William turned one on March 8 and we had his party the following day, Saturday. I started the planning and “Pinning” last summer I think and knew that I wanted to go with a “Little Man” theme. His baby shower was a similar theme so I thought about trying to come up with something else but it just seemed to fit. He’s always been our Little Man. The final idea was “Our Dapper Little Man”.
I created his invitations using a photo I took of him in his dapper outfit, all purchased from Target. The vest was on sale and the tie was the perfect color scheme to match the party colors. My original idea was to have him sitting next to a chalkboard sign but since he’s learned to crawl, there is no keeping him still for that long. I actually like how they came out more this way with James holding him.
The reverse side had all the important information and some fun ties I found via a designer on Etsy.
I am not a graphic designer by any stretch of the imagination but I am pretty happy with how these came out.
