I guess we celebrated Hudson’s birthday for a whole week on this blog! Thanks for hanging in there.
A few people asked about the invitations, so I thought I’d show you a piece of it. I worked on them with my dear friend, Nina. She was so kind to “gift” them to Hudson for his birthday!
I wanted the guests to feel like they were opening a copy of Green Eggs and Ham. The outside of the invitation looked like the front and back cover of Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham.
So, naturally, the inside text had to rhyme– like a Dr. Seuss book.
It read:
On June fifth, two thousand and nine,
We welcomed our baby for the very first time.
We had waited so long, we waited, we two,
And when he arrived, we dressed him in blue.
A whole year has passed, and oh what a joy,
to see this sweet baby become a big little boy!
He is growing and growing and growing so fast,
And we can’t believe how the days quickly pass.
Please join us on Saturday, the fifth of June
As we sing to Hudson the happy birthday tune.
The party’s at noon, so please don’t be late.
We’ll serve lots of food and cake on a plate.
You’ll laugh a lot and have a good time
Almost as much fun as reading this rhyme!
Here’s a party you won’t want to miss:
A Green Eggs and Ham celebration like this!
That is so adorable! I want to have babies just so you can plan their birthday parties 🙂 I am sure as Hudson gets older, he will cherish all the thought and effort you put into celebrating his birthdays! He is a lucky (and adorable) little guy!
Um, could those get ANY cuter?!? I just love them!
These are just wonderful. I love how you thought of pretty much every last detail! Question for you: I think you said in an earlier post that you asked folks not to bring gifts. I am going to a party in a few weeks where the hosts said the same thing, but I’m nervous to show up empty handed if other people ignore the hosts’ request. Did people bring birthday gifts, anyway?
Precious! Our wedding vows were Dr. Seuss themed! We had a family ceremony since I had a daughter from my previous marriage and we thought that would make it more enjoyable for her! Loved seeing all the party decorations and your planning tips!
Fabulous! Those are brilliant!
Love it! What a great idea! I didn’t mind the birthday post one bit. Looks like a fab party.
