Blue gingham never goes out of style, and it has never looked more like a baby boy than here. A torn-edge white card rests on soft checked linen, tucked with baby’s breath and eucalyptus — simple, fresh and quietly expensive-looking.
This is a design that lets typography do the work. The entire white card is yours: a spaced-out headline, the mom-to-be’s name in a graceful serif, “a little boy is on the way,” and the details beneath. Navy or dusty blue lettering looks crisp; leave generous margins and it reads like letterpress.
Carry the check into the party with a gingham tablecloth, white hydrangeas, and blue-and-white china. It suits a brunch, a backyard lunch or a coed shower where dad’s friends are invited too. Change the last line and it works for a girl or a surprise just as well.
