custom birth announcements are a special way to welcome a new baby – and even better in an earthtone palette and square format.
we were given full creative license with this project to design something special for this little one. we used a darling collection of photographs taken by the mother. the color palette was taken from the colors used in the nursery, and penguins have a special place in the father’s heart. desaturated color and a grid layout make the design orderly and cohesive.
we designed this announcement double-sided to showcase more of the adorable photos.
thanks, meyer family, for letting us create something beautiful to celebrate the birth of sweet little lincoln!

here is another recent baby shower invitation that {ampersand} was commissioned to design. we had a blast creating the custom illustrations for this one. we love that lil owl and its leafy perch.
let us know if you have any weddings, parties or events in need of some unique illustrations!
here’s a great solution for addressing your invitations: custom labels that coordinate with your stationery! nothing is as clear and simple as a mailing label, but most are so boring/ugly that I shudder to picture them on a personal invitation. but not these!
these labels truly elevate your style and add a polished look to the envelope. here we used the teal color scheme, tiny dots and matching typography for a coordinated statement. (to see the matching invite check out our previous post.)
the return address folds over to appear on the back. easy as pie.
what’s sweeter than a tiny baby shower invitation sprinkled with tiny polka dots and a heart or two for good measure?
- tiny invites standing at attention!
these invites were custom designed to celebrate the impending arrival of a baby girl affectionately known as “Lil’ G”. they fold accordion style and fit in tiny envelopes with matching wrap-around address labels. not only do the labels unify the design, but they are a great addressing solution – much classier than typical mail-merge labels and way easier than hand addressing. the return address is printed on the part that wraps around the back so you conquer all your addressing needs with one simple sticker! gotta love it!
