Best Baby Thank You Cards

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Well, we like to think we’ve got the best baby cards around - and the best range of designs… (but we’re a little biased of course).

Kidspot Australia has just announced the Best of Awards, where you can vote for the best products, toys, books and websites for babies, children and parents. There’s seven different categories you can vote in, and a $50 prize up for grabs each week of the competition awarded by Kidspot just for casting your vote.

So if you love our baby thank you cards, love our site or have used our services and think we’re worthy, please take the time to vote for us in the Best Baby Product category.

Here’s some of our favourite baby thank you cards at the moment.

Vintage Inspired Flower Girls

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I’ve just come across the most divine site for flower girls.
(thanks to The Bride’s Guide).
Take a look as this divine flocked flower girl dress from US angels. I think I need an event for this one!

Would be perfect for a wedding with our Hollywood Riches wedding invitations and stationery.

A Polka Dot Birthday Party

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

I can’t believe how quickly time flies. My youngest daughter turned two on the weekend. We celebrated with a pretty polka dot theme using our new Mademoiselle Polka Dot invitation series which can be found in the weddings section on the Alannah Rose website. For those that didn’t know, any of the designs in our collections, can be altered to suit any occasion - so if you like one of our wedding invitation designs , you can use it for a christening invitation or birthday celebration like we did.

I’ve created a board from Ella’s party below, I hope it helps with some ideas for your next celebration.

Clockwise from top left: Drink Bottles - I bought these pop top water bottles from the supermarket, covered the labels with pretty wrapping paper and hung name tags with ribbon around the neck of each bottle. Each child took one as they walked into the party. Polka Dot Cake - Jodi from Designer Cakes in Donvale made this for me, it was just gorgeous and tasted fabulous too! Mademoiselle Polka Dot invitations in blush from Alannah Rose. Party Bags full of goodies for the kids to take home - Mademoiselle Polk Dot Bon Bon cards from Alannah Rose, bags and ribbons from ACN Packaging . Tissue Paper Pom Poms - I made these myself and hung them from the ceiling above the party table with fishing line - you can find instructions to make these pretty decorations on Martha Stewart .

I’m always excited about babies, I’m lucky to work with so many new mums every week with the baby thank you cards in store. But it’s even more special when it’s one of your best friends.
