I've been to Hallmark, Birthdays, Clintons, Crad Galore and moon pig, but there are no really large cards reading "To our Daughters 1st Birthday". Any suggestion welcome except ebay

You should definitely try to make one! It's actually a lot easier than it seems.
To make a really good one, you're probably best using: wrapping paper, large card, a matching or complementary coloured piece of small card, and a photograph of your daughter.
The easiest thing to decorate a large card is wrapping paper. Find yourself a nice bit of girly or baby birthday paper, or even just something with a nice pattern.
Next you'll need to get a big enough piece of card. Pop to your local art shop (Millers etc are usually good but I'm not sure where abouts you are). They usually sell card up to about A0 (which is huge - 16xA4!) in a variety of colours. If you can, try to get a coloured sheet - maybe something to match your wrapping paper.
Half the card, and use the wrapping paper to cover either all of it or a section of it as you wish.
Taking a photo of your daughter, stick it on to the small piece of corresponding card, and cut it out leaving a nice border all the way round. Now stick this on to the large card, and any other little printouts/magazine cutouts/cut out details from the wrapping paper.
The easiest way to get your message on is just to print it out. You should still have enough of yur small card to print a message onto, and you can just pick a nice font and include your daughter's name ("A very happy first birthday to our beautiful daughter..." or something!).
She will treasure it when she's older and it's cheap and easy to make, while looking really professional. I've included a picture to give you a rough idea!

I dont know where you are located but if you have a factory card outlet, they have them. Other than that there should be some card places at your local mall you could check out. I do like the idea of making your own as well. Maybe you could put different pictures of her in there from when she was first born through her 1st. Then tell her how big she has gotten, etc. You can do alot if you make your own.

I never saw one specifically for 1st birthday, but I used to get the giant ones at Walgreens or CVS(Eckerds) when my son was little. I would just take a marker, and personalize the one I could find!

Why dont you make one? Buy some card and sticky things! put sweets and feathers and glitter on it and stuff, I'm sure it will make a better keepsake and your daughter will laugh when she is older and looks back at what mummy and daddy made for her.
plus you and your wife will have great fun making it!
hapy birthday to your little angel anyway.

Make one with her favourite characters and personalise it.
If you're not very artistic, go online to the cbeebies website, and print off things to colour, paint, glitter etc..
It'll be REALLY fun!!
