A baby is brewing. A gold-rimmed china cup brims with blush and cream roses, two pink macarons rest on the saucer, and a butterfly hovers over the lace. If the shower is a tea party — and the prettiest ones are — this is the invitation.
The cream panel below the lace is wide and clear: a scripted headline, “baby shower tea,” the mom-to-be’s name and the details in a gentle serif. Rose and cocoa lettering suit the porcelain; keep everything centered and unhurried.
Set the table with mismatched cups from the thrift store, tiered stands of scones and finger sandwiches, macarons in pink and cream, and tea in real pots. Send guests home with a tin of loose-leaf tea tied with ribbon. Lovely for a girl or a surprise, and a favorite with grandmothers.
