Planning for the Big Three

A certain tot’s third birthday is just around the corner (read: less than a month away) and it’s high time I turned my attention to selecting the perfect party invitation. I’m starting my search with Tiny Prints (an advertiser on this blog) because I have ordered from them many times in the past and we’ve always been thrilled with the result. (In fact, the Christmas Cards I sent last year were such a hit that several of my husband’s ultra stylish, supremely selective family members declared they would order from Tiny Prints next time.)


Here are a few contenders for this year's invite. (Like many boys his age, he’s a little obsessed with trains at the moment.)

Traveling Train Invitation

Birthday Stripes: Siren Invitation

Birthday Locomotive Invitation

















I would be remiss if I didn’t also share with you the adorable invitation we ordered for his second birthday party last year, which was held at The Little Gym.

The Monkey Bars Invitation in Persimmon

















What do you think of these choices?

Many Thanks

In the last week, we have received another wave of adorable baby gifts for the twins. Tonight I need to sit down and write thank you notes to our wonderful friends and family members so they know how much we appreciate their kindness and generosity.

I adore personalized stationery. I think it adds a beautiful, classic touch to routine correspondence, so I always try to keep a few designs on hand. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites with you.

I’m currently using:

Classic Frame Monogram Notes from Embossed Graphics

Damask Embossed Notes from Embossed Graphics

Green Patio Trellis Note Sheets from Whitney English

I also love:

Emily Note Cards from Whitney English

Savannah Pink Folded Notes from Boatman Geller

Adelaide Note Pad from Stacy Claire Boyd
