Red Egg and Ginger Party Invitations


In Chinese culture, a party is given to the baby at his first month's birthday. Proud parents take this opportunity to introduce their baby to friends and family by arranging a "Red Egg and Ginger" Party. The reason for the name was that the parents would hand out red-dyed eggs to their guests. Eggs are symbols of life changes and their round shape symbolizes harmony and happiness in life. The eggs are dyed red because this color represents happiness in China. As for ginger, it is a commonly used in Chinese cuisine because it establishes balance in the yin (cold) and yang (warm). Many new mothers use this in their diet to get stronger.

We were lucky enough to get to do an invitation for a Red Egg and Ginger Party and enjoy learning about new cultural traditions and occasions and being able to be a part of them. The possibilities are endless! Do you have a special cultural tradition that you celebrate and need invitations for? We would love to help you.

Ode to Prom


La Design Boutique had the honor and fun of creating an invitation for Prom! It was our first time creating a Prom Invitation and it was soooo much fun. We love festivities, and we love being a part of new events even more! This invitation was done for Gabrielino High School in San Gabriel, California and their theme is "This I Promise You". Their colors are going to be aqua, black and silver. Such elegant choices, right? We love their choice. They decided they wanted an elegant invitation with damask designs that showcased the theme colors. This was printed on a 4.25x6 glossy card and enclosed in a beautiful matte aqua envelope. We hope you have a prom to remember Gabrielino HS Junior Class!

Have a special and unique occasion you need a design for? La Design Boutique is your choice for custom designs!

Google Does it Again


Google has done it again. They have now made life easier for engaged couples too! They have simplified wedding planning and now offer personalized websites, photo editing, Picasa Web Albums for sharing photos, and our very favorite - Google Docs with templates for all your planning needs. We know there are so many different avenues you can take to start your wedding planning, but how easy is it to start with an application you have already been using?

Use their guest list, seating charts and budget planner for your stationary needs. All you have to do is fill out the seating charts as your beautiful RSVP cards start coming back and send us that file to create your unique and personalized place cards.

"Organize the "to do's" so you can get to the "I do's".
