hens invitation

here's chelseas hens invite i said i'd upload. The theme was "beachy", as we are going to a teeny beachside town half hour out of Victor Harbor called "normanville" - so nice! We've booked a holiday home there for about 8 of us girls. I didn't want to do the cliche "frangipanies" (yuck!) or anything obviously blue & yellow. So i went with a "nautical" twist.
cardboard = rustic, sandy, beach shak
ivory card = sand element
shells = shells (duh)
and the lace & bow are there to soften it up, and make it a bit more girly!

The invites were accompanied with a "advice for the bride" card.

Oh, and do you know how hard it was to find those shells?? haha. We live where there is heaps of beaches, yet not one had any shells, grr. Not even the shops had any...And then a week after I'd posted them, I'd found that sam’s mum has a whole jar of them on display in her bathroom!

duffa!
