Brainstorm with your child

First of all, kids birthday invitations should reflect your child’s personality so this is an important part of the process. Find out what colors that he/she wants and if they want a certain theme such as a favourite show or video game. Choosing a theme that all of the kids will enjoy is always a great choice and your child will be unable to contain themselves as they are handing them out.

Let the fun begin

Card stock or construction paper works best for kids birthday party invitations and you can make them just one sided or fold it in half to make an opening invitation. You will want to make sure that the card will fit into an envelope so before you get carried away with decorating, save yourself the trouble by ensuring that your kids birthday invitation will fit into the envelope first.

Decoration time

Now it is time to decorate the kids birthday invitations. You can use markers, or glue shapes that you have cut out of other coloured card stock, or you can use some stickers. Depending on what the kids birthday party themes are, you can find things to use to decorate anywhere, just use your imagination.

Make it personal

While you are decorating the kids birthday invites make sure that you have left enough space to be able to write on them. You will want to write something personal on each one such as, “You’re Invited to Bobby’s Birthday Party” or “Come to Bobby’s Birthday Party on June 11”. Make sure that the date of the party is noticeable otherwise you may find that a lot of kids will say that they are coming and then at the last minute cancel because they had other plans. Also make sure that the address is on the card and a phone number where the parents can reach you. More information on the card will mean that the birthday party will go more smoothly. You should try and be extra careful when it comes to first birthday invitations because the moms that will receive them may not be used to it!

Birthday invitations can be a lot of fun to make and also receive. Just make sure that you do them in the style that your child wants; that way there will be much more excitement as they hand them out.

What could be better than spending the day with your child by making kids birthday invitations? This article will list the steps to do so and will give some advice on how to plan for the big day smoothly and make your own kids birthday party invitations.

Putting a simple personalized crochet baby blanket in a frame and hanging it on the wall can be such a beautiful way of remembering these times. I went over to my friend’s house and she showed me the framed baby blankets and they look amazing. The frame is one of the larger ones and the blankets are folded and pressed so that they aren’t lumpy looking. These organic baby blankets are folded tightly so that they generally look as though they are very thin so that they can fit inside the frame. She has them hung up in her home office. She says that they bring her inspiration when she is writing. She actually writes for a living about parenting so I guess the framed blankets can really help her in remembering her days of parenting. Whenever she has writer’s block or is trying to come up with an idea she just looks at a baby blanket and lets the memories come. It must work because she has actually won a couple of awards for her writing.

I went home afterwards and went up to the attic to find my son’s blankets. I just sat there for about twenty minutes smelling them and thinking about when he was a newborn. I am going to go to buy a frame tomorrow and place the blankets inside it. I was thinking about hanging them in the spare room that we have, who knows, maybe it will bring us some luck so that we can have another baby again. It surely couldn’t hurt now could it?

Baby blankets can bring back a lot of memories of your children and having them close by can bring you comfort. Framing your baby blankets can be a wonderful idea if you want to remember all of the good times while your kids were newborns.
