoth over the weekend to show me what a super cute invite my old old friend Wren made for her sister's baby shower a few weeks ago. Isn't it so cute?? I love the paper cut-out look. It's so totally perfect in it's imperfection. And as a designer, where everything seems like it has to be perfectly measured and even and blah blah blah, it's so nice to see a more free, organic take on stationary.
I looks like she made the invites using paper collage and her own handwriting and then scanned and printed the actual invites. Or maybe she just color copied them? I think that's what makes it so neat. That you expect to feel the paper pieces layered on top of each other, but it's a print. 
And the shower itself was a huge craft extravaganza with different stations around the house that let the ladies in attendance create a square for a quilt, a page in the baby book, a wooden baby block... all sorts of really thoughtful details that will surely surround Sadie's little boy with huge community love.
Taking notes here for when I throw my first baby shower.
