Default HELP!

I'm trying to come up with an invite for a luau themed bridal shower! I'm completely drawing a blank. Any suggestions?

I have enough time that if I need to, I can buy, borrow or steal (kidding) to come up with something. I was thinking fresh flowers, but I'm open for better suggestions.

I think the Tickled Pink set is adorable-you could do the flamingo with the lei and add glitter to the flowers. The bg paper could be white cs and you could type in the phrase "_________'s Shower is going to Tickle Her Pink!" for the front and then lightly sponge the page in pink. Have the flamingo stamped on another piece matted on hot pink paper and it would be adorable (I think)
On the inside you could wheel the flamingos in pink and then do a vellum overlay with the invitation details.

I know in the gallery is a little cello bag with a pink lemonade recipe you could even use as favors for the shower.

Paint Prints (SAB set) would absolutely work stamped in bright colors (pink passion and yoyo yellow with glorus green leaves)
I think a bolder set than Fresh Flowers has more punch to it is nicer to get, but that is just me

I also really like Tickled Pink. You can buy a lei from your local party store and cut it appard and add the individual flowers with colored eyelets or brads. It would be colorful and fun.
I like the phrase that camsmom came up with, really cute.

I love the Tickled Pink set. I also have the Tropical Blossoms set and really love it. My sister turned 30 last year and I through her a suprise luau party. I'm a secretary at a school, so I got a huge roll of paper and lined my garage with it after I stamped it with the Tropical Blossoms. I also made napkins, invites and as a gift I gave her homemade thank you's using the same set. Both sets are very versitile.

I like the flower in Beautiful Batik for Hawaiian Flowers. I made a notebook with it & someone here loved the "local" flower on it.

It is in my gallery:

Default thank you!

Who knew.... flamingo with a lei! I've looked through the catalog SO many times and I've never seen it.

Thanks for the suggestions! I love the little straw hat on the flamingo. That might just be the one
