First Birthday Party Invitation Ideas
The first birthday of your child is something 
that most parents are very looking forward to celebrating, especially if it is for your first baby. You probably have been planning early for this meaningful day.
If you have prepared the guest list, the next thing to do is send out invitations.
Since it is going to be a milestone event, why not send invitations that suits the special occasion. Here are some great first birthday party invitation ideas that will set the stage for the fabulous party ahead.
The ‘One’ Theme
Center your invitation on the theme ‘Number 1′ by making or purchasing cards that are shaped like the number One. This classic theme never goes out of date.
You can also use alternative representations of the theme such as the word ‘First’ or ‘Uno’. For wordings, play around with the word one or first.
Some of the favorites are:
Come to my party and celebrate a bit.
See my first cake, I’ll be wearing it!
A little cake, a lot of fun.
A little host who’s turning one!
First smile, first laugh, first tooth, first step, first birthday!
Join us in celebrating ___’s special day…
One little candle placed on the cake.
One first birthday wish to make!
A year of precious moments new and fun.
Our beautiful princess is turning one!
First birthdays are special and barbecues are fun.
Please join us to celebrate as _______ turns one!
Have some cake, join the fun,
CHILD’S NAME is turning one!
One little candle, one little cake,
one first year to celebrate!
I learned to laugh and squeal, then sit and stand,
and I can walk now if you hold my hand.
But the fun has only just begun,
lookout world, I’m turning one!
We can’t believe it’s been a year,
CHILD’S first birthday is already here!
She’s cute and sweet and so much fun.
Our little princess/angel is turning one!
Time flies when you’re having fun.
Can you believe it? I’m turning one!
Come for the fun!
Our little PRINCE/PRINCESS
NAME is turning one!
Splish splash, it’s a birthday bath.
Come get soaked, we’ll swim and play
as we celebrate ______’s first birthday.
Bring your suit and towel,
we’ll take care of the rest.
This pool party will be the best.
It will also be a good idea to add image such as a baby’s finger, or one candle or one hair sticking out of the baby’s head to cheer up the design.
Using Baby’s Favorite Characters
Using baby’s favorite characters such as Elmo, Yellow Bird or Nemo is among the best of the first birthday party invitation ideas. A card shaped like a fish with a Nemo theme is probably one of the best ways to tell people a little about your baby’s personality.
If your baby enjoys a certain type of music or has a favorite place she likes to go to, you can use it as part of your creation. The wordings you choose should match up with your theme.
Personalized
What better theme to use for your baby’s first birthday party invitation design than the baby herself. You can print out one of her best pictures paste it on the front of the invitation. You can also make it a little mysterious by inserting the image of her foot prints or hand prints, or both and include wordings such as “Guess who’s turning One”.
Another great idea is creating a table of months in a year marked with your baby’s activities during her first year, with entries like;
- Month 2 – Held My Head
- Month 6 – Had My First Cereal
- Today(Party Date) – My 1st Birthday Party!
