raffa is turning one // first birthday invitations

Raffa's first birthday party is tomorrow! What an exciting milestone and such a fun party to plan. These are the invitations I designed for the event.

And now, the party is here! It is tomorrow. We are all ready for it! I did end up following this plan for his party; I even made that banner for the occasion.

I realize that Raffa may not remember his first birthday and its party, but all of us who love him are so excited to celebrate him!

The invitations were a simply black and white with lettering to match his banner - hand cut letters. I included a very appropriate enthusiastic photo of Raffa. The back of the invitation features a pattern of asymmetrical diamond shapes. I opted to have the envelopes hand lettered and then I made return address labels with the same hand cut lettering as the invitation.

So, let the celebrations begin! It all started yesterday with the start of the #raffasturningonegiveaway {don't miss it! it ends May 11th}.
