The invite was a copy of the Daily Prophet newspaper, announcing the new baby and the baby shower. Recipient’s names were hand calligraphed and I wanted them to think that they had really gotten a letter from Hogwarts – which they did. Invitations were sent by snail mail, with a Hogwarts wax seal and stamp.
I definitely wanted a DIY type of shower, so I did most of the decoration and I run a party stationery business, so I really got to splurge on the invitations like I never did before for any of my clients. – “I love party planning and the second I found out I was pregnant, I already started thinking about what my baby shower would be like.Īfter a couple of hours, I had already decided that, no matter if it was a boy or girl, the theme just had to be Harry Potter!
