These first birthday party invitations from Leslie of Lilly & Louise are so darling! The accordion fold invitations celebrate all of the wonderful first experiences in Zavier’s first year, from his first word to first book, along with an adorable bowtie theme perfect for a sweet little man. The sunny blue and yellow color palette completes the design!
From Leslie:Â As anyone who has ever been to a first birthday party knows, the party is not only to celebrate baby’s first year, but also to celebrate that mom and dad made it through the first year of parenthood. We created a colorful, four-panel accordion folding invitation for Zavier’s first birthday party inspired by bowties and new experiences.
 
As the panels unfold they reveal details such as hand lettering, a list of sweet firsts that Zavier experienced during his first year (first book, first food, first word), and hand-drawn bowties for this little man.
The design was letterpress printed with three colors: teal, gray, and bright yellow. We used a bold teal and white chevron envelope liner against a lemony yellow outer envelope.
Thanks Leslie!
