The dusty blue little pumpkin design
The lettering mixes two styles. THIS LITTLE sits at the top in small, spaced peach serif capitals, pumpkin follows in a big, loose dusty blue script with long loops, and IS TURNING returns to peach. Then comes ONE!: the O is a round watercolor pumpkin in warm orange with a curly green stem, and NE! stands tall in a pale blue serif. Under it all, a small powder blue vintage farm truck carries a stack of little orange pumpkins in its bed.
On the birthday boy's dusty blue shirt that is the whole message. Family shirts start with a title in the same dusty blue script, then OF THE LITTLE in peach, pumpkin, TURNING and the pumpkin ONE!, with the truck at the bottom. The soft blue and peach give the design a gentle, vintage feel that is calmer than a bright orange Halloween look.
Fall babies have the best birthday backdrop nature can offer, and these dusty blue shirts are made to wear in it: at the pumpkin patch, at an apple orchard or on a backyard hayride. Families often wear them again for Thanksgiving dinner photos, and the birthday bodysuit tucks neatly into a keepsake box with his first pumpkin seeds.

Planning a dusty blue pumpkin party
A dusty blue little pumpkin party feels like a cozy farmhouse in October. Choose dusty blue, peach, cream and orange, and mix real orange pumpkins with white and blue-gray heirloom ones. Lay blue gingham or cream linen on the tables, tuck wheat stems and eucalyptus between the pumpkins, and park a little toy truck full of mini pumpkins in the middle of the cake table. A chalkboard by the door can read Welcome to Our Little Pumpkin's First Birthday.
For food, a cream cake with a few sugar pumpkins and a tiny truck on top, a smash cake frosted in pale blue, cider donuts, pumpkin muffins, roasted pumpkin seeds and warm apple cider in mason jars all fit. Mini pumpkins with a blue ribbon and a tag make easy favors.
Kids can paint small pumpkins with washable paint, race wheelbarrows across the lawn, stack hay bales into a fort and hunt for orange leaves. A coloring table with farm truck pictures and blue and orange crayons keeps the preschoolers busy, and a basket of toy trucks lets the toddlers drive pumpkins around the yard just like the one on the shirts. If you can, add a hayride or a wagon ride for the little ones; it ties right back to the truck on the shirts.
Dusty blue party outfits
Grown-ups can wear their dusty blue tees with jeans, boots and a tan or denim jacket, or a cream cable-knit cardigan for grandparents. Big kids can add a beanie and sneakers. The birthday boy looks sweet in the bodysuit with brown corduroys or blue gingham shorts and little boots for the cake smash, and in the baby tee with overalls for the hayride.
Suggest guests wear denim, cream, rust or soft blue, so the group photo looks warm and pulled together. A family photo in a wagon or on a stack of hay bales, with the birthday boy holding a tiny pumpkin, is one you will want to print.
Sizing the dusty blue shirts
You will find a chart with inches as the last photo of each dusty blue shirt. Grown-up dusty blue tees are cut loose and unisex, so a normal size usually works. A baby boy at his first birthday typically wears 12 or 18 months, and the bodysuits run slightly generous, so measure his current favorite first.
Ordering the whole family's shirts
Put all of the family's dusty blue shirts in a single cart, one at a time with each person's name and size. The family savings come off at checkout, calculated across all apparel in your cart.
Allow 2 to 5 business days for a dusty blue order to print, and standard ground shipping usually delivers about 3 to 5 business days later. Plan on two weeks before the party. Need them by a certain date? Send a request and we'll try to help.
