The menus are custom - I'm a graphic designer so I was able to do them myself :) Thanks so much for the compliments and good luck with the shower! Hi Caroline –

My future sister-in-law got engaged in Paris so I am thinking a Parisian theme for the shower. These are some great ideas! I love the idea of the block letters that spelled her name in front of the flowers- where did you guys get those? Probably a craft store would have them but just wondering where you purchased them. Also, in the first picture it looks like a menu in the middle of the placemat- can you please share where you ordered those from as well? Thanks, and awesome job!!! Hi,

Hi Anon-

The placecards are blumebuds and area available at blumebox.com.
