Birthday party invitation ideas: dora
It's interesting:"During my research - and yes, believe it or not, this was researched - I looked into the three key elements of a wedding day: first, the aisle, the longest walk ..."
If your little one loves watching "Dora the Explorer" on TV, chances are she'll enjoy a birthday party where Dora and her friends are the main theme. To give your little girl's friends an indication of how fun the party will be, you can put together some invitations that feature Dora, as well as the items and characters that are well-known from the animated series.
Does this Spark an idea?
Themed Dora Invites
Send invitations that show Dora in various situations or scenery, to match the theme of the birthday party. Visit the Nick Jr. website to print invitations of Dora at the beach or in a castle. Or, create these types of backdrops yourself on the cover of the invitation by using items such as blue cellophane for water or bronze glitter to form the stones of the castle. Download and print an image of Dora, and glue the image onto the invitation in the position that you want. Include Spanish phrases on the invitation as well, such as "Es invitado" (You're invited) or "Feliz cumpleanos" (Happy birthday).
Map Invitations
Create invitations that resemble The Map, a character on Dora the Explorer that helps her reach her destinations. Print the image of The Map (a piece of paper in the shape of a scroll with eyes and a mouth) in the corner of the invitations, and use bright colors that are common on "Dora the Explorer," such as yellow and green, to create the map to your home that will decorate the bottom of the invitation. Or, include all the invitation details on sturdy paper, and roll the paper into a scroll to resemble The Map. Add plastic googly eyes to the front of the map, as well as a piece of black felt in the shape of a mouth. Tie the map invitations together with a piece of yarn or string and hand them out to guests.
Backpack Invitations
Backpack (or "mochilla") is another one of Dora's sidekicks that children love. Create backpack invitations by using purple stock paper. Cut purple straps for the backpack and glue them to the back of the paper. Use googly eyes and a piece of red felt for Backpack's mouth to create the character's face. Write the invitation details underneath Backpack's face or on the underside of the invitation in between the straps. Or, purchase mini purple backpacks from the local craft store. Hot glue the eyes and mouth onto the backpack, and place a small card inside with all of the details for the party, such as the date of the event, what time it will start and a small map to your home.
