Today’s my last post on S’s first birthday bash. You might remember I mentioned doing a short photo shoot while we were at the park that day. I saw this photo on pinterest and loved the idea of using the extra large balloons and a basket from home to mimic a hot air balloon.
Of course, it ended up being pretty close to nap time when we finally got around to taking the pics so I didn’t have much setup time. I’m also far from a professional photographer. Nevertheless, I thought the end result was pretty cute.
After adding the message “Thanks for making my day!”, I printed the photos 3 to a page on card stock. Then it was just a matter of adding a hand-written message and a stamp to the back. This was a super inexpensive project and a great way to send an extra special thank you to our guests.

Oh goodness, that is adorable!
I may have to forward this on to my sister in law for my niece’s 1st birthday next month….
Aw, thanks for the kind words – glad you liked it

I’ve started doing postcard thank yous, too. I develop the photos in 4×6 size with a fancy border around the edge (an option at our photo developing place), and they go nicely in the mail, even printed just as a photo.
Love this idea!
