The following design shows an invite for a baby shower, but be creative and use this look for bridal, birthday or whatever your next event should be.

materials   #10 flat card, color - pool #10 string envelope, color - cocoa 1 1/2" circle stickers, color - cocoa   tools   page layout software printer

directions

• Using your layout software, design an invite to fit a 9 1/4 x 3 7/8 rectangle.
• Use a large serif font (we used garamond) for "oh, baby!" and type the event and name of honoree underneath in a smaller italic font. In the right margin, list the details of the event in a smaller font.
• Choose a chocolate brown color for your type.
• Print your design on the #10 pool flat card.
• If you have trouble feeding the #10 through your printer, print a sample on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Then line up the #10 card to the print on the sample. Use a small piece of tape to adhere the card to the sample and run them through your printer until your project is complete.
• To complete your invite, add circle stickers as shown in our sample. Coordinate your look with a pool mailing label addressed in chocolate brown ink.
