Baby Bottle Shower Invitations

Continuing with the theme of baby shower invitations (I had posted about baby carriage themed ones here), here are some baby bottle shower invitations that I thought were pretty cute. Okay, actually I was kinda disappointed by the choices of this theme on Zazzle. But I really like the ones I picked here and I really do Love the last two I picked (so be sure to scroll down and see those ones).

When I searched Zazzle for "baby bottle" invitations a lot of the results did not show baby bottles. I got things like the "drink me" bottle from Alice in Wonderland and even beer bottles (although I did see some that featured both beer bottles and baby bottles, which I personally find kind of strange, but okay). It was frustrating to see a lot of things that I thought were not related to what I was searching for, so I hope my having "curated" these will help you.
Also, other invitations in the search results had baby bottles, but not as a main feature of the design. And I am looking for ones where the baby bottles are the main thing. I also did see some designs where the bottle was the predominant part of the design, but I didn't like them.

So after looking through dozens of pages on Zazzle these are my top 5 picks. By the way, with most of these I am showing the more gender neutral of the ones available, but some of the designers had more specific boy (blue) or girl (pink) ones available as well. You can click on the designers name on the product page and search their "store" for the same design in other options.

I thought this was pretty cute, but unlike the others I will mention, it doesn't have "text templates" where you can just fill out the form on the page and then you are done. You would actually have to click on the Customize button and add the text, choose fonts, and create the whole layout yourself. Which might not be easy if you are not used to using Zazzle's customize options and just want to do something quick and easy. Bummer.

When I looked the designer only had this gingham design available in pink and not a blue one or a gender neutral one. Hopefully they will be adding those at a later date.

Although the text is kind of hard to read on this design it was still one of my favorites. I thought the skinny paper size and baby bottle layout in the background was cute. I just wish the text could be outlined in white or something to make it stand out against the darker parts of the background more. Maybe a different font color could be chosen by the buyer using the Customize It button to help it be more readable though?

I really, really like this one. It is cute. It is designed nicely with it's simplicity but still very visually interesting. It is a modern design, but still very charming and sweet. I thought this color was the best. It is also available in green, bright pink, yellow (that one was kind of hard on the eyes and hard to read though). For some reason it wasn't available in blue. I wish the designer had set it up so the buyer could just choose the background color they want (that's a little more complicated for the buyer, but not by much). She does have an "Ask this designer" link on the page so you could contact them and ask if she could make it available in other colors.

Okay, this one was my favorite of the bunch. It is done in that cool and trendy "chalkboard" style. This particular version has a yellow baby bottle with yellow stars and white text on the chalkboard background. However it is also available in three other versions--all white, pink and blue. It has the sweet, old fashioned charm that I personally like. The chalkboard theme is both old-fashioned and yet modern (because it's trendy I suppose) and the stars give it a bit of a whimsy, magical, childhood feeling.

What do you think of my top picks? Do you have others you liked more?

My Top 5 Vintage Baby Carriage Invitation Picks

One of the things I've been looking at recently are baby shower invitations.

I like those with an old fashioned feel. I find them charming, nostalgic and, depending on the design, whimsical even.

These are some vintage baby carriage invitations for baby showers (or they could be adapted for bith announcements too with a bit of changing of the wording) that I thought were especially cute and sweet.

With this first one I chose to show it on one of the other "paper shapes" available to give it this cute, scalloped edging. I just like it better that way, because I think it adds more charm to it. But you can choose the regular, simple rectangle shape, or one of the other options as well, such as rounded corners.

The design is of an old fashioned style, wicker, baby carriage illustration in brown, on a lightly striped background. There are actually blue and pink versions of this invitation available as well if you wanted something more gender specific. There are chalkboard style versions of it as well.

This next design is rather sweet with it's floral background, and striped with lace border, then a black and white illustration of an old baby buggy placed on top. It has a sort of scrapbook, collage sort of feel I suppose.

A pretty yellow banner, floating across a fancy, scrollwork style baby carriage, declares "It's a Baby Shower!" Although the carriage and banner, and a scalloped background, give it an old fashioned feel, the gray background and font choice adds a bit of a modern feel to this invitation too.

I think this next choice is very fun. It is made to look like an old admission ticket to something like a carnival or such, but instead it's a ticked to the charming fun of celebrating a dear friend's baby shower. It's unusual size and look is sure to grab attention and get a smile. Not only is a baby carriage featured on the faux antiqued paper, but parasols and pointing hands (like old fashioned adverts used to have) adorn it as well with cool old fashioned typefaces too.

The designer of this also has a chalkboard style version available as well.

And for my top favorite! This is designed by the same person who did the ticket style invitation up above. It has a similar antiqued feel. I think it is even more whimsical and quirky though.

A very fancy banner sits just behind the cute baby carriage with the words "You Are Invited" on it. 
Two hands point at the name of the honored guest that the event is being held for. Below that an illustration of a pocket watch draws attention to the stated date and time of the party.

Introducing Molly's Top Five Picks

So I've been playing around, in my mind, with the idea of having a blog where I just write about my top five picks, of products, activities, and other interesting things (or even boring things), for awhile now. I used to write on a website community like site where we could just talk about our top five favorite things. But I wanted to have more freedom about things, like how I made the lists look, include pictures and such. And frankly, I wanted to include affiliate links too. Affiliate links mean that when someone clicks on the link and buys something, the person who created it often will earn a little something.

Just so you know, Molly is not my name. Molly more is the embodiment of sort of a sweet, old fashioned charm, style that I predominately like. However, I am very eclectic in what I like, get interested in, like to write or think about, etc. So you may never know what I will write about here. In fact--I don't either. Random things pop into my head about what become interested in I would like to learn more about. So expect that in regards to this blog. Random, eclectic, silly, fun, boring, interesting, all of the above and none.
