Announcing your excellent taste. Oh, and a baby, too.

We found (and squealed about) the delicious, inventive cards and invitations from Bird and Banner years ago, but it's been a while since I stopped by to see what's new.

Let's just say the selection hasn't quite made me want to have another baby just for the shower invitations, but if I were to be asked to pick them out for you, I would jump at the chance.

 

While Erin and Nicole made a name for themselves working with fabrics (check out the imaginative wedding invitations for Grace Bonney of design*sponge, printed on vintage handkerchiefs!) I love seeing what they're doing now with paper.  This hand-drawn baby shower invitation definitely caught my eye--what a fabulous change from the same ducks and storks you see everywhere. It reminds me of a Woodstock-era rock poster.

For something a little more classic but still original, this family tree announcement is ready for displaying with an actual frame, not a refrigerator magnet.

These are not cheap cards; everything is custom made and lovingly executed by hand. But wow, what a way to welcome a baby into the world. -Liz
