9×12 Tea?!

I was asked to make an invitation for a 9×12 bridal shower tea. 9×12? Yeah, I was a little confused too.

Turns out, Kathy (the bride) will be moving to London with her soon-to-be husband and won’t be able to tote a bunch of shower gifts out of the country. Makes sense. That’s where the 9×12 theme comes in…guests were told to bring a gift that could fit into a 9×12 envelope (included in the invitation package), which would be able to be used between the hours of 9pm and 12midnight.

Love it,…oh so cute! And challenging!  Trying to figure out what you can fit in a 9×12 envelope can be quite a task! However, I was able to make it to this shower and, let me tell you, there were some cute ideas!! Twilight Delight Ghirardelli Chocolate was one of my favorites,… YUM!

I made a pack of stationary for the bride, which I will be posting about soon. Not that she wants to be writing thank you notes between 9pm and midnight,…I’m sure that’s one of the last things she wants to do, but hopefully she’ll enjoy using them!
