A Panda in a Bow Tie Beside a Big Blue One
A watercolor panda in a blue bow tie holds a star patterned balloon beside a tall blue number 1 on this card, with a white cloud shape and soft dots on a sky blue page. The title 1ST BIRTHDAY sits in white capitals with the baby’s name in script above it. It suits a baby boy’s first birthday and can be sent to parents, grandparents and friends.
Blue Header, Cloud Shape and Panda Illustration
The card is 600 x 800 pixels, portrait, one page. The upper third is blue with the name and title. The lower part is white with confetti dots. The panda, the balloon and the numeral form one picture. The message sits at the foot in a dark italic serif.
Name, Title and Message
The name Liam! is in dark script at the top. The message reads One year of love, laughter, and precious moments. May your life always be filled with happiness and bright adventures! Replace Liam with the baby’s name. The card is addressed to the baby, but parents will read it first, so add a line to them if you like, such as Congratulations to Mum and Dad.
Personalising a First Birthday Card
- Type the baby’s name in the script line.
- Keep the 1ST BIRTHDAY title.
- Add a line to the parents.
- Add a sign off from the family.
- Mention a gift or a visit.
Writing for Parents and Baby Together
A first birthday is as much for the parents as for the baby. Add a warm line about the year they have had, such as What a wonderful first year! Parents keep these cards in a memory box.
Using the Card as a Party Invitation Cover
Print the card at A6 and add the party date on the back. The panda and the number make a charming cover for an invitation as well as a greeting.
Printing Pastel Blues
Light blues print softly. Use 200 gsm matte paper and a high quality setting so the watercolor texture stays smooth.
