Here is Lori's Raggedy Ann Baby Shower Invite:

We are planning my sister-in-law's baby shower with her chosen theme... Primitive Raggedy Ann (rag-doll type, not the "typical Raggedy Ann").
We plan on decorating a local social hall with all types of dolls, primitive decorations, an old trunk with primitive toys, etc.
I personally made her invitations, which I've received COUNTLESS compliments on.
I made them out of material...a round raggedy ann face.

I stitched her mouth and around her triangle, felt nose. I used buttons for her eyes and stitched around them as well. I punched holes around the top of her head and looped burgundy yard through the holes.

For the back, I made a round frame and glued pieces of material (homespun) around the round frame. I placed the baby shower invite in the center of frame.
Everyone loved them.
I made over 50 of them... very inexpensive BUT time-consuming.

I then made a few extra invitations and purchased a cheap mobile for the Mommy-to-be.
Instead of placing the baby shower invite in the frame, I placed round mirrors and glued the heads to the strings hanging off the mobile. It looks adorable.
