Main Squeeze

This baby shower invitation imagines an afternoon in a garden where everything runs on lemons. Tables are set in yellow gingham under the trees, a dispenser of lemonade sits at the end with ice and sliced fruit floating in it, and there are lemon bars cut into squares on a white platter. Guests arrive in yellow and green and find a seat in the shade.

The parents-to-be sit where everyone can see them. Gifts come wrapped in green ribbon and stack on the table beside the cards, and the soft ones get opened last. The lemonade goes around twice, someone cuts more fruit at the kitchen sink, and the afternoon ends with the leftover lemon bars going home in foil.
