Are you making formal/professional invitations for baby's first birthday?

smlowe9311 · July 2014

Our lo's 1st birthdays are approaching fast. Are you making or having made actual invitations or are you just using word of mouth to invite people?

smlowe9311 · July 2014

I voted ss because I don't know what we're doing yet. We are just having a casual get together in out backyard so formal invitations seem silly but I also kind of want to send them to have one to put in her baby book...

No, we're just having a small party with family and friends. No invites needed. I feel like I'm the only one doing something small.

Fb group lol. Easiest way because 90% of the people that are coming have fb. We are havibg a big outdoor BBQ party so I didn't think it really needed a formal invitation.

ejb23 · July 2014

I just did a quick evite because I want to have family sign up to bring stuff potluck style.

We are just doing a small BBQ, but I made invites regardless. I love all things TinyPrints. I think it's a nice keepsake for her baby book too.

Ss, printing my own. Made one on Snapfish and the total was $92!! No thanks that's like the total food budget

I'm printing my own. I couldn't find what I wanted online and I think I'm pretty creative.

@starscream‌ I thought that was wheezys real invite showing all your personal info until I saw 'March 2015'. Freaked me out for a second! Eta- cute invite

I had an digital invitation made on Etsy for $14 and then printed them through Vistaprint for $8 (I think) for 10. Obviously since I only printed 10, it will be pretty small. I was even able to get a picture of him put on the back of the invitation. I love it!

I'm doing invites. I wanted something special since it's the 1st birthday bit probably won't do any again. Oh and I'm making them myself printed on card stock and attaching a Butterfly cut out.

Eta typo

I'm doing an evite. It's just immediate family & a couple of friends. Our keepsake will be her 1 year old pictures we are having done the week before.

Burrberrymum · July 2014

I just bought invitations at the party store, nothing fancy. I'm only sending a formal invitations to the kids and any extras I'll use up but otherwise word of mouth or maybe an evite.

sugarkissed · July 2014

We ordered 10 invites... just for her baby book and for family members.

cputman200 · July 2014

I voted formal but I will be making them myself at home and them printing them out at the office supply store on heavy cardstock.
We will just be inviting family and some close friends. I am going to try to do it in my hometown 5 hrs away since we will be there already that weekend.
I need to look into a place to have it!

elishabelle · July 2014

I just did an FB invite. It's mostly families from our mommy group. All of our family lives out of the area and I wanted to have some kind of celebration.

AlejandraN2 · July 2014

I'm doing them with a designer on Etsy but she's not been great so far which makes me regret not having my friend do them. I just fell in love with a design so wanted to go with it. Hopefully i'll be able to send them out this week. I think we'll have about 30 people or so so not big but i may be going just a little nutty

ajbook · July 2014

I'm printing a few invites for baby book purposes. I'll mail them to immediate family, but we are having a small party. I've been MIA for a while, but I'd like to come back

OliveMom3 · July 2014

I voted ss. We will do evites.

olga1311 · July 2014

Doing formal invites. It's a BBQ in a park but I am going all out with themed decor and menus so formal invites seem appropriate

AlejandraN2 · July 2014

Ajboocher come back come back

Tally879 · July 2014

We did formal invites for family and did a FB invite for our friends. I designed them myself and had them printed at costco.

redfallon · July 2014

I wasn't, but I looked at vistaprint last night. I'm tempted.

Jupiter62 · July 2014

I'm not having a party. It'll just be me, LO, and DH

But I do find it fascinating how different everyone's version of a "small" party is. I always thought small (for a birthday party) was 10 or fewer guests, and large was 20-30+ but I guess that's not the case.
