Elum Umi Invitations

I'm so excited to be a retailer for the fabulous letterpress company, Elum. Elum's wedding albums (there are two of them!) as well as the baby album are absolutely fantastic, innovative and chic.

That's why I was so thrilled when Elum's newest invitation album Umi arrived at the store.

Umi is not only graphically gorgeous (duh), but it is also amazingly affordable for letterpress, utilizing package-priced ensembles. Plus, Elum paired up with Envelopments (another Papery & Cakery fave) to allow even more customizable envelopes, liners and enclosures.

Make and appointment today and come see what all of the Umi talk is about!

Mr. Boddington's Favorite Save the Dates

I hate to pick favorites but I think my favorite invitation just arrived at the store today. It's a stunning square invitation in letterpress by the fabulous and charming Mr. Boddington's Studio. This particular invitation came with a lovely liner, a gorgeous backing paper, a patterned response card and the coolest tri-fold event card complete with a map of the destination. I'm gushing because it's nothing short of amazing, just as I'm sure the impending wedding will be!

I jumped right onto the newly renovated Mr. Boddington website and blog this evening and have been marveling over their witty and whimsical post on save the dates.

See for yourself and make an appointment to view even more Boddington creations.

Baseball Bash

It's the World Series! In honor of the amazing games between the Yankees & Phillies, I thought I'd feature some of my favorite baseball ideas. Hopefully they'll help you hit a home run the next time you entertain!

It all starts with the perfect invite. Love these round baseballs from Luscious Verde, and these letterpress invites from Twig & Fig that use actual turf! Both available at papery & cakery.

Martha had a wealth of ideas on hosting a kids baseball birthday party. I adore these baseball cupcakes! She also gave ideas for a great party favors filled with with chocolate baseballs, baseball gum balls, Tootsie rolls, baseball-bat taffy lollipops, wax soda bottles, Smarties, and a pack of baseball cards, a whistle and lanyard. I think cracker jacks would be another wonderful addition!

Pottery Barn sells this fabulous glassware etched with your favorite team's name along with a monogram. There are pilsner glasses, old-fashioned, beer mugs and large bowls. You won't strike out serving food and drinks in these!

These stitched cufflinks are made from actual baseballs. I think they'd make the perfect gift for a baseball lover or even for groomsmen.

Hit it out of the ballpark with an awesome cake like this one, featuring a hat and playing cards from Confetti Cakes.

Hope these ideas have you swinging for the fences!
