A baby’s first birthday is one of the most special occasions parents can celebrate. It is the anniversary day of the child’s birth and the wonderful memories that go along with that first day of life. Whether choosing to celebrate with a sweet gathering for immediate family or have a large party for friends and neighbors is up to the parents. Most baby experts note that baby most likely will not remember the day. But it’s an important event which shouldn’t pass by without notice.

Sending out invitations for baby’s first social gathering is a must. Sending out the invitations about a month before the event allows guests time to prepare and respond to the RSVP. Some of the most adorable 1st birthday invitations include photos of the baby. Who can resist a precious face? Or choose cute designs with bright colors, polka dots, festive banners, stripes or flowers. Choosing a design theme for the invitation will help to prepare for the party. Lighthouses can announce a casual nautical theme. Pretty flowers can announce a gathering for baby girls and their mothers. Pink for baby girls and blue for baby boys are always popular. Bright orange inviting everyone for the new little pumpkin’s once in a lifetime birthday lets guests know lots of fun is planned.
