There are many places to shop for paper goods out there, and believe me it’s one of our favorite things to do; being one of the biggest and best parts of the event planning process, because it’s completley setting the tone for your shindig!  We love finding unique stationary with good quality, creative ideas and textures.  One of our favorites is Paperless Post.  They have stationary for every event under the sun from wedding to birthday party’s to just plainly announcing you moved.  They have embrased the era of the evite with providing designer cards via the internet.  But if you still prefer the old fashioned snail mail they also have most of their amazing selection on paper as well.

Recently I needed to design a birth announcement for my newest babe Isla Jean.  I went through most of the popular places to shop for paper on line, but I always seem to go with Paperless Post.  Their designs are fresh, and classic, but yet fun and trendy.  For her announcement I wanted to choose one amazing picture for the front.  I found this one that shaped it into a heart and I knew this was going to be the front runner.

I went with the vibe of the photo, fresh, clean, simple and girly of course! I’m in love with the quality that Paperless post prides themselves in.  Their default paper is thick and impressive!  You even have the option to go thicker, which I always do to add that extra detail of customization.

Speaking of details, I love the variety of details they offer when I comes to font and envelope liners.  The possiblity is endless and fun to completely customize their designs and make it our own.  I fell in love with this modern font we used for Isla’s announcent.  To me it went with the minimal palate of the announcement.

The envolope liner is where I popped my color and had some fun!

Another great concept I love about paperless post is that through the design process these ideas become your own and each and every card produced is unique to your style and vibe.

In the past I’ve done my daughters birthday party invite below.  Which I was completley in love with.
