look whooooo's turning 1! first birthday party invitations for sweet little leah grace. leah's mom requested an owl theme to coordinate with these banner decorations she purchased from etsy for the party. we used bright patterns and cheery colors to compliment the feathery friend who takes center stage. the invite was printed in full color with rounded corners for a more kid-friendly feel.

we also designed this tree below for guests to sign in with their thumbprints. a perfect keepsake for leah to look back on one day.
