Teddy Bear Picnic

Sort by:

Gingham, a stack of blankets, and every bear in the house on the guest list. It works on a living-room floor in February as happily as it does on grass in June, which is why it is the one theme I never think of as seasonal.

Still comparing themes? → Twelve first birthday ideas in one place, including which ones work indoors and which need a garden.

Designs: gingham for two occasions. Picnic baskets, folded blankets and soft-edged bears over a gingham base, in three colorways: blue, pink and a beige neutral. The first-birthday line runs invitations in all three, welcome signs in blue and neutral, the milestone board, the time capsule set, place cards, favor tags, thank you card, a custom sign and the first birthday bundle. This theme also covers baby showers outright, with two Teddy Bear Picnic baby shower invitation sets in the same gingham, so a family can use one look for the shower and again a year later for the party.

How it works. You edit in Corjl on whatever is in your hand, phone or laptop, and it saves as you go. Log back in any time with your order number to fix a start time or add a name you forgot. If an edit goes sideways at 11pm, reset to the original in one click.

Printing. One file does two jobs: print the PDF, or send the JPEG straight to a group text and skip the post office. The milestone board deserves proper stock, so send the large formats through Corjl Prints using the Print button at the top right of the editor. For invitations on cardstock with free envelopes, Prints of Love takes 10% off with code marryful10 (affiliate link, small commission at no cost to you, thank you!).

FAQ

Does Teddy Bear Picnic work for a baby shower as well as a first birthday?

Yes, both. There are two Teddy Bear Picnic baby shower invitation sets alongside the full first-birthday line, in the same gingham and the same three colorways. Plenty of families run the shower in one colorway and come back for the birthday in the same one.

Can I do a picnic theme indoors in winter?

It is one of the better indoor themes. Gingham, blankets on the floor and a low table need no garden and no good weather, and the warm neutrals photograph well under indoor light rather than washing out the way brighter themes do.

Which colorway suits a small guest list or a gender-neutral party?

The beige neutral. It is the quietest of the three, it does not commit to pink or blue, and with a short guest list a neutral table reads calm instead of sparse. Blue and pink are the same designs with a stronger color story.
