By colour palette

No matter what theme you have planned, colour palette is what really ties everything together for your kids birthday party. Use the same set of colours from your kids party invitations to your party decor and for other bits and pieces in between to keep it all together. You might use one colour in different shades (e.g. green everything!) or use a combination (e.g. blush and navy blue), and you may pick the colour based on your kid’s favourite colour or on the theme you have chosen. For example, a beach-themed birthday party might call for blues and yellows, while a space-themed party might be best with a black, white and silver colour combination. 

 

By gender

Traditionally girly or masculine birthday parties are extremely popular for little kids. If you’ve got a little girl who loves all things feminine, you might be looking for girls invites with lots of pink and florals, along with lace, ruffles and bows. For little boys invites, you might be considering lots of blue and green, geometric designs and motifs like tools, construction, dinosaurs and similar things. This gendered approach isn’t for everybody, but it can be a dream come true for the right child!

 

By print type

From a simple, affordable digital print to a lavish letterpress and real foil combination print, your choice of print type can make all the difference to your kids invitations. Choose your print type based on aesthetics and on your budget, and you won’t go wrong. Popular options include foil, letterpress, raised foil, print on wood, white ink, metallic ink, and photo cards. 

 

Personalised kids birthday invitations

Kids invitation templates

If you’re planning a kids birthday party on a tight budget, you might consider finding kids birthday invitation templates online and printing them yourself at home. There are both paid and free options around the internet that let you fill in your own information and then print. Is this a good option for you? It can be, but it’s a good idea to make sure you weigh up all the pros and cons before you make your decision. 

Remember to factor in the cost of ink, paper and envelopes, as well as the time required to print the invitations. Give yourself a buffer in case of any errors in printing. It’s also worth considering that the range of designs available as free templates online is much smaller than if you are ordering from a stationery company, so be prepared to compromise on style. You also will give up the option for premium printing options like real foil or letterpress, which need specialised equipment. If you’ve considered all these things but can’t go past the savings in your budget, that’s totally fine! We even offer some free birthday invitation templates online here at Paperlust.
