Personalised Baby Milestone Cards

Keep a little record of a very big year with personalised baby milestone cards. Flowing engraved lettering, delicate leafy branches and pale natural wood give this botanical set a simple, coordinated look for your baby's monthly photographs. Add their name for a keepsake that belongs to their own first-year story.

These are double-sided wooden photo cards: twelve monthly milestones are engraved across six cards, with the personalised name design completing the collection. Turn to the right milestone each month, place it beside your little one for a supervised photograph, and build a series of memories from the first month to the first birthday.

A botanical design for monthly baby photos

The leaf illustrations sit at the upper right and lower left of each circular card, framing the words without taking over the picture. Dark laser engraving contrasts with natural birch, making the month clear against cream blankets, soft knits and plain backgrounds. The letters and botanical details are engraved into the wood, with no raised or painted lettering.

The monthly wording runs from One month through Eleven months, finishing with One year. The first-birthday card marks twelve months; it is not an additional milestone beyond the first year. Using the same design throughout makes it easy to bring the photographs together in an album or birthday display.

What is included

• 12 monthly milestones on 6 double-sided wooden cards.
• A personalised name design engraved with the baby's name you enter.
• Matching calligraphy and engraved botanical branches throughout.
• Natural birch plywood, approximately 10 cm diameter and 3 mm thick per card.

The personalised name and monthly designs are shown in the gallery. Photography props, clothing, flowers and blankets are styling accessories and are not included.

How to personalise your name card

1. Enter the name in the required Baby's name field.
2. Type it exactly as you would like it engraved, including capital letters, accents or a hyphen.
3. Check the spelling carefully before adding the set to your basket.

Example: Baby's name: Amelia. The personalised design will read Amelia, surrounded by the same engraved leafy details. Erlio and Amelia in our photographs are examples; we use the name you submit and do not add an example name automatically.

The personalisation applies to the name design. The monthly wording stays standard, and your baby's name is not repeated on each monthly marker. Letter size and spacing may be adjusted to suit the name. For several names, unusually long wording or a specific layout, please contact us before ordering so we can check what will fit.

From their first month to their first birthday

A plain blanket and gentle daylight are enough for a lovely monthly photograph. Pick a comfortable spot, place the relevant card beside your baby within the frame, and keep the background similar each month if you would like a matching series. Photograph the name design separately for an introduction or include it in a keepsake flat lay.

Save the photographs in a baby book, print them for grandparents or bring the full year together in a first-birthday collage. Once the year is complete, the wooden cards can be kept with other first-year memories.

A personalised gift for new parents

The neutral wood and botanical design suit a wide range of nursery colours and photo styles. They make a thoughtful newborn or baby shower gift when the name has been chosen. If you are buying as a surprise, double-check the exact spelling before ordering.

Natural wood and care

Each card is laser cut and engraved from birch plywood. Wood grain, tone and engraving naturally vary, so the finish may differ slightly from the photographs. Keep the cards dry and dust gently with a soft dry cloth.

Use for supervised photographs and decoration only. These wooden keepsakes are not toys or teethers. Keep them away from your baby's mouth, remove them after photographs and store out of children's reach.
