How to make invitation cards for children's birthday with your own hands
Where does the organization of any holiday begin?
Of course, with compiling a guest list. And when the list has already been compiled, it’s time for invitation cards. Here, many people take the simplest route - they buy ready-made cards in a store, sign them and send them out or give them to guests. This option is also possible if the birthday is just around the corner and there is no time to create a unique card design. But every parent wants their child’s holiday to be special, which means the option with standard invitations will not work. And the birthday boy himself will get a lot of pleasure from the process of creating invitation cards with his own hands for his own holiday. To get original and unusual cards, you need to make invitations for children's birthdays with your own hands. And it’s a good idea to use your imagination. We’ll just give you a few ideas for creating postcards that will inspire your creative process.
Menu
Don't forget about small but important details: napkins, skewers, disposable colored forks, straws and cocktail stirrers.
The main emphasis should be on the candy bar, and alternately decorated in seven colors.
Fruit salad - place fresh fruits and berries in cupcake tins
- in a red glass - strawberries;
- orange – apricot, peach, orange;
- yellow – pineapple, banana, melon;
- green – white grape varieties, kiwi;
- blue - blueberries;
- blue – plum;
- purple – figs, currants, grapes, blackberries, mulberries.
For older children, grind these fruits and berries in a blender and freeze them in molds - you get fruit ice cream on a stick.
Another option is “fruit skewers” - string all these fruits and berries onto large bamboo skewers. And third: make fruit slices .
Fruits on skewers, rainbow of berries
The colorful decoration of the candy bar will include pastry desserts such as cupcakes with cream, macaroons and cake pops . And the leader on this table will be the “Rainbow” birthday cake. Kids will love the surprise cake with chocolate M&M's inside. Multi-colored cakes will look fun.

Multilayer cups with jelly, M&M's dragees, marmalade, lollipops, colored juices frozen in layers on sticks, and ice cream will complete the sweet composition.
The rainbow party menu should also include hot dishes, salads and cold appetizers.
For the salad, take: red and orange tomatoes, peppers, corn, cucumbers, greens, red or black beans, some purple onions. Season with olive oil. Beautiful, healthy and rich in vitamins.
Watermelon pizza will please everyone. Cut the watermelon into circles, place fruits and berries on top. To make it more realistic, sprinkle with grated white chocolate or coconut flakes. The second pizza option is shortbread pie with fruit . Place fruits and berries on the shortcrust pastry crust in a rainbow sequence, as in a fruit salad, first brush it with sweet sour cream.

Many children are “Italian” at heart, cook them colored spaghetti with cheese . Boil, color with food coloring, and reheat before serving. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Use the dye when baking Viennese waffles (another name for “Belgian waffles”). Divide the dough into seven parts, color each one with its own color, and then pour it one by one into a baking dish.

For drinks, make colorful “baby cocktails” from Sprite or juice using food coloring. Insert straws, cocktail sticks, and umbrellas into the glasses, and complete the decoration with fruits and berries on the glasses.
Materials
Before you start creating, you need to acquire everything you need. Whichever option you choose, in any case you will need:
- cardboard or thick paper;
- scissors;
- glue;
- pens, pencils or markers.
If the design of the cards is planned to be non-standard and interesting, then you may also need: corrugated paper, bows, beads, ribbons, lace, sparkles. Well, in order to attach all this beauty, you need to have a glue gun, a hole punch, and a stapler on your household. This is not a complete list of materials that may be useful, but they will be quite enough to make beautiful invitation cards.
Preparation
Once the color and shape are chosen, it's time to start working on the cards. First of all, you need to buy the base material. It is better to choose thick paper or cardboard so that your invitation card does not wrinkle during transportation. If you make colored cards, choose colored cardboard - this way you won’t have to paint it the right color. Next, we take the template of the shape we chose the day before and trace it on cardboard. After this, all that remains is to cut out and the blanks for the postcards are ready.
Content
To fill out the postcard, you need to draw lines on the blanks in which we will write the text of the invitation. You can draw such lines by hand, or you can print them on a computer and stick them on top of the workpiece.
When there is room for text, you can begin to write the invitation text itself.
What must be included in an invitation?
- Date of the event. After all, the invitation itself is a message about when the celebration will take place. The guest may know when the birthday person has a birthday, but there are times when the celebration takes place on a different day, so the date must be communicated.
- Time spending. Another mandatory invitation requisite. Be sure to indicate the start time of the holiday.
- Location. Let it be your home or a children's cafe, in any case it is worth writing it down in a postcard. If you are celebrating in a cafe or restaurant, it is advisable to indicate its exact address so that the guest knows exactly where he needs to go.
Invitation text
We already know the main components of the text, but a creative approach to the text adds originality to the invitation. Here are some examples of unusual invitations:
- Beautiful princess! Come to our birthday ball…….which will take place…..at……
- Secret message to a secret agent...... We are waiting for you at the intelligence meeting in honor of the Birthday.......
- Hello, my friend! I'm waiting for you on a fun birthday, which I will celebrate...in...Come, it will be fun!
Depending on the chosen theme of the holiday, you can come up with your own version of the text.

