First Birthday Greetings

I'm feeling inspired by the lovely cards my daughter has received this past week for her first birthday.

With their lower price points, children's cards might be overlooked by publishers/retailers making first birthday cards sometimes difficult to find. Design wise, first birthdays can be tricky to work with as they could look too babied or too much like an older child's card. There is also some debate at the moment about the gendering of products for children, John Lewis recently wading into this when removing gender labelling of children's clothes.

Despite all this, there is some great design out there. I'm loving the current fresh colour palettes and innovative character illustration. Some top picks for you here.
