Somebody has been steering this household for a year and has never once asked for directions. Jack’s first birthday gets a card that looks like it came off a boat: a frame of twisted rope, a small wooden sailboat with a red sail in the corner, and a navy anchor under the title.
Choose it for a party near a lake, a marina or a backyard pool, and for parents who prefer navy and white to pastels. Sent as a picture, it lands in a family group chat looking like a real card; printed on heavy paper, it survives the fridge door for a year.
Serve goldfish crackers in a bucket, hang a string of flags along the fence, cut a cake with a paper sail on top, and let the guest of honor wear the sailor hat for one photo before it comes off.
