*ideas* please!!

So we're having a big party for Andrew in the spring.  We rented a shelter at the park near our house so we can do it outside.

The idea was that we could celebrate:

-1 year adjusted birthday (his real birthday was 12/30 and we didn't feel comfortable having a lot of people around so it was only immediate family), April 6th

-his 1 year NICU homecoming, April 24th

-the end of RSV season successfully without getting sick, and we'll be "free" from lockdown

-Wanting to meet friends/family since he hasn't met a lot of them

Soooo if I wanted to send invitations out, I don't even know what to write!  It would be an open house style I think - pitch in.

How would I word it?

Any cute ideas?

Our Andrew has come a long way, it's true!

So many things to celebrate and here are a few:

He never got sick, not even a cold!

And our guy's adjusted age is now one year old!

We've been on lockdown, so he may not have met

A few friends and family - but we didn't forget!

So if you know him already, come and stop by

If you haven't met him, please come say Hi!

 

HOPE THIS HELPS A LITTLE WITH IDEAS!

Me too - how creative!!!  I think something along these lines would be great...maybe include a photo of Andrew in the NICU, along with a current photo?

We are thinking of having a "real" birthday party for M&W on or around their due date, too, so I'm anxious to see how these invitations turn out!

Could that be any more perfect?  I wish we'd had that for a coming out party last year.

Thanks girls!  I love writing these little things, so if anyone else has some "poetry needs" send them my way!

Hahaha, nope, I just like writing silly little poems like this one.  That's about the limit of my artistic creativity. Give me a paper and crayons, and I'll give you something a three year old would be embarrassed about
