Birdie Baby Shower Invitations

My friend and I are throwing a baby shower for our friend Shannon. We decided on a little birdie theme for her baby boy. After having seen these adorable invitations from Jordan Ferney, I HAD to make them. These are the birdie invitations I made:

Since it was birdie themed, my sister, mom and I came up with these little wording changes:

Please help us get {mother}’s nest ready, baby {last name} is ready to hatch! -and-
A little birdie told us she was registered at…

I used:

  1. All white jordan almonds for the filler candy because they look like little birdie eggs. I found these at Wal-Mart in the wedding section.
  2. A Martha Stewart birdie hole punch to show some negative space on the outer label.
  3. 8 1/2″ x 11″ full-size Avery labels, and printed 5 name bands per sheet. I found these at Office Depot.
  4. Adobe Illustrator to layout the design.
  5. A corner punch to round the edges. I bought this at a craft store.
  6. Istock to buy the bird nest illustration and Adobe Photoshop to edit it.

And LASTLY, I now have 25 extra plain kraft jewelry boxes that I’ll sell for $12 if anyone wants to take this project on themselves!
