Gift Ideas: Flat Notes and Enclosure Cards

Flat notes and enclosure cards make great personalized gifts! They are available as printable files for you to print at home for yourself or send them to Kinkos for high quality professional printing. When using a professional print shop, I recommend requesting 100lb. linen card stock. Linen is my favorite, especially with notecards. With a PDF file, you can print a few now and more as you need them. Think of those birthdays coming up as well as hostess gifts ! :) Here are just a few of many styles to choose from. Find more under "Sweet Peach Products" in the right column.

Cherry Fondant Cake by Rene Takes the Cake

I can't believe it, but the girls' 3rd birthday is a little over 2 months away. Time to start planning!! :) They are still not old enough to request a particular theme so I've been brainstorming special things they love right now. Getting ice cream from the "ice cream shoppe", as they say, is one very special event these days so an ice cream parlor just may be the dream setting to them! I came across this adorable cake designed by Rene Takes the Cake and my mind started filling with ideas of ice cream, cherries, red and aqua! Thought I would share my fun inspiration...

Classic Damask Bride: Bridal Shower Invitation

One of my dear friends is marrying the man of her dreams this summer and I am honored to help host one of her bridal showers. She is the most beautiful, classic bride-to-be so I wanted to design an invite that fit her and her style just perfectly. I have an entire collection that I am still working on, but will have lots of pictures to share after her shower later this summer. This invitation is customized with background color of your choice along with the hair color of the bride.

Miss Hollywood... Makeover and Spa Parties

Spa and makeover parties have become a popular theme with the little gals lately. For this momma who is in great need of a pedicure, I would love to be invited to a spa party about now! :) I must say that I can't wait for the sleepovers and makeover parties as my girls get older! Until then, here are a few glamour girl invites for your little Miss Hollywood. These are just a few on the long list of new invites and party themes I have to share with you. Lots have stacked up over the last two months!!

Update from The Sweet Peach Paperie

Hellooooo sweet customers!! It has been so long! Wow, I have missed blogging over the last 2 months! Since I last posted, my life has been greatly blessed once more! I am so proud to introduce our newest love "Eliza"! Elizabeth Brooks Allen joined our family on April 28th at 11:42 a.m. weighing 7 lbs. and 3 ounces. She is the sweetest baby and absolutely perfect! Below is her picture at 1 day old and I have more precious pictures from her newborn photoshoot to share soon. Can you tell I'm a proud momma? I'm just a bit smitten by all three of my girls! :)

I also wanted to give you some updates for The Sweet Peach Paperie. I originally thought I would start taking printed orders again in June. Now that June 1st is here, I am realizing my plans may change just a bit. I have been selling digial files for the last two months and am finding this to be a new avenue that may fit my life very well right now. Before I went on maternity leave, business has gotten extremely busy! I love every minute of it, but life with a newborn simply will not allow me to go back to that full of a schedule with print shop and weekly post office runs. Digital sales will allow me to continue business with what I so enjoy as well as meet the needs for all your Sweet Peach parties!

With that, I'm excited to be back! I have sooo many fun parties, new collections and great ideas that have been stacking up while I've been on maternity leave. I also have some great giveaways coming soon for Facebook fans so be sure you are a part of the crew!

Maternity Leave and Digital Files

Hey sweet customers! My maternity leave has officially begun as those very last printed orders will be shipped tomorrow. In place of print shop and post office runs, I am now selling digital files and will continue to do so while on maternity leave. I plan to be on leave through May, but we'll see what life brings! You will receive your customized file within 48 hours to print as many as you'd like and as often as you would like. Print your order at home or send it to your local professional printer and your Sweet Peach party will be ready to go! :) You will find all pricing for PDF files in the right column of the website. If you have any questions, email sweetpeachpaperie@gmail.com and I'm happy to help! Thanks for your continued business as we welcome our newest peach!

Ahoy Matey! Little Pirate Miller

Little Pirate Miller celebrated his 4th birthday in perfect pirate fashion! Check out some of the fun pictures that his sweet and very creative momma sent from his big day! Miller's mom did such a great job of pulling together all the details! She even made the adorable pirate face herself! Pretty impressive! The polka dot balloons came from partyallthetimeballoon on eBay. The coordinating polka dot cupcake wrappers came from Michael's and the polka dot wrapping paper was purchased at Target. I love how she skirted the table with it! Miller's "Pirate Loot" was filled with gold wrapped Rolos as the perfect pirate treasure for his friends. Last, but not least, Pirate Miller's adorable applique shirt was found at lilpinkchicken.com. Happy Birthday Miller! Coordinating banners, flat thank you notes, return address labels and all the pirate goods are also available.

Pretty and Pregnant Flat Notes

Feeling in the very pregnant mood, I have added a few flat notes to the Pretty and Pregnant collection! They make a great gift as pregnant mommas always have lots of thank yous to write! :)

Last Week to Place Orders for Printed Products!!

It's hard to believe, but April is almost here and that means our sweet baby girl will be arriving soon!! :) In order to get things ready for her and take a small break before the baby arrives, I will be starting partial maternity leave next week. PDF Files will STILL be available for purchase, but this is the last week to place orders for printed products. If you have any questions, please email Tracy at sweetpeachpaperie.com. Thanks so much!! :)
