Where can i find a large birthday card for my daughters 1st?

I've been to Hallmark, Birthdays, Clintons, Crad Galore and moon pig, but there are no really large cards reading "To our Daughters 1st Birthday". Any suggestion welcome except ebay

Where can i find a large birthday card for my daughters 1st?
You should definitely try to make one! It's actually a lot easier than it seems.





To make a really good one, you're probably best using: wrapping paper, large card, a matching or complementary coloured piece of small card, and a photograph of your daughter.





The easiest thing to decorate a large card is wrapping paper. Find yourself a nice bit of girly or baby birthday paper, or even just something with a nice pattern.





Next you'll need to get a big enough piece of card. Pop to your local art shop (Millers etc are usually good but I'm not sure where abouts you are). They usually sell card up to about A0 (which is huge - 16xA4!) in a variety of colours. If you can, try to get a coloured sheet - maybe something to match your wrapping paper.





Half the card, and use the wrapping paper to cover either all of it or a section of it as you wish.





Taking a photo of your daughter, stick it on to the small piece of corresponding card, and cut it out leaving a nice border all the way round. Now stick this on to the large card, and any other little printouts/magazine cutouts/cut out details from the wrapping paper.





The easiest way to get your message on is just to print it out. You should still have enough of yur small card to print a message onto, and you can just pick a nice font and include your daughter's name ("A very happy first birthday to our beautiful daughter..." or something!).





She will treasure it when she's older and it's cheap and easy to make, while looking really professional. I've included a picture to give you a rough idea!

Reply:I never saw one specifically for 1st birthday, but I used to get the giant ones at Walgreens or CVS(Eckerds) when my son was little. I would just take a marker, and personalize the one I could find!
Reply:Design your own here...;
Reply:i dont know if they have 1st birthdays but they have huge birthday cards at walgreens so try that. they are open 24 hours too so you can go when ever. hope they have it
Reply:Make one with her favourite characters and personalise it.


If you're not very artistic, go online to the cbeebies website, and print off things to colour, paint, glitter etc..


It'll be REALLY fun!!
Reply:how about making one and then put it away till she was older. I did it with my 2 and they love getting it out.
Reply:yes like every1 else said make it... it could b a special reminder of the good old days or somthing like that
Reply:y dont u try something own which will be very affectionate
Reply:i know that the card warehouse do them, i got my daughters 1st birthday card there, it had daughter abd 1st birthday on, it was really nice they do them for boys to, it cost me 2.99
Reply:I dont know where you are located but if you have a factory card outlet, they have them. Other than that there should be some card places at your local mall you could check out. I do like the idea of making your own as well. Maybe you could put different pictures of her in there from when she was first born through her 1st. Then tell her how big she has gotten, etc. You can do alot if you make your own.
Reply:Make one if you've got a printer that will handle card just put a suitable image on it .it will mean more to her when she's older more personal than amass produced card.
Reply:I guess making one is your only option. Not much point though, I doubt she can read yet.
Reply:Why dont you make one? Buy some card and sticky things! put sweets and feathers and glitter on it and stuff, I'm sure it will make a better keepsake and your daughter will laugh when she is older and looks back at what mummy and daddy made for her.





plus you and your wife will have great fun making it!





hapy birthday to your little angel anyway.
