A cute new feature on a lot of our stationery designs is the addition of a pattern to the back of the cards. I have such fun designing these I thought I’d share a few of my recent favs.

Here at Hello Little One, we try to inspire great ideas with our many unique stationery creations. One such, is our storybook themed baby shower invitation. This darling, vintage style card is the perfect way to invite your guests to a storybook baby shower and asks that each guest bring a copy of their favorite childhood book for the new baby. Its old style design can be the perfect inspiration starting point for your baby shower decor. Centerpieces made from stacked antique or colorful books will create a magical storybook atmosphere. Book marks, from Beau-Coup, can be used as place cards and also work as favors for all of your guests. Check out this adorable cake from pinkcakebox.com, where edible books are stacked and topped off with the cutest little baby. It will definitely lure your guests to the desert buffet. Best of all, the mom to be and her new little one, will treasure their new books for a lifetime of reading and enjoyment.
My friend Renee recently threw a baby shower for her best friend and she had THE cutest idea for the festivities. She went out and bought a bunch of white onesies (they usually come in packs of three or four for about $12 at Babies R Us) as well as a variety of iron letters, fabric crayons, markers and paints. Each guest created a personalized onesie for the new baby, with funny sayings about the parents / baby-to-be, or cool quotes in general. Soooo cute!
So why not do a Onesie Themed baby shower? Check out these onesie cakes from Pink Cake Box in NJ. What a great idea! Hello Little One has a Onesies Galore invitation that would definitely set the theme as well. Matching mint tins would be perfect favors for guests to finish the day in fashion.

The Biggest Loser host and Days of our Lives star, Allison Sweeney, used our Hello Little One design, “Sweet Chicks” for her bird themed baby shower. I’m addicted to The Biggest Loser, and watched Allison’s pregnancy unfold over last season. I always admired her for being so sweet, calm and professional during her trimesters. Pregnancy Magazine’s February issue has a great article about the details of Ali’s baby shower and features her personalized invitations. Megan Hope Sanov — who weighed 6 lbs., 7 oz. — was born 12 minutes to midnight on Monday, January 12th. Congratulations Allison and Dave, as well as big brother Ben!
Throwing a party can be stressful, expensive and time-consuming, especially if it's for a friend or family member's big life event: like a baby shower! Make it easier on yourself (and way more fun) by adapting a theme that starts with the invitations and 
ends with the favors. Your guests will love the way you have tied everything together. Need an idea? How about some Spring chicks. Little chicks are cute and reference the birth you are celebrating. Hello Little One has an invitation called "Sweet Chicks" that have a mother and chick sitting on a branch… it's whimsical and modern at the same time. For a dessert, try mini chick shaped cakes or cupcakes with chicks frosted on 
them. Do a google search for an illutration that you like and bringing it in to your local baker. For favors, I found these adorable salt and pepper shakers at beau-coup.com that round out your theme. The mom-to-be will be pleased that her host thought of everything from start to finish!