Invitation templates
If you don't have the time or ability to create cards, but want original invitations for a child's birthday, templates will come to your aid. You just need to print them out, enter your text, and the cards are ready.
These templates are suitable for a girl's birthday. Delicate, in pink tones, with hearts and flowers, little guests will definitely like them.
But such cards would be appropriate for a little gentleman’s birthday. The first option is automotive themed, the second and third are more neutral.
This card is suitable for both a boy and a girl, so if your guest list includes children of both sexes, then take this universal option.
This option is suitable for those who do not have a color printer at home. Black and white cards will look stylish, but if you wish, you can paint them by hand. This design option is simple and your birthday boy will like it.
Invitations
A good party starts with invitations. And if they also come with sweets, the delight of the little guests is guaranteed! Make bright cards with seven colors of the rainbow and white clouds, and always with a delicious surprise. You can make it yourself or order it from a printing house.
Here are some DIY options:
Invitation in the form of a rainbow popping out of an envelope
- take an A4 sheet and make an envelope measuring 8*12 cm from it. Where the envelope closes, round the edges in the shape of a cloud. Make a rainbow out of colored paper and fold it like an accordion. If you don't have colored paper, color the white paper with pencils, markers, or paints, or use satin ribbons. Glue a white paper cloud to one edge, and glue the other end into an envelope. Trace the edges of the cloud with a black marker and write on it the text of an invitation to a rainbow party with the date, time, location and dress code. Tie a rainbow lollipop to the envelope, after making holes for it;
- one of the “lazy” invitation options. Take inflatable balloons in all the colors of the rainbow. Buy multi-colored candies in transparent packaging, and put 7 candies in each ball - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. On a colored sticky note, write an invitation about your upcoming rainbow birthday. And then inflate the balloon, already with candies and a small note inside. Tie confetti with satin or paper ribbon so that the color matches the ball. Write “Rainbow Party” or “Rainbowparty” on the balloon with a marker. The balloons must be distributed personally to each guest. When they burst it, the scattered candies will be a pleasant surprise;
- the third option is good for those who do not like to “mess around” with paper. Just hand out “a bucket of cake.” To do this, buy decorative colored buckets about 5 cm in diameter in appropriate colors. Write an invitation on them with black acrylic paint, and put a rainbow-colored cake pop in the middle. Order it in transparent packaging, or wrap it yourself with cling film (so it doesn’t get dirty), and tie a ribbon. On the bucket, indicate that its color matches the color of the guest's suit. Children will definitely be delighted with such a delicious invitation;
- The fastest invitations can be made at a printing house. They can design a card with text, and all you have to do is attach a candy or lollipop to it. Thematic designs will be the following: a rainbow with white clouds, a balloon or ice cream on a stick with horizontal stripes of seven colors, a daisy in the form of a seven-flowered flower, multi-colored caps from large to small, going down to the text on a white background, or simply smoothly transitioning colors of the rainbow all over the card with text.
