This is the card for a baby who is going to make a splash. Turquoise waves curl around the frame like frosting, starfish and coral cling to the corners, pearls roll out of open shells, and a small whale peeks in from the top right as if to check that the name is spelled correctly.
The sea blues lean toward a boy, but a summer shower for any baby would be happy here, especially near the water. The mom-to-be’s name goes in the middle, the day and the place below, and it reaches everyone before the tide turns.
Bring the beach to the party: a blue-and-white dessert table, sugar shells on the cupcakes, a bowl of saltwater taffy, driftwood and sea glass down the center of the table, and a little bucket of shells for each guest to take home.
