I love the unique and creative ideas people come up with when throwing a party and then their request for an invitation that goes along with the celebration. It’s fun designing an invitation that goes against the grain of your typical, run of the mill, invite. Something unique, something cute, and something festive. Oh, so fun!

A friend of mine emailed me with a request for a festive, non traditional, bridal shower invitation. The request was for a “Mexican and Margarita” design. How cute, I thought. I immediately began thinking of somberos and limes,… how would I incorporate a Mexican themed invitation, yet still make it seem wedding-ish?

A margarita glass, complete with salt along the rim of the cup, and limes mixed with a lacy napkin and a string of pearls. Mexican and margaritas mixed with a touch of wedding flair equals, mission accomplished.

At my friends request, I created a matching registry card to go along with the invitation. I couldn’t get enough of those little lime slices. Such a fun little touch.

This invite was so much fun to create. Thank you, Natalie, for the wonderful and FUN opportunity to create such a unique invite!
