Monthly Milestone Cards with Personalised Name & Heart Design

Build a little collection of first-year photographs with monthly milestone cards in our engraved Script & Heart design. Flowing lettering, small outline hearts and natural birch wood give each picture a simple, coordinated detail, from the first month to the first birthday.

The set brings together six double-sided monthly cards with 12 age markers and one personalised name card. Choose a Hello World or Welcome to the world introduction, add your baby's name, and keep the matching wooden cards ready for the months ahead.

A simple script and heart design

Large calligraphy-style words sit above smaller typewriter-style age wording, with a fine outline heart beneath. The warm brown lettering is laser engraved into the pale wooden surface. There are no raised letters or painted name pieces, so the design stays flat and easy to arrange on a blanket for a photograph.

The neutral finish works with soft cream knits, plain muslin and colourful nursery fabrics. A small change of background can give each photograph its own character while the matching lettering ties the series together.

What you receive

• 6 double-sided monthly wooden cards, carrying 12 age markers.
• Monthly wording from One month to Eleven months, finishing with One year old.
• 1 personalised name card in your selected Hello World or Welcome design.
• 7 wooden pieces in total, each approximately 11 cm in diameter.
• 3 mm birch plywood with laser-cut edges and engraved script and heart details.

One year old is the twelve-month marker, rather than an additional age after twelve months. Turn the double-sided cards to find the wording for each month. The six-card gallery arrangement shows a selection of the engraved faces; further ages are on the reverse sides.

Both name-card designs are shown to help you choose. You receive one name card in the design you select, not both. Blankets, flowers, knitted accessories and other photography props are not included.

Choose your personalised name card

• Hello world my name: the card reads Hello World / My name is / your baby's name, with an outline heart below.
• Welcome to the world: the card reads Welcome / to the world / your baby's name, with an outline heart below.

Both options include the same matching monthly cards. The style selection changes the personalised introduction, so you can choose the wording you prefer without changing the first-year set.

How to personalise your set

1. Choose your preferred wording under Name card design.
2. Enter the baby's name in the required Add your personalisation field, exactly as you would like it engraved.
3. Check spelling, capital letters, accents and hyphens before adding the set to your basket.

Example: choose Hello world my name and enter Olivia. Your name card will read Hello World / My name is / Olivia. The monthly age wording stays standard; your baby's name is not repeated on every monthly card.

Olivia in the photographs is an example. We use the name you submit. For a first and middle name, several names or a particular layout, contact us before ordering so we can check what fits. Letter size and spacing may be adjusted to suit the name.

From their first introduction to their first birthday

Use the name card for a first introduction photograph or a keepsake flat lay, then bring out the appropriate age marker each month. A plain blanket and gentle daylight make the words easy to read. Keep the background similar for a matching photo series, or include a favourite outfit as the seasons change.

Save the pictures in a baby album, share them with family or print them together for a first-birthday display. Afterwards, the wooden cards can stay with the photographs and other first-year memories. The personalised detail also makes the set a thoughtful newborn or baby shower gift when the name has been chosen.

Natural wood, care and use

Birch has its own grain and tone, and laser engraving naturally varies slightly between pieces. Keep the cards dry and dust gently with a soft dry cloth.

These are decorative photo props and keepsakes, not toys or teethers. Use only during supervised photographs, keep them away from your baby's mouth, remove them afterwards and store out of children's reach.
