What should be on a children's party invitation?
A children's party invitation is often the start of all the fun anticipation. Children look forward to it for weeks, and parents start planning. But what exactly goes on such a card? And how do you make sure it's cheerful, clear, and festive? In this blog, I'll tell you how I designed my birthday party invitations, what you'll find on them, and why they are so much more than 'just a card'.
Cheerful illustrations full of festivity
I have now created several different designs for party invitations. You can find them all in the children's party invitation collection. Each card is hand-illustrated and tells a little story. The main characters? Dachshund Frits and sometimes also runner duck Runner. They are inseparable and experience all sorts of festive adventures together. They are prominently featured in action on every party invitation.
On some cards, you see them running with garlands, 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 swirl around them. You can tell immediately: a party is on the agenda! And all of this on a cheerful card as an invitation to your fun party.
What is on the cards?
An invitation must, of course, be clear to the recipient. Therefore, each card includes 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? This information should not be missing from your children's party invitation.
📍 Location
Where will the party be held? At your home, in a playground, or perhaps in an indoor play paradise? Put it clearly on the invitation so no one has to search.
🎉 What will you be doing?
Do you need swimwear, or will you be taken home? What is good to know in advance? Your birthday party invitation is the place to mention it.
📞 Contact details
A parent will probably want to let you know if their child will be there. So, clearly include your phone number or email address on the party invitations.
You can easily fill in these details on the back of the children's party invitations. Meanwhile, the front does what it does best: radiate party spirit!
Neutral and cheerful: a suitable invitation for every child
What I found important when designing my cards is that they are neutral yet cheerful. Not too sweet or tough, so they are fun for all children. The colors are bright, the illustrations are playful, and there is attention to detail. This makes every children's party invitation 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 exudes fun. You can find them all in the children's party invitation collection.

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 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 musical notes is perfect for this as a children's party invitation.
🏴☠️ Pirate party – the cards with Frits dressed as a pirate fit wonderfully here. A fun twist on your children's party invitation.
Do you want to decorate the party further? Then my birthday cards and party cards also fit beautifully. Think of a card for the birthday boy/girl, a thank you card, or a cheerful extra for a treat – all in the same style as your children's party invitation.
The 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 to the touch and look beautiful – without losing their playful character. And I package each set with care, so you can confidently hand them out or send them. In each set of party invitations, you will find 8 cards and 8 envelopes.
A party invitation is therefore not only beautiful to look at, but also practical and sustainable to use. This way, you already shape the party in a fun way.
