A baby’s first birthday is a huge milestone for parents. Kids grow so fast these days; it’s only a matter of days before they turn 1. It’s almost as if you sent out their birth announcement card! Soon enough, you’ll be making a guest list for their first birthday party. 



Kids as young as one are barely aware of the concept of friends, so you can take full advantage of this and invite anyone you like before the time comes where you have to send invites out to their whole class.

There’s tons of inspiration out for first birthday invitations, but here are a few top picks!

Themed invites
As babies grow, they tend to look at their outside world with tons of fascination. Most kids end up being obsessed with a certain kind of cartoon or something at this age, and this prompts parents to throw a themed birthday party. 

For example, if a boy is obsessed with dinosaurs, parents will throw a dinosaur-themed birthday party filled with terrestrial shades of green, brown, and yellow and dinosaur-themed food and party favors. For such a birthday, cute dinosaur-themed invites will look super adorable! 

Make use of cartoonish designs
If your little one is particularly social and has made a friend group around themselves, you might want to go for an invite with a cartoon graphic on it. This is also great for birthday parties that revolve around no particular theme. Use lots of bright colors to make it look like a kid’s birthday invite and not a wedding invitation. 

This way, the invite is fun for kids and gets them excited to visit. Babies are quite simple to impress.

Use online programs
There are tons of online programs now that you can use to make an invite, and they’ll follow up on RSVPs for you. This will keep one burden off your shoulders. 

The way these programs work is they generate a link with a custom-made invite, and you can send this to whoever you’d like to invite, and it tracks RSVPs. They generate some of the most adorable invites and prove to be super convenient.
