Make Barbie Invitations

A party with Barbie as the theme should start with invitations featuring the classic doll.


Whether you want to decorate your young daughter's birthday party with a Barbie theme or are having a party for an older gal who has fond childhood memories of Barbie, you'll want the invitations to match the party decor. Barbie-themed party invites can be simple to create and are a decorative preview of how colorful and enjoyable the actual party will be. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


Barbie card invitations


1. Select invitation stock paper in the color of your choice.


2. Fold the paper in the shape you want the invitations. For example, fold it in half so the invitation opens like a book, or choose tent-style so that it opens from the bottom.


3. Place the Barbie stencil on the front of the card. Trace the image with a colored pencil.


4. Color the stencil shape with the colors of your choice.


5. Write the words for the invitation with the calligraphy pen. The front of the card can say something such as "Come Party with Barbie" or "You're Invited to a Barbie Party!"


6. Write the party details inside the invitation. Include the time the party starts and ends as well as the address and date. If your little girl requests for each of the invitees to wear a specific color or dress up like their favorite Barbie, write this information in the invitation as well.


7. Seal each invitation with a Barbie sticker.

8. Purchase a Barbie doll for each individual who will be attending the party.


9. Buy several Barbie accessories to dress the dolls based on the personalities of the invitees. For instance, if you're having an intimate party with your closest friend, you can dress one Barbie in a business suit to represent your professional friend or in a bikini and sunglasses for a friend who loves going to the beach. If you're having a Barbie party for an occasion such as a bridal shower, dress each of the Barbies in the colors that your bridesmaids will wear for the wedding.


10. Write the details of the party on place cards with a calligraphy pen.


11. Punch a hole in the place cards. Run a piece of ribbon through each of the cards.


12. Tie the ribbon around Barbie's waist or wrist before giving these keepsake invitations to guests.
