The best way to make 1st birthday invitations for your child's first anniversary, is without a doubt, the innovative use of photos of your child. Almost without exception, everybody on planet earth will break into a smile from ear to ear as soon as they see a photo 1 year old looking at them innocently. Choosing the right photos for the invitation need not be a difficult job at all.
You can choose photos to be included in your child's 1st birthday invites in two broad ways. The first option is to ask a professional photographer to take photos of your child in the right mood. Hiring a professional will help you get exactly the right photos that would look best on the invitations. that is why it would serve you better to hire someone who specializes in taking children's photos.
Otherwise, you can pick and choose photos from your own album. I'm sure you have loads of photos that you have taken of your child in the past year, what with point and shoot cameras being the norm. Sifting through all of them, you will get at least some photos which have good clarity and are eligible to be embedded on to the 1st birthday photo invitations.
I say some photos and not one, because you may want to use more than a single photo for all the invitations. Bringing in some variety would mean that you have different photos for different recipients. Essentially, you can customize the photos so that particular guests would fall in love with the invitation. This may mean a photo which was taken with that guest and the child earlier in the year.
I'd say that this is the best way to please your guests and will them into attending your child's birthday party and be part of the fun. They will want to come to your child's anniversary if you tell them through the 1st birthday invitations, how much you value them and their presence in happy moments. Guests who arrive cheerfully will make the party ambience even happier for your child.
Also, if you can associate the birth anniversary of your child with a particular theme, you will have even more ways of using photos creatively. The theme for the birthday party would be something that your child already knows about or has encountered in the past. You can use everyday animals as the theme or cartoons such as the Backyardigans or anything simple.
Suppose your theme for the child's birthday is the Backyardigans. You can now create an entire backyard painting in the invitation and show your child playing with the Backyardigans. This way, the other children know what kind of fun to expect when they come to the party. It will also make your child look way cuter than she would in a regular photo.
As would be the case with your child's birthday party, just see to it that the 1st birthday invitations are simple and fun, rather than loud. It is after all the 1 year old that is the center of attention and everything should point to the child.
