Children's birthday invitations - for a real holiday

Rules of good manners prescribe visiting only by invitation. An exception can be made for close relatives. If you think that an invitation to a children's birthday is a boring piece of paper with a standard text or an unpleasant procedure for communicating on the phone, uninteresting, but mandatory, then this is a big delusion. Traditions and rules are good, but it's so nice to dilute them with your individuality. How to do it? Lots of options:

How unusual to invite children to a holiday


The same applies to texts - avoid standard invitations, because each holiday is unique in its own way, so we will leave the official style for events of the same level. However, even the most unusual invitations should be absolutely clear so that guests do not rack their brains on the topic “What? Where? When?".

Invitations should be sent in advance so that guests plan their free time. This shows both tact and your respect for friends and relatives, confirmation that they are really welcome on your holiday.

At heart, we are always a little children, so we take scissors in our hands and make do-it-yourself invitations for a children's birthday.

Step-by-step instruction


Invitations for a boy's children's birthday may look like a monkey, a butterfly or a boat. If your child has already mastered the basics of needlework and knows how to work with scissors, it is interesting to make holiday invitations with him. Add elements of the game to joint creativity - draw a monkey template and let the child circle it and cut it out with you.

The monkey can be dressed up. Entrust the kid to color the shirt (or T-shirt) on the hanger. Now you need to write the text of the invitation on it (that's what it is intended for).
If there are special metal blocks (you can always buy them in craft supplies stores), you can revive our monkey by cutting out all the paws separately and fixing them with rivets. Take the smallest, large holes are not needed for such an invitation. Put the blocks in the right places and clamp them with pliers - a “live” invitation toy will be much more interesting. A kind, cheerful monkey will surely bring a smile not only to a small guest, but what else is needed for an original invitation?

In the video, a child makes invitations to a children's birthday for a girl with his own hands, but this option is also quite acceptable for a boy.
