  Let your words ring out with your joy at baby's approaching first birthday. Use language that excites and informs your invitees.

  "It's ______'s 1st Birthday.
  
  Mommy and Daddy are
  
  throwing a bash.
  
  Her friends are coming,
  
  So it's sure to be smash!"
  
  Add the day, date, time and location. Include a map and/or directions, if necessary. Close with RSVP.

  Use invitation wording that mentions a girl's or a boy's first birthday party. The website, Purple Trail, provides this example of invitation verbiage for a boy's first birthday party invitation.
  
  "Come one, come all and join the fun!
  
  Our baby Einstein is turning 1!"
  
  Or use Purple Trail's example for a 1-year-old girl's birthday party invitation.
  
  "First teeth, first curls,
  
  Our little girl's crawling around
  
  Molly is growing by leaps and bounds.
  
  There is one more first to celebrate
  
  With balloons, a candle and a cake!"
