first birthday invitations

i have dreamt of his birthday, since the day we found out we were expecting. back in elementary, my school was having a book fair and book sale. i found "Now We Are Six" by A.A. Milne for $.10 and fell in love with all the illustrations. i have kept that book in my bookshelf ever since, and brought it back out along with a couple other books that i purchased antiquing to bring his first birthday party to life. these invites are simple. i took a photograph of one of the images of the book, photoshopped it and printed it on cardstock at home. i am happy the way they turned out, a little vintage, a little classic pooh, and whole lot of love went into these.

    LOVE!!!!! They're perfect! One of my future children will be having a Pooh first birthday. AB's is a bumblebee party because like you, I decided on that theme years ago. Thankfully my first baby is a girl so she can wear a gold and black tutu. ;)

    Such a great idea to take a picture of a page in a book! I will have to remember that!

    The invitations turned out just perfect....and I love all the extra little details that you added with the stamps! My son's first was Classic Pooh as well and I still love the theme today (he is turning 15 this year - yikes!!!) Can't wait to see pictures from the big day!
