First Birthday Baby Invitations
Invitations made for a first birthday for a little baby girl
Products Used:
-
SEI Papers
-
Bazzil Cardstock
-
Ribbon
Preparation
-
Cut cardstock to fit your envelopes without folding.
-
Trying to follow the "rule of thirds" as closely as possible, crop your photo to fit in the top right of the card. Your photo should occupy about 1/3 of the vertical space and 2/3 of the horizontal space. Leaving an equal margin between your pieces of paper, cut one patterned paper to occupy about 1/3 of the vertical and horizontal space for the top left. The bottom piece should occupy about 2/3 of the vertical and almost all the horizontal space.
-
Using a die-cutting machine, cut out the first initial of the birthday girl/boy and the number one.
-
Type your invite details in word, to fit within your invite space. I printed mine on white card stock and used a sans-serif font for most of the details and a script font for her name. Be sure to leave room in the middle for the ribbon.
-
Cut two equal lengths of ribbon and tie two of the ends together
Assembling your invitation
I used permanent adhesive for my project and recommend doing the same. For the ribbon, I just used a tape/adhesive runner.
-
You'll want to do the front first. Attach the letter to your smaller block of paper and the number one to your larger block of paper. Adhere the paper blocks and photo.
-
Center your knot and glue down your ribbon on the paper with the invite wording, tucking the ends behind the back. Then adhere the invite wording to the back of the invite.

A Poem and an invitation
I thought I would see what I could do with my first ever hand drawn invitation clipart image that I made especially for make-your-own-invitations.com and this is the end result. Birdie clipart + a poem + '1942 Report' font + this gorgeous bamboo green background which co-ordinates perfectly with the birdie = 1 cute 1st birthday invitation.
Birthday Poems: I had a look on the internet for some poems for my invite and found a website with some nice 1st birthday poems not to mention a whole heap of other birthday poems.
Jackson's 1st Birthday Invitations
My mom made these birthday invitations for our son Jackson's first birthday. She bought some pale blue and green striped papers from a card store and printed the information onto the paper with Word and her desktop printer. She then matted this onto a piece of 8"x4 1/2" peach colored card stock.
The moon character at the bottom was hand stamped onto white cardstock and has then been colored in with water color pencils. The moon was adhered to the invitation with double sided tape.
Digital photo invitation
I took the other day of my DD playing peekaboo and I got the idea to use it in a photo invitation. The background was very distracting, so I tried to make it blurry.

My Berry 1st Birthday Invitations
Most of my cards/invitations I make fit the A2 envelope. This strawberry birthday layout I created a pocket invitation and rounded the corners. I used a strawberry die cut and placed a brad in it so that it swings out, just for a fun little effect. I believe the font is CK Fresh on that one.
