Chalkboard Birthday Party, Bridal Shower, Bachelor or Bachelorette Party Invitations

You see chalkboards everywhere these days - they are one of the hottest trends for weddings, birthdays, and showers. My husband recently turned thirty, and I decided to throw him a surprise birthday party at his favorite bar downtown. I wanted to create a beer-themed invitation that was masculine enough for him. He brews his own beer and loves to try new craft brews, so I decided an invitation with some beer glasses would be perfect. I decided to go with the chalkboard theme since it is gender-neutral, and I'd been wanting to make some chalkboard invitations for awhile.

Here is what I came up with for his beer invitation:

I love how the leaves look like hops. Although this was for his birthday, this invitation would be great for a bachelor party as well. It's great for an event for the man in your life, who enjoys beer, brewing, pubs, bars, etc. It would be great as a 21st birthday invitation as well!

Since I had the male invitation, I decided to do a female version with some wine glasses and cosmopolitans. These would be great for a bridal shower, birthday party, or bachelorette party. I could even create one with all wine glasses if you're having an event at a vineyard.

You can find of these invitations in my Etsy shop, here.

Looking for some other chalkboard-inspiration. Here are a few of my favorites:

A first birthday milestones print from Printable Wisdom.

A mini wooden cupcake stand from ThePaperedNest.

Pink ribbon decorations for mason jars, from treasureagain.

Birthday party favor pill boxes (genius!) from greenbugmartketplace.

A chalkboard banner so you can customize the text and use it over and over again, from thebluecrocodile.

Mini chalkboard signs from SweetCarnival.

Although some of these items appear like they are designed for kids, such as the milestones print, they could easily be customized for a 30th birthday party or a bridal shower. How cute would it be to use the milestones print for facts about the happy couple and how they met, for a bridal shower? And the pillboxes could easily be used for favors for a shower, or even a bachelorette party. I had to do a treasure hunt for items at my bachelorette party. The bridesmaids had a list and I had to ask random strangers for items. The pillboxes could be used to hold a short list that each bridesmaid has come up with, or for storing the items the bachelorette has successfully obtained. The possibilities are endless. 

Hope these have brought a little inspiration for your next party or event. As always, if you'd like a customized design or have something in mind (like a chalkboard postcard or wedding invitation) just let me know and I'm happy to set something up for you.
