Marshallese Kemem Photo Invitation, Editable Canva or PowerPoint Template, Moon Photo First Birthday Invite, Lavender Lagoon Canoe Evite

Iakwe! In Marshallese families, the baby's photo usually goes right on the kemem (first-birthday) invitation, so this set is built around your little one's picture.

This design places your baby's photo inside a glowing full moon over a lavender, peach and navy night lagoon, with palm silhouettes and an outrigger sailing canoe on the water. The script "Kemem", "First Birthday" and "One year of joy, laughter & love" finish it with a soft, dreamy feel. The canoe is an original drawing inspired by Marshallese outrigger canoes.

The designs are made by S9T Vibes, the creative brand of Marshallese artist SupaMarioS9T, and are inspired by Mario's Marshallese roots. The wording mixes English with short Marshallese phrases (Iakwe, Karuwainene, Iakwe aolep, Kommol tata).
