Kids Party Invitation Ideas

Your child’s birthday is coming up, that means you need to start preparing the invitations for everyone they want to invite. If you need some ideas you are in the right place. Does your child have any ideas of what they want the party theme to be? If they do you may want to create the invitations to match the theme. So let’s look at some ideas that your child is sure to love.

Tea Party Theme

For a tea party theme you can go to a department or dollar store and buy some plastic tea cups. Create some small invitations with all the party information; be sure to mention that all teddy bears are welcome. Use a fancy font and maybe some lacy around the edges. Place the invitation in the cup alone with a few cookies wrapped.

Princess and Prince Theme

Find a castle image, paste it to your document, stretch it to fit the whole page, or how ever big you want the invitations, and make it semi-transparent. Then create your message, here is a sample that you could get some ideas from: Hear Ye! Hear Ye! All Princes and Princesses from across the land, are gathering for an event that's truly grand! You are cordially invited to Mandy’s Royal Birthday Celebration! For pizza, fun, and more! Please have your carriage drop you off at (your address), Festivities starts on October 8th at 3 PM, Your presence would be truly honored! All kings and queens are welcomed also. You may want to use parchment paper to give it the authentic feel. Then roll them up like scrolls and tie with a ribbon or lace.

Pirate Theme

For this one you can create a map using your computer, create a made up land with some landmarks, mountains, water and of course a hidden treasure (Deadman’s Swamp, Pirate’s Cove). Then print them out, you can chose to print on the economy setting so it appears faded to add a little extra affect. Next you want to create the party information; Ahoy there matey! Pirate Captain Evan is turning three! So join us for a Pirate Birthday Party! A sailor's lunch and a pirate cake will also be there for your pleasure! Come if you dare to Joel’s Pirate Party. We need shipmates to swab the deck, walk the plank and look for pirate treasure. We set sail on January 1st at 3PM, Pier located at (address). Then for a little extra flare you can wipe the edges of the paper with a damp tea bag, let the paper dry then (while the kids aren’t watching) burn the edges of the paper. You can then roll them up and tie them with rope, or place them each in a bottle with some pirate confetti and some shells made a few gold raped pieces of chocolate if you can find small ones. For the bottle you can also create a label, get black address labels and draw a skull and crossbones on them, or anything else you can think of. A root beer bottle works great for this idea.

Airplane Theme

Create a plane ticket invitation. Make up an airline name with your child’s name in it, for example AdamAir or Samantha Airlines – The official Birthday Party Airline. Also create a neat logo for the cover too. Then on the inside put additional flight information: snack and meal services will be offered, please contact agent to confirm or cancel reservation, flight time, arrival location, passenger limited to two carry on parents, anything else you want to add. Use a dot matrix font for an authentic felling. You can place a bar code at the bottom and then under it you can say something like SAMANTHAISTURNING#ONJAN012009.

Have fun with your invitations and let your kids help too if they would like. They will be very happy with the outcomes.
