I met Natalie during move-in day our freshman year of college. We were inseparable for years, but then we grew up and life happened. She was married first, and moved a few hours away. We stayed close, though, and I was so happy to have Natalie be a part of our wedding. She was one of my bridesmaids!

Shortly after Ben and I were married, Natalie found out she was pregnant! I cannot believe that Eva is turning ONE! This year has flown by, and I’m sure it’s gone by even faster for my dear friend and her new little family. When she asked me to design the invitations for Eva’s birthday party, I jumped at the chance! What an honor, and how exciting! I can’t wait to be a guest at Eva’s candy themed birthday party.

This little girl has a smile that can light up a room, and Natalie and Daun have the most beautiful daughter! She is the sweetest addition to their family, so it makes perfect sense to have a sweets themed party.

This is the second proof of the invitation that I designed. I’m waiting for Natalie’s approval, but I can’t wait to get these printed and in the mail! I purchased matching pink invitations, and am going to embellish them with striped wrap-around address labels.

I can’t wait to be a guest at Eva’s first birthday!
