Before party time arrives, invitations must be sent out. Not only do they give guests all of the party particulars, but they also tend to set the tone for the party. Invitations for children's parties allow for a bit of cleverness and cuteness and not necessarily a great amount of expense. - Take stock of your art supplies, and get crafty to create some homemade party invitations. A supply of construction paper, card stock paper, stickers and markers or crayons will serve well to create one-of-a-kind invitations that you can make with your child. To further personalize the invite, add a recent picture of your child.
- It's easy to create invitations to coordinate with any theme or even your child's favorite character by using printables available on many websites. Popular children's sites such as nickjr.com and disney.com have a number of printables featuring various characters from popular children's shows. For invitations that focus more on a theme, such as a dinosaur or princess, kid-birthday-parties.com (see resources) offers a range of printables and unique ideas for invitations. Use card stock paper for printing on either colored or white paper. Then help your child color or paint the pages, and then fold. Affix a mailing seal on the bottom and that alleviates the need for envelopes. Simply affix some postage and labels--or, if your child can write legibly, allow him to help addressing the invitations. Writing the return address, at the least, is good practice for writing his address.
- Even young kids tend to be computer literate, and with the help of an adult they may enjoy creating online invitations. Save some paper and postage by using one of the many online sites designed specifically for sending party invitations and managing guest lists.
