Here are the invitations in the works...
Yes, folks, we are having a 'mustache bash.'
I know the little man/mustache theme is super trendy right now, but I think it is absolutely adorable and really fits with the "tie onesies" our little guy has been donning throughout the year. Also, I like it because it can be fun for adults as well...maybe a little more-so than Elmo? We don't have a ton of friends that have kids here, so I thought about this when choosing the theme as well. This might make me sound like a bad mama, but...pretty sure these 1st birthday parties are more for the parents benefit anyways. Um, why don't we just call it a "We-Survived-the-First-Year-of-Parenting" party? I jest. Actually, no, not really.
Anyway, the invitations were inspired by ones like these, found on Etsy:

Clearly the ones I am making are considerably less fancy...but I know nothing about graphic design, and am on a budget. Plus, I just get a huge kick out of making them myself. :D
I still haven't finalized the design, and hope to add a couple elements, but...once they are actually sent out I will give you a full view of the invitations and envelopes.
I have had a lot of fun planning all the details, and am looking forward to celebrating the day with those here in Kentucky that love our sweet baby Cormac. God knows I probably won't have much time or energy to plan 1st birthdays when we have another baby...or two.
As for my family in Minnesota...we'll be having a mini-party at the farm in about a month!
More on all things {first birthday} soon!
