Invite guests to your puppy-themed birthday party with puppy invitations.
Plan a puppy-themed birthday party for your child if puppies are one her favorite things. Carry out your puppy theme through all elements of the birthday party including invitations, decorations, games and the birthday cake. Invitations will give your guests a hint of what to expect at the party. Make your own invitations to ensure a one-of-a-kind result that excites potential guests about your child's puppy-themed party.
Puppies and Paws
Create invitations in the shape of puppy-related items or in the shape of an entire puppy. Use stencils if you aren't artistically gifted to draw and cut a puppy shape out of cardstock. The invitation can open to reveal the birthday party details, and the outside can be colored. Use a piece of ribbon as the puppy's collar. The invitation could also be shaped like a puppy's head with a long tongue hanging out of its mouth, or a big paw-print.
In the Doghouse
Create a doghouse out of cardstock or construction paper. Cut a small piece of paper into the shape of a puppy's head or use black paper to look like the empty entrance into the house. Fold the top of the paper, and glue it in place at the opening of the doghouse. This little flap can open to reveal the party details. The details can be on the backside of the flap with a puppy in the doghouse, or they can be in the doghouse opening. Make a sign at the top of the doghouse saying, "It's Derrick's 3rd birthday!"
Bones
Make the invitation in the shape of a bone, or embellish the invitation with bones. Spread bone stickers or stamps all over a plain invitation to incorporate your puppy theme. Or, cut bones out of construction paper and punch two small holes in the top of the middle of the bones. Secure the little bones to a four-by-six inch card with corresponding holes punched out by threading a ribbon through the holes and tying it on top of the bone. Write the child's name or "You're invited" on the bone so it's the first thing guests see. Fill in the party information on the card under the bone.
Wording
Play with the wording to include puppy-related terms. Coolest Kid Birthday Parties suggests writing "Janie is 35! (in dog years, that is)" for a 5-year-old, or using the following verse: "Come join us for some puppy chow and a howlin' good time. We'll frolic in the sun, and it's sure to be a 'pawfect' day and some doggone fun!"
Instead of "address," write "kennel" or "doghouse" and include the address of the party location. Kids' Birthday Party Guide offers the following puppy invitation wording: "Come wag your tail and wiggle your ears to celebrate Shawn's 3rd birthday!"
