Anchor's Away-Nautical Baby Shower

Anchor's Away!! Another week of wonderful weather, has caused another fresh nautical themed post!! The sun has been shining, the temperatures warm and balmy, and thoughts of summer continue to be present  here once more! So, sail on in, and get ready to be inspired for yet another twist on a baby shower that is sure to impress! Yellow, Navy and White just make this week's invitation, and décor ideas POP with excitement!!

 Taking some inspiration from last week's theme, I kept the navy and white table cloth, and the super cute pinwheels, seashells,  and sand, but brightened things up with some splashy lemons! What's more refreshing than a slice of lemon in your ice water on a hot summer's day! Am I right?

 Cardmint offers so many options.... so that you can choose just the perfect invitation for any occasion! Of course, the price just can't be beat either! $16.00 for a set of 12 printed invitations with white envelopes is such a great price point to start planning your event! All invitations are printed on a professional printer on high quality cardstock. A proof is always sent for approval before printing. If you prefer a coloured envelope, there will be a $9.00 upgrade fee added onto your order! You should receive your order within 5-7 days after your purchase. If you would rather do the printing yourself, you can purchase the printable file for $15.00 which includes all personalization and a proof within 24 hours.

Seashells and beach grass, globes, burlap, and beach sand in candle holders help to set the tone for your nautical themed day, and lemons in bowls or vases just add that pop of colour to brighten it up. Lemons are like sunshine to me....they just make me HAPPY!!!



 Here's another great idea to do something different for the mom-to-be's special day....You can send a request card asking that guests bring a book instead of a card to help jump start the little one's story collection ($0.50 each with the purchase of invitations!) Also, check out the custom Diaper Raffle sign!($8.00)  Guests can exchange diapers for raffle tickets.....the new baby gets some much needed diapers, and your guests get the opportunity to win a prize!! :)

 Don't forget, you can use the invitation itself as part of your décor on the special day! Select a frame, and use it as your centerpiece!

 Here is the invite up close and personal! When placing your order, send Cardmint all of the details of the day, and consider the envelope colour you would like! Check out last week's post for lots of great food ideas to support your nautical theme, or if your are using lemons in your decorations like I did, how much fun would it be to go all the way? Lemon sorbet, tarts, loaf or cake.....just sprinkle a little sunshine into all of your treats for a very refreshing menu!! :) Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to check us out on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and of course, on Etsy!!
