Oh Baby!

While most of us only get one celebration a year for our birthdays, expecting moms and newborns celebrate at least a few times before the little one turns one: baby showers, sip and sees, and baptisms.  Luckily, we are a one-stop baby-shop when it comes to party planning, announcements, invitations, decorations and thank you cards.

Your guests will be wild with anticipation when they receive this unique invitation, surrounded by an exotic leopard print border and featuring a beaming mother-to-be.  

Looking for something a little sweeter?  This die-cut buggy filled with presents will remind guests to bring a gift to shower expectant parents with love, burpees, bonnets and more.  

Trying to decorate the nursery can be difficult, but these banners add a simple yet personal touch to welcome baby to his or her new home.

Once baby is born, you can use these cute, custom cards to show your little one to the world.  

These baptismal announcements are so lovely, parents and grandparents will want to save them as keepsakes to remember a very special day for God’s new little bundle of joy.  This stunning French cross would look great framed or used as a bookmark, and the flowing white gown with a watercolor background will be a cherished reminder of a very important day.

Finally, after all of these parties and celebrations, you’ll need something to write thank you notes.  We have a wide variety of fold-over and flat cards that will really show your appreciation.  

Group Outings, Shopping Sprees, Spa Dates and Your Health

Did you know that girls' night out is good for your health?  A UCLA study on friendship among women suggests that women who have strong social ties with their girlfriends will live longer than people who choose to live without friends.  So, what does that mean for you?  It’s time to make girls night out official! After all, it’s good for your health! Whether you are planning a night out on the town, a shopping spree, a weekend at the beach or an afternoon at the spa, we can help you set the mood with these clever designs.

Go Wild with a Zoo-Themed Party!

With the success of the popular animated film series Madagascar, zoo-themed parties are more popular than ever.  Whether you are watching monkeys hop from branch to branch, feeding animals in the petting zoo, or riding the train from animal-to-animal, zoos can’t be a great place to host a party.  But if you can’t take the party to the zoo, you can always bring the zoo home with animal-inspired face paints, zoo-themed snacks, animal games and other monkey business.  Check out this recent post on CindyDeRosier.com for tips on how to throw a great zoo party for both kids and adults.  No matter where you host the party, Julia D. Azar can help you out with invitations, decorations, and thank you cards for your next zoo party:

Outdoor Parties for the Summer

Summer time is the right time to get outside and play. With just a few more weeks left before school starts, why not throw a party to celebrate the sunshine?


Make your child’s next party a hit with inflatable toys. These days you can rent anything from a bounce castle and slide to a giant race and inflatable sumo suits, and we’ve got just the right invitations to get your party-goers “pumped up.”

If bouncing isn’t your thing, this party idea will surely hit the mark: paintball and water guns! Round up your weapons and your troops and head to the woods for a futuristic, fun-filled shootout.

After all that bouncing and dodging paintballs, it’s time to take a dip in the water! Finish out your summer with a poolside party. Make it tropical with hula skirts and leis or nautical with sailor suits and anchors. Either way, this party will make a splash!

Bag Tags Help You Stand Out and Stay Organized

Summer time is the perfect time to pack your bags and take a vacation. But have your ever noticed that most luggage bags look almost identical? Instead of letting your bags get lost in the mix, you should make your bag stand out by adding a splash of color to the handle. These bag tags do just that. Choose from a variety of designs, colors and letters, and your luggage won't get lost in the mix. In addition, you can use bag tags to change your wintry black purse into a summer accessory, or to decorate a backpack or lunchbox. They also make a great organizational tool. Order the entire alphabet, and hang them on cabinet doorknobs in your kitchen, office, workshop, dressing room or play room. You'll know exactly where to find everything from A to Z!
