I'd really like to design invitations for my daughters first birthday which is Aug. 26th. I need to get started!
I'm wondering if anyone here has designed birthday invitations that they can share with me so I can get some ideas. Or if anyone knows any good websites to check out I would appreciate it. I haven't decided on a theme so I'm wide open.
Thanks in advance!

bumping this back up, surely some of you scrappers have some ideas to share. There are 2 two comers to the forum both asking for invitation help and no one is responding to them. I would but I don't to that stuff. Let's show these two what friendly and helpful people we are.

I could have sworn I just posted something in here.....bet I save it, instead. Anyway, I found these examples in Denise's gallery on her website. I hope it's OK to share the link. If not, Denise, I apologize profusely and won't do it again.

you can't get better than Denise.
You may want to try a Google search and then try and copy some of the things you like.

I get my best ideas by looking at others work. :bigwink:

It's cute as can be....she's a little doll. It says what you want it to without being too fussy. I'm pretty much a minimalist, so I like it. If I were going to change anything at all, I'd bring the brown into the background of the actual invitation part and change the lettering to pink. :D
