I've been debating on asking because I know there are a lot of birthday questions already but you guys are so helpful!
Are you ordering your invites from places like Etsy? Will it include a picture of LO?
If so, when are you planning on taking the picture?
I'm trying to figure out whether I want to send out invites with DD's photo and if I do, when I should take that picture. It feels silly to take it now or even next month since I'm sure she'll change a lot from now until her birthday BUT I also feel like I don't have that much time left.
Re: I have a birthday invite question, sorry!
We aren't putting DS' pic on the invite for that very reason.
I think you're safe to go ahead and take one. They already have so much personality and most of their "look" by now.
I'm going to take one early if I have to order invitations, since it takes awhile for the order to be processed/shipped, and then addressed and mailed.
Could you order the kind where you insert your own pic? Just a thought...
I guess that's not really the "look" you're going for though, huh?
DS's birthday is next week and I used a picture from a professional session in October. Yes, he doesn't look exactly the same, but it is an awesome picture and made a great invitation. Everyone will get to see the real thing at the party. :-)
Mavila, Please! You know you can do what you want around this place.
I think you should send a pic just because she is cute....i think. My memory is foggy because it's been a while since Ive seen a picture of her myself.
I was just going to get the ones that come with the theme, where you handwrite the info, but I found a really adorable matching one online and they're really inexpensive so we're doing that. No picture though.
You would need to take the pic at least 2 months before her 1st birthday in order to have time to order the invites and mail them out with enough time.
I AW mine all the time
You pay 8-16 for them to design & then you just upload it to CVS or Walgreens & get it as a picture. I paid 8 for below & had 30 free prints so it was sooo worth it!
I don't like passive aggressiveness!
I need to update the picture but I seriously have no new photos. I think my photo itch ended lol.
---There are some etsy sellers that claim they can turn it around within 24 hours but I don't want to risk it. We'll see...
I thought of this as well.
Ohhh what theme are you going with????
I will be sending dds invites 3 weeks before the party. I will be taking her pictures 2 weeks before her first birthday.
I will send pictures in the Thank You cards.
I really don't get taking 1 year pictures a month or more in advance.
