First Birthday Invitations
Birthdays are very special and if it is your child’s first birthday then that is one thing that parents want to go perfect without any flaws. From invitation to the favors, everything is given proper detailing and research. The guest list consists of all those people who matter and who care, so when they are invited the invitation should have something that touches the heart of all. Here we would discuss about some of these First Birthday Invitation ideas, which would make this special occasion even more memorable.

First Birthday Invitation Ideas

Simple Invitation Cards

Before I give you the ideas here are some pointers that are to be followed with all the designs and ideas that you choose for your child’s birthday invitation which are keep the invitation simple and personalized. So let us start with the elemental idea of sending a plain invitation card with the date, venue and the occasion. In this case you can use words, which are special, and significant for the occasion, like a little rhyme, which might include the child’s name or the invitee’s name

Photo Invitation Cards

Secondly if you want to personalize a little more you can get the baby’s picture on the card with the message on it. You can also try to find out the old pictures of the baby with the respective guests if you have any. This idea would take you some searching across the old photographs but then it is worth the smile that your guests would have on their faces as they open the envelope. There is another very innovative way of doing it, which would be the highlighting of the theme through the picture of the baby. That can be done by merging the two photographs like the baby holding Mickey mouse or Donald Duck or playing among the mermaids and many such themes can be incorporated in the invitation card to make it more interesting.

Keepsake Invitation Cards

Thirdly if you want the invitation card to be a keepsake, then you can certainly get it made in the form of a bookmark or a paper holder, which can be used by the guests later. I would also like to share another keepsake idea, which would be really new and innovative which is of getting the baby’s picture in a key chain and sending a scroll of paper with it stating the date and venue of the birthday party. You can also have a magnet attached to the back of the birthday card so that it can be stuck to the fridge as a reminder or if it is mean to be a keepsake you can add some other pictures and images as well.

Hand made by the kid Invitation Cards

You can send invitation cards that would have the hand and foot imprints of the baby so that the guests who receive the invitation are touched by the gesture and it would also be the kid’s participation in the arrangements of his first birthday party. Instead of imprints you can also add a drawing made by the child, which would be a keepsake for uncles, aunts and grandparents.
