These safari animals are symbols of the love and support that surrounds the baby even before they’ve taken their first steps.
See the whispering grasslands, acacia tree silhouettes, and far-off calls of exotic animals. Let us catch that magic and translate it into a design that will make your visitors roar with delight! Over the savannah, the sun is setting; distant giraffes and elephants are silhouettes. As soon as your guests get their invitations, you want to take them to this kind of visual world. Think golden yellows, burnt oranges, and deep greens to create a warm color palette that will help to define tone. Along with capturing the essence of an African safari, these hues will inspire adventure and warmth.
Consider the rich, earthy tones that define the wilderness: deep greens of the bush, warm oranges and yellows that mimic the setting sun, and the neutral beiges and browns that suggest the dusty paths of a safari trail. These hues will help your invitations to transport your guests to the heart of the wild even before they reach the shower.
Think about including safari animal images into the design. This might be a giraffe peering through the invitation text or a lovely elephant. A map border could even help to create the impression of an old-world safari map. Your invitations will be more unique and the tone for a very amazing baby shower will be set by this whimsical and fun addition. Love stamps? To fit the theme, think about a bespoke safari jeep or compass post mark. Something understated that ties the entire suite of stationery used together wonderfully.
You might want to look at adventurous and playful fonts for a wild one safari theme. Headings could be done in a bold, all-caps font, echoing the look of old safari posters. To make a great contrast, pair this with a more whimsical, handwritten font for the body text. The invitation should seem exciting and adventurous, much as a real safari does!
Regarding supplies, consider natural elements and think texture. A thick, textured card stock might feel like safari canvas or weathered paper. To add a rustic, natural touch, you might also include raffia or twine. Like kraft paper, neutral-colored envelopes would accentuate this theme rather brilliantly.
Consider how the book connects with the architecture. Reflecting the excitement of the new trip, the words “Join us for a wild adventure as we welcome our little explorer” could arch over a calm lake. To heighten the sense of adventure, the date, time, and venue could be whimsically strewn around the page, maybe hidden in the nook of a friendly lion or bird safe. Give the guests a little challenge. And don’t overlook the map! A lovely hand-drawn map guiding the shower can provide a personal touch tying the theme together. Most of all include little puns and enjoy writing the text.
