This was originally designed as a baby shower invitation. I was for a friend of a friend and the notes I got for what they wanted was rustic, earthy, not too cutesy, and no need to use pinks/blues. In situations where parents don’t want the traditional pink/blue I tend to gravitate toward greens. I think green is calming and still happy. It’s a color that conveys life so I find it a good alternative. I built the owl with just some simple shapes in Illustrator as well as the trees. The original invite had a few different fonts taking up the majority of the space with the baby’s name in the center box. This invite is maybe not everyone’s cup-of-tea but it was perfect for my client and they really loved it.
