Maddox 1st Birthday - Party Theme, Invitations, Save the dates and Thank you Tags

Six months prior to Maddox 1st birthday, I already decided to create my own design for his birthday invitations. My idea is ..."TICKET" style invitation...

I experimented first by using the theme "Justice League" because my first plan is to celebrate his birthday at the Shakey's Market Market where their themes includes Justice League and Barneys, unfortunately when we are about to do some reservations...they are no longer accepting parties during the weekend, so I decided to pursue my plan B which is to celebrate the party at Star City ( this is a separate entry so I wont discuss it here).

Why Sesame Streets? Simply because I want to concentrate only in a specific colors....I only wanted red, blue, yellow and green. So I picked up characters that will represents my chosen colors and that is Elmo, Cookie Monster and Big Bird.




Fated that the only accredited cake supplier of Star City is Red Ribbon which has Sesame Streets themed Cakes.

Anyway, here are the steps in designing the ticket style birthday party invitation using Sesame Streets theme.
First, since I have no time and costumes to use for a photoshoot I use "Face in the hole" site to  change the face of the babies in elmo, cookie monster and big bird's costumes and put the face of my Baby Maddox.




 Then I searched for some useful and colorful designs to complete my ticket style invitation:




Next, using MS Powerpoint I put together all the above designs.And the result is .......



I also created  " Maddox Gift Guide" and "Reminders"



 Of course, I need an envelope to put the invitation, gift guide and reminders.
Here are the final invitations. You will notice that I concentrated with 3 colors, representing 3 teams which are Team Elmo, Team Big Bird and Team Cookie Monster.


By the way, let me also share with you our "save the date" , "Thank You" tags and Dedication Card:
