Child Birthday Party Invitation Ideas for Girls and Boys: What's Good for Him and What's Cute for Her
A child birthday party invitation should tell the guests what they can expect from the celebration, what they are supposed to wear and of course, whether the celebrant is a girl or a boy. The theme, which would be reflected in the invites, should emphasize whether the celebrant is a he or a she, particularly for guests who are not very familiar with the celebrant. Guests, after all, will be bringing gifts and you don't want Jenny to be inundated with footballs or Jack to be given a doll, right?
If you're at a loss as to how to design your son or your daughter's child birthday party invitation, just look at some of the suggestions below.
Invitation theme
The theme of the party should also be the theme of the invitations. For girls, dolls, fairies and cooking sets can be the highlight or the theme. Design the invitations using pictures of Barbie or fairies with tiny wings and magic wands. Cookery sets and doll houses are also good options.
For boys, toy trucks and trains, footballs and superheroes like Spider Man and Superman can be the central design of the invitations. You can ask the celebrant what his favorite football team or basketball team is and make invitations patterned after his favorite team's jersey.
Designs and colors
Colors are the best way to tell whether the celebrant is a girl or a boy. Pink is the most commonly favored color for girls, while blue is the choice for boys. You can also use yellow, red and green as accessory shades. Pastel colors will be more appropriate for girls, while darker shades are for boys. Just don't go too heavy on dark shades even if the celebrant is a boy, he is still a baby and would still love bright colors.
When it comes to designs, making invitations shaped like a football is a good option for boy celebrants. Or make invites shaped like a tuxedo that can be opened to see the information inside. Just add some goofy characters inside to emphasize his age. For girls, paper dolls carrying small envelopes with the invitation inside is a sound option. Design it with ribbons and flowers and everything that is cute and nice.
In making a child birthday party invitation for a girl or a boy, always seek the celebrant's preference. Quiz him or her about her favorite toys, pets, hobbies and sports teams and get your ideas from them. Trust me, little tots usually have the most creative and spectacular ideas!
