Its spring time in Texas and that can only mean 2 things – Babies and Crawfish!
I must know more people with spring birthdays than any other season. Point in case, I have been invited to 3 different baby showers + 2 birthdays this coming Saturday. That’s a lot of births! I have also noticed an increase in signage for various crawfish boils around the city – they’re everywhere!
So a Baby Shower + Crawfish Boil = BRILLIANT! :) …and that’s exactly what friends and family of the Simmons will be doing come May 15th.
Junae contacted me a few weeks back about creating a custom invitation for her sister’s baby shower. She told me that the goal was to incorporate the colors of the baby’s room – blue, brown and red (LOVE), and make it clear that it is a crawfish boil + baby shower.
I started out thinking about how we could tie these 2 things together. I think with a little imagination and creativity, there has to be a way to tie just about anything together! So with this one I thought bibs! People wear bibs to crawfish boils and of course babies own tons of them! ;-) I then thought bottles! Bottles of hot sauce, Baby bottles – you get the picture! When I presented Junae with the idea, she told me that her family and she are loyal consumers of Crystal Hot Sauce – ding, ding, ding! That’s what we’re doing then! I would of course be lying if I said I didn’t present them with a few other ideas - I just can’t help myself sometimes - but from the outcome, I’m very glad we headed the direction we did!
I definitely have to give her and her family credit for the super cute saying. I came up with several – including a whole poem incorporating the crawfish boil/ baby shower – but the final saying was all them! It’s the beauty of custom design. I get to work with you to make your invitation a reflection of you!!
P.S. I also do labels and mailings to make your life easier. You just have to send me your address list and I’ll do the rest!
Please stay tuned for a Vegas bachelorette invitation I’m working on for Junae! I have to say, I’m really loving this one! :)

Those invitations really came out cute, Lisa! I really, really, really like them! So cute!
Hahaha! Thanks, Christiana! You know, you are a married woman now, so it's time to move on to the next step. We can create a crawfish baby shower invite for you whenever you're ready! ;-)
Is it me, or is everyone else seeing that it looks like I'm talking to myself and giving myself compliments? I did not write that comment about the invitations coming out cute - but I would love to know who did, so that I can tell them thank you very much!! :)
I’m interested in a similar invitation. I also sent a message on Etsy
