There are several moms in my life that mean a great deal to me. This year I wanted to do something special for some of them; a special token of my appreciation for all that they do and for the love we share.
With the weather finally gorgeous and warm, brunch in the park sounded like the perfect way to do that.
I spent several weeks planning and collecting little things here and there to make the morning extra special for them, they deserve it after all.
Lovely Invitations
1. Find cardstock you love that matches your theme.
2. Cut pieces of your cardstock to make envelope inserts. Easiest way to do this is to cut a rectangle about 1/2" smaller than your entire envelope (including the flap) then trim the top edge to match the envelope design. Glue inside the envelopes.
3. Cut a rectangle of cardstock 1/2" smaller than the inside of your envelope.
4. Print or type your message in the center of the invitation.
5. Add a 1" strip of matching cardstock to the top of the invitations.
