1st Birthday Invitations: Can I see yours? Where did you get it?

MrsBrown2005 · July 2009

Hello all, I am trying to get some ideas for DS birthday invitations. Can I please see your invites? Where did you get your invites?

I am really just looking for something simple but not too simple. I seem to really be drawn to the polka dots. We are having an Elmo themed party, but I do not really want a invite with Elmo. I have been looking on Etsy, but there are so many to choose from, that it is overwhelming. If you have a particular seller you had success with, please let me know.

Also, what is a reasonable budget for invites? I need about 40 invites. Do you think I could reasonably buy them for $50?

Thanks so much for your help.

We're doing a prince theme, so I don't know if it will be much help. I designed them in photoshop and will be getting them printed at Sams Club in 5x7 size.

ETA: The big picture will be of him in crown and One onsie

I don't have a copy of mine but Skoorbnibor made mine... If you page her on Success after IF or 6-12 she can make up some rough drafts for you and you pick which one you like! I loved mine... we did a monkey theme.

Oops, forgot to say that I got them from this website. They were very easy to work with and I got the invites fast. I think I paid $1.25(?)/each. The pricing is on their site.

I don't have a pic of ours, but I used Tiny Prints and we were very happy with them. I believe it was about $50 for 25 invites.

I just decided to play around with the theme you said & came up with this, If your interested let me know, you can give suggestions for changes. I could definitely do 40 for under $50.Of course the pics would be of your kid.

I made mine in powerpoint and then just printed on nice cardstock. I downloaded free clipart from microsoft.com. They have tons of free clipart. I got the font from www.dafont.com for free. It's really quite easy to make them.

However, if you don't want to do it yourself, I saw a lot of great inexpensive invitations on ebay and etsy. You can definitely keep it under $50 for 40 invitations on those sites. Just put in 1st birthday invitations.

This is what I used and edited the wording for what I wanted:

We did do an Elmo though, got these on Ebay, very cheap. Since it was such a small number of people, I didn't even print them, just uploaded it to an evite. Good luck!
