The pastel Wild and Onederful design
Five wide watercolor bands make up the rainbow: sand on the outside, then blush, a deeper mauve, peach, and a pale butter cream at the center. The colors are muted on purpose, closer to a desert sunset than a box of crayons, and the paint keeps a soft, hand-painted texture.
Wildflowers grow up both sides. On the left are purple cornflowers, lavender spikes, two coral poppies, a white daisy and tiny blue berry sprigs. The right-hand bunch mixes sprays of baby's breath and airy dill umbels with pink clover heads, golden buds and one big pale yellow poppy.
Under the rainbow, her shirt reads I'm the in small gray serif letters, Wild & Onederful in a thin mauve handwriting script that ends with a tiny heart, and Birthday Girl in larger gray serif. On family shirts, a title in large dusty rose capitals sits right under the arches, with of the below it, so Mom's says MAMA of the Wild & Onederful Birthday Girl and Grandpa's says GRANDPA of the same.
The look is calm and neutral, a good match for families who prefer earthy tones to bright pink, and it photographs well both indoors and out.

Planning a pastel boho rainbow first birthday
A neutral boho rainbow party is simple to pull together from the shirt colors: sand, blush, mauve, peach and cream. String up balloons in those shades, a few clear ones tucked between them, hang a wooden or macrame rainbow behind the cake table, and fill bud vases with real wildflowers, dried lavender, pampas grass and bunny tails. A rattan peacock chair or a cream blanket on the floor makes a sweet seat for her portraits.
For the table, a semi-naked cake with pressed flowers, a blush smash cake, peach slices, honey sticks and lavender lemonade fit the palette. Seed packets of wildflowers tied with twine make favors that keep growing after the party, and a jar of notes where each guest leaves a wish for her second year becomes a sweet keepsake.
Wildflower and Wild One parties often happen outdoors, and this design looks right at home in a garden or a meadow at golden hour. Spread quilts on the grass, set out bubbles and a basket of flower crowns, and let the babies explore. A shady spot with a low table, a few floor cushions and a bucket of water for little hands keeps the youngest guests happy, and a picnic blanket in sand or blush gives the family photos a soft base. If the weather turns, the same setup moves easily to a sunroom or a living room with the curtains open.
What the family wears to the party
Grown-ups look relaxed in their tees with light denim, linen pants or a tan skirt, and a rust or cream cardigan for cooler evenings. Big brothers can wear olive or khaki shorts, and big sisters a mauve tulle skirt or overalls.
For the cake smash, pair the bodysuit with ruffled linen bloomers and a crown of dried flowers; switch to the baby tee with a cream tutu once she is up and toddling. Ask guests to come in cream, sand, blush or sage so the whole party matches the rainbow.
Afterward, the bodysuit belongs in her memory box with a pressed poppy from the table, and the grown-ups' tees become easy weekend shirts. Many families take a photo in the same spot every year, so a picture of the whole family in these shirts is a nice place to start that tradition.
Sizing for the family
Every listing ends with a size chart, measured in inches. Adult tees have an easy, roomy unisex shape; most grown-ups order what they always wear and size up only for an oversized look. At one year, the bodysuit sizes girls wear most are 12 and 18 months; compare a bodysuit that fits her today with the chart and go larger if she is between sizes.
Ordering for a big family
Each person's shirt is its own item in the cart, with its own name and size, and they all check out together. At checkout the family discount is applied for you, counting all apparel in your cart.
Plan on 2 to 5 business days of printing after you order, and then standard ground shipping, which most often takes 3 to 5 business days. Two weeks of lead time is comfortable. Need them by a certain date? Send a request and we'll try to help.
