Why Choose Farm Birthday Invitations
Farm animals and little kids are a great match. Whether it’s baby’s first birthday, your toddler’s last birthday before starting school or a tween’s entrance into double digits, a birthday party that features cows, pigs, horses and other barnyard creatures is big fun. The designs in our farm birthday invitation collection bring sweet homespun images to life through the creative vision of artists from around the globe. The iconic red and white checks of a tablecloth bring to mind meadow picnics and family suppers. Barns, tractors and horseshoes evoke a simpler time that mirrors the innocence of childhood. Choose farm birthday invitations to complement party decorations of hay bales, handkerchiefs, wildflowers and cowboy hats.
What Should I Include on My Kid’s Farm Birthday Invitations?
Crafting casual farm birthday invitations is not nearly as complicated as the wording on wedding invitations — but you still need to include specific information. Keep the language casual and simple, and consider choosing a sans serif font, which reads less formal than serif fonts. As you create your custom cards from our templates, remember these details:
- Who’s hosting - Mention whether the parents of the birthday person are hosting or another relative or a friend is taking that duty, alongside their contact info.
- When and where - Guests need to know where to show up, when they’re expected, how to dress and what to bring, like a covered dish or a gift.
- Who’s invited - For a kid’s farm themed birthday party, let parents know whether they are invited to join the festivities or should simply drop off their child.
- What refreshments will be there - Are you doing a barbecue but asking guests to bring their own beverages? Is this a potluck theme farm birthday party? Will there be alcohol for the adults or is it a dry event?
- How to RSVP - Make sure guests know the deadline for responding, then include both a phone number and an email address for RSVPs, which increases the likelihood of getting an accurate headcount.
Can Farm Birthday Invitations Be for Grownups?
Why not? Most of our farm invitations were designed with children in mind, but that doesn’t mean adults who are kids at heart won’t like them. If you’re throwing a barn themed birthday party for a grownup who refuses to grow up, these delightful creations featuring farm animals and natural elements in simple color palettes are a great choice. Minted lets you customize many parts of your chosen invites, from the font to the shape to the wording to the inclusion of matching thank you cards. Kids of all ages, including grownup kids, will love the down-home attitude and simple joy of farm-themed birthday invitations.
Choosing Birthday Invitations Around Farm Animals:
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by choosing farm birthday invitations that strike the right tone, we’ve got your back. Follow these five steps from the pros at Minted to design invitations that you and your little one will love — and your guests will cherish as adorable keepsakes.
- Start with the guest of honor’s favorite farm animal. Pick a pig at play or a cow jumping over the moon to set your little one’s party theme in motion.
- Take a color cue from Mother Nature. Customize your farm birthday invitations with the guest of honor’s favorite color, a hue that reveals their gender — or stick with primary colors for simplicity.
- Consider the shape of country living. You can select a shape for your invites that enhances your farm birthday theme. Scalloped edges resemble an antique picture frame, and rounded corners look more modern than squared options.
- If you are not sure about the designs, request free samples from Minted to see and feel the printed invitations yourself.
- Get fancy by adding extras. Who says a barn or farm theme can’t be fancy? Go for a rustic-chic effect by upgrading to foil-pressed lettering, add a photo of the birthday girl or boy to the invitations, personalize your envelopes with color or pre-printed addresses, or include a set of matching birthday favor tags and thank you cards.
