Invitations
Print the letters of the birthday guests on the front of solid
color blank cards. Punch out their initials from several
places on the card with initial hole punches so the white from
the inside of the card shows through. Include the
hole punches in the card as confetti.
In the invitation ask guests to dress in as many items as they
can which start with the first names of the guests of honor.
Example: If your the party initials are J and T guests
could dress in - jeans, jewelry, t-shirt, top hat ... etc.
Give a prize for the most items worn. (Make sure the prize
starts with the letter of their first names! ) |
Decorations
Decorate in colors that correspond to the letters of the first names.
Try this great color chart that list all the colors alphabetically.

You can also go crazy and decorate in objects that correspond with their
first names such as - Hula Hoops for H, Bears and Balloons for B, Jacks
for J, ... etc.
Decorate with balloons, streamers and confetti on the table. For
younger children's parties scatter confetti on the table and then cover
with a clear plastic table cloth.
Fun Ideas
For the birthday children make a birthday shirt with the letter of their
first name and their age by cutting out large letters and numbers and
ironing them onto a t-shirt.

into teams and assign each team a letter. Tell them to find

Activities

Let the guests paint picture frames (or have them pre-painted before the
party starts to save time) and then decorate with glitter, jewels and
letters of their first names. Buy a large container of foam
letters so everyone will be able to decorate with their first name
letter.
