Description
We wanted to embrace the meaning of her name, London, with a contemporary edge. We also wanted a picnic in a park that encouraged a relaxed, family and couple friendly atmosphere.
Design Inspiration
We already knew London was a girl, but we wanted to stay gender-neutral. The design inspiration was how a county-fair in a park in London would feel like.
Decorating Style
A lot of color! London's nursery theme is based on Antonio Gaudi...that says it all. Our decorating style is eclectic and diverse. We like to combine and pair different travel experiences.
Project Details
The invite and shower favors were all done at home, hand-done, on an inkjet printer. The shower monster doll prizes were hand-sewn (I made 12 of these!). These dolls also had their own identity with stories attached. It was a hit.
Favorite Items
The invite. It was the first creation that started it all!
Advice
Give yourself time, time, time. It took me a long while to cut and place stickers just for the tea cups. I spread out the production and didn't try to do it in a few days. I didn't have to plan to critically but made sure I did something everyday.

Love the hand-sewn monster doll prizes, as well as the fact that each one has a name and a story. Surely a labor of love for the guests.
