Welcome to the 5th (and final) week of the Envelopments Social Release! And just when you thought they could not possibly bring you more, they did!! For Envelopments grand finale, we are excited to present you with 6 more featured recipes that are sure to answer your prayers.

These religious occasion invitations have unique and modern design elements that are far from being austere. The elegant Lucy Krause Baptism invitation is truly heaven sent, and the vintage inspired banners on the Delilah Jawicz Bat Mitzvah invitation bring a modern twist to an age-old tradition.

We are also loving the timelessness of the cameo profile on the Ashleigh Gonzales Communion Recipe and the 3-D design on the Caleb Regan Confirmation is just plain fun!
To see all of the 6 new releases head on over to Envelopments blog and take a look!

Since the inspiration for the Social Release began, they have introduced almost 60 new recipes. The Design Department at Envelopments has done an amazing job, putting their heart and soul into creating invitations and announcements for just about every occasion. We think they have produced some of their best work yet!

We hope you have enjoyed these offerings and cannot wait to start creating the perfect recipe for your special occasion!

Custom Baptism Invitations {Ideas & Inspiration}

As you may know from my bio I have a new little girl in my life. She's just shy of 5 months and now that the Easter season has passed we are in full planning mode for her baptism. What you might not know is that I not only work with Cherish Paperie as their Social Media Consultant, I'm also a repeat customer. Starting with planning my own wedding in 2007 I've used Cherish Paperie for everything from invitations to announcements to Christmas cards.

So when I began envisioning my daughter's baptism I quickly turned to Adrienne and Diane for help. Not only did we create the perfect invitation together, I was also able to plan the whole reception decor from the invitation design. That's whats so great about working with Cherish Paperie. They not only create a beautiful product, the team is with you every step of the way as you design your perfect piece of stationery.

Stay tuned for pictures of the reception with great ideas for your next celebration!

Paper Scraps and Crafts {Party Ideas and Decoration Inspiration}

We always have tons of paper and ribbon scraps leftover from all out jobs, so I have often tried to think of project for getting rid of them in an effort to stay green and recycle or upcycle... here are a few ideas I thought I could share with you!

These potted paper flowers we found at Hostess with the Mostess would make the perfect centerpiece for your next birthday party. I'm actually considering using a similar design for my daughter's baptism reception. They're so eye catching and beautiful. And you can really make the design match any theme or color combination you choose.

I love the idea of homemade wrapping paper. It's just so much more personalized than the stuff you buy at the store. So when I saw these adorable map bows on How About Orange I knew I could try my hand at them with the paper scraps we have laying around as well. Wouldn't this look amazing on top of that perfect gift?

And how gorgeous are these flowers we found at lushlee? They'd be great just laid out on a tablescape like confetti. Or used to accent a napkin ring at a table setting.

These cute hearts also found at lushlee could serve as Valentine's Day decorations or you could use them at another event celebrating love.

Paper garland is so simple and easy to make. And there are so many different variations (as shown on Oh Baby!'s blog). These would be great for a bridal or baby shower. You could even use them for a children or adult's birthday party. They'd work well for themed parties such as Cinco De Mayo festivities and St. Patrick's Day celebrations. You just match the colors to the theme and start stapling, taping or gluing away!

DIY ribbon pomanders are a fabulous idea we found at Project Wedding for the DIY bride. They're a great alternative to flower pomanders for your flower girls to carry down the aisle. They'd also make great aisle or pew decorations as well and you would be able to make them ahead of time.

We found inspiration in paper flowers from Pepper Design Blog. Paper flowers are always a great alternative to real flowers and bridal and baby showers. And they're great for more than one reason. You don't have to buy them within a certain time frame since they keep forever and you don't have to water them! You can find DIY instructions on how to make your own flowers here on the Martha Stewart website.

If you're interested in more paper flower ideas check out these whimsical paper flowers by Emmaline Bride. They are all so very cute and really inspire us to think outside the box the next time we see those bits of scraps left over from our next project. What are your favorite ways to reuse scraps?

Baptism and First Communion Invitations {Ideas and Inspiration}

A baptism is a very special moment in a new child's life. It is something to be celebrated and shared with friends and family. What better way to share this celebration than by designing the perfect invitation!

With Easter right around the corner I have started looking into designing an invitation for my daughter's baptism. Many who know me know that I LOVE the little details. When I throw a party I want everything to be perfect and that includes the invitations. I also want to make sure that the colors and embellishments match the decor I plan on using. That way I can tie in the theme of the event. Now a theme doesn't have to be elaborate. It can be as simple as using the same color palate for the decorations and paper goods. And this doesn't mean matchy matchy.

I think the best part about designing my invitation is that I don't have to stick to the standard baptism invitations. I can really use just about any invitation and customize it to fit my occasion. So don't let the names of the invitations stop you if they say "wedding" or "baby". Any of these can be used for other events!

I am thinking of using pinks and silver as the base for my daughter's baptism and love this invitation. The best part is that I can DIY it and add my own personal touch to it. Now, if you aren't that into DIY you can always have Custom Programs print and assemble for you! Then they can ship them to your door ready to be sent out to your guests.

First Communion invitations are also something to start thinking about. If your child is planning on completing their first communion this year than you may want to start thinking about this announcement as well even if you aren't going to have a reception afterward. Acknowledging this joyous event in your child's life will not only make others aware of your child's accomplishments but will also let your child know how special it is to you that they are taking this next step into their relationship with God.
