Ideas for Interactive Birthday Invitations

Interactive birthday invitations would be a fun break from boring old cards that do nothing more than open and shut! If you want your invitation to be memorable, insert a little more creativity into the task of making it; that little something extra is sure to help convince other people to attend the event itself.

Arguably, it is children who would benefit the most from interactive birthday invitations. Children's party invitations are ideally designed to be fun and enticing. Standard rainbow colors and cartoon characters on the cover have become so boring! Popup images and differently-shaped cards that can be played with over and over would be an exciting change of pace.

Adults can have fun with interactive birthday invitations too. Cut out parts of the cover so they would open and shut, revealing details about the party itself on an inside page. If you have a stock of clever jokes, they would help make for effective wording on the inside of the card.

If you're more on the tech side, consider making Flash game invitations, then sending them off by email. Of course, you will have to find some way to alert the people who will receive the invitations that the file you are sending them is not a virus. You can also burn your animated invitations, whether or not they come with games, onto mini-CDs that you can give away. This is quite economical as you can get mini-CDs cheaper in bulk! However, the email route is still far more practical. Why pay for CDs or even paper, when people can just log in and view the invitations online?

Alternatively, you can upload your Flash game onto a website, then just mail off the URL - along with a special password or a clue to make the game more fun. In fact, making an online invitation is quite practical. As a lot of people can go online these days, they can instantly confirm over the Web if they can or cannot make it to the gathering. And how can they not go, when faced with attractive ideas for interactive birthday invitations?
