What should be on a children's party invitation?
An invitation to a children's party is often the starting signal for all the anticipation. Children look forward to it for weeks and parents start planning. But what exactly is on such a card? And how do you make sure it is cheerful, clear and festive? In this blog I will tell you how I designed my children's party invitation, what you will find on it and why it is so much more than 'just a card'.
Cheerful illustrations full of festive joy
I have now made eight different designs for the children's party invitations. You can find them all in the collection children's party invitations . Each card is illustrated by hand and actually tells a little story. The main characters? Dachshund Frits and sometimes also runner duck Runner. They are inseparable and experience all kinds of festive adventures together. On every children's party invitation they are in full action.
On some cards you see them running with streamers, balloons and party hats. On other cards they are preparing for a musical party: Frits carries a birthday cake on his back and Runner strums his guitar while musical notes and stars flutter around them. You can see right away: there is a party on the program here! And all that on a cheerful children's party invitation.
What's on the cards?
A children's party invitation should of course be clear to who receives it. That is why each card contains space for the following information:
🕓 Date & Time on the children's party invitation
When is the party? From what time can friends come and what time will they be picked up again? These details should not be missing from your children's party invitation.
📍 Location
Where is the children's party being held? At your home, in a playground or perhaps in an indoor play paradise? Make it clear on the children's party invitation, so no one has to search.
🎉 What are you going to do?
Do you need swimwear or will you be taken home? What is good to know in advance? Your children's party invitation is the place to mention it.
📞 Contact details
A parent will probably want to let you know if their child is there. So clearly state your phone number or email address on the children's party invitation.
These parts can easily be filled in on the back of the children's party invitations. In the meantime, the front does what it does best: radiate party!
Neutral and cheerful: a suitable invitation for every child
What I found important when designing my cards is that they are neutral but cheerful. Not too sweet or tough, so that they are fun for all children. The colours are bright, the illustrations playful and there is attention to detail. That makes every children's party invitation also suitable for different ages - whether your child is turning 5 or 9.
And whether you choose the card with Runner and Frits on their way to the party, or the design where Frits has transformed into a unicorn – every card breathes fun. You can find them all in the collection invitation children's party .
The invitations fit perfectly with a festive theme
Many parents choose a theme for the party, such as music, animals or adventure. The cards from the children's party invitation collection fit in well with this:
🐾 Animal Friends – Frits and Runner are a party in themselves, perfect for an animal themed children's party invitation.
🎶 Music party / Disco – the card with the guitar and music notes is perfect as a children's party invitation.
🏴☠️ Pirate party – the cards with Frits dressed as a pirate fit in perfectly. A fun twist on your children's party invitation.
Do you want to dress up the party further? Then my birthday cards and party cards also fit nicely. Think of a card for the birthday boy or girl, a thank you card or a cheerful extra for the treat - all in the same style as your children's party invitation.
Children's party invitations: sustainably printed and lovingly packaged
All cards from my 'children's party invitation' collection are printed on sturdy, environmentally friendly paper with a beautiful matte finish. They feel nice and look luxurious - without losing their playful character. And I package each set with care, so you can hand it out or send it with peace of mind. In each set of the children's party invitation collection you will find 8 cards and 8 envelopes.
A children's party invitation is not only beautiful to look at, but also practical and durable in use. This is a fun way to shape the party.
