Picture a garden gate in late June: clementines heavy on the branch, white blossom everywhere, and a cream card tucked into the leaves. That is the whole mood of this invitation. The fruit is bright, the greens are deep and glossy, and the little gilded sign above says what every guest already feels about the baby on the way.
It leans neither pink nor blue, so it works for a girl, a boy or a surprise, and it is a natural pick for a brunch shower or a garden lunch. Type the mom-to-be’s name into the middle, set your day and your place, and the card is ready to go out from your phone.
The picture plans the table for you: a bowl of clementines as the centerpiece, orange-blossom lemonade, a citrus cake with candied peel, and a little crate of fruit and honey for guests to carry home.
