Barnyard Bash! Farm Party Ideas for a Moo-velous Child's Birthday Party




Want to celebrate a special day down on the farm? Start with an E-I-E-I-Oh-so-cute invite from paperlicious.com Always farm-friendly made from 100% recycled fiber papers. Try the frogs, ladybugs, sheep, or be bold with this hip cowhide design.


Welcome guests to your family farm by transforming your door into a barn door with cardboard. All you need is a large piece of cardboard, red paint or paper, and white paint or white duct tape to create the "X" outline on the door.

Play Barnyard Hide and Seek. Only the animals are hiding and the children have to round them back up and herd them into the barn. You can turn any carboard box into a barn by covering with red paper or painting it red. Tear off the shorter 2 flaps and use the longer 2 as the barn doors. It can be as simple or elaborate as you want. Have stuffed animal cows, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, dogs, ducks, horses, etc. If you don't have or want a lot of stuffed animals lying around, you could pick up some plastic or wooden farm animals at any toy store.

For a thoughtful favor, gather some small farm animal themed childrens books like "Moo, Baa, La, La, La," by Sandra Boynton or "Big Red Barn" by Margaret Wise Brown. For older children try the Doreen Cronin series "Click, Clack Moo, Cows that Type." Have one book for each guest tied up in colorful bandanas and hanging from a low tree branch where guests can "pick" their prize as the party ends.

Don't forget to send your guests a hip hoe-down thank you with your Paperlicious thank you stationery.

Make Waves At The Best Pool Party Ever! Pool Party Ideas & Pool Party Invitations


Memorial Day has come again, welcoming the official start of the swimming season. That means it's time to start planning your summer pool party, and paperlicious.com is here to help. Planning something for younger kids and their parents? Use a fish or aquarium theme and choose this super cute clownfish invite.


Boys are sure to love this gnarly surfboard-Dude, it's totally cool.



And for the socially savvy girls out there who just want to have fun with their friends, send out these cute beach blanket and bathing suit invites in bright summery shades of pink. Be sure to check out paperlicious.com for even more summer fun options.

No matter the theme, everyone loves a pool party, and these simple tips will help you make a wave that your guests won't forget!

Safety first, folks. Especially with kids around water. Be sure to go over house rules with guests before the water fun begins and have a first aid kit on hand. If you can't have a certified lifeguard, it would be great if some parents could stick around to help out when you have to step inside for food and party supplies. Have sunscreen available around the pool and remind kids to re-apply. Offer water bottles and sports drinks in ice buckets or coolers to keep everyone hydrated.

Since the main focus of the party is the pool, it will take care of most of the entertainment for you. It's a good idea to have a couple party games planned as well. For older kids, buy a large inflatable floating animal, like a duck or a shark. We like this one from prankplace.com. One kid gets onto the animal from outside the pool and immediately raises one arm above his or her head. The goal is to stay on the animal for eight seconds, like a bull rider in a rodeo. The challenge is that everyone else in the pool is creating waves and other commotion to knock the rider off (without making physical contact).
For a younger crowd, float two buckets in the center of a round innertube and divide kids into 2 teams. Now dump a large bag of ice cubes into the pool and see which team can get the most ice cubes into their respective buckets in a given amount of time.


Keep your menu kid friendly and simple. Have homemade whole fruit popsicles on hand. We're drooling over the recipes on this kids' cooking site. Try to avoid foods that require refrigeration or that contain milk products as they could upset kids' stomachs in the heat. Have a simple pasta salad and chips to go with grilled hot dogs or sandwiches.

For fun, set some waterproof disposable cameras around the pool and let kids take pictures that you can develop and send to them along with a thank you card from paperlicious.com to match the invitations you chose.
