How to Make a Creative Invitation for a Waterpark Birthday

A waterpark birthday can be fun for children of all ages. Birthday parties can be held at indoor or outdoor waterparks any time of year, which makes them a versatile choice for many families. According to Hotel Waterpark.com, the increase in the number of waterparks across the Northeast indicates a surge in visitors and popularity.

Things You'll Need

• 4 1/2-inch-by-6-inch white folded note cards and envelopes
• Word processor and printer
• Double-stick transparent tape
• 1 roll white paper towels
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Miniature stickers with a tropical, beach or luau theme (each sticker should be about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch in diameter)
• Blue flair-tip pen

Instructions

1. Make a party information insert. In a word processing document, type the following information in a 14 point font of your choice: reason for party, date and time, driving instructions (if necessary), RSVP instructions, and a contact phone number. Print out one insert for each invitation. Make sure that the insert does not total more than 3 1/2 inches by 5 inches after trimming. Use double-stick tape to secure the insert inside the blank note card.

2. 

   Prepare a miniature "towel" for each invitation by cutting paper towels into 2 1/2-inch-by-5-inch strips. After the strips are prepared, create "fringe" on each end by making small cuts at 1/4-inch intervals. (Each cut should be no longer than 3/4 inch.) Place stickers on "towel" in various spots to decorate.

3. 

   Decorate the front of the invitation by writing the word "Splash" across it with the blue flair pen. Mail your invitations.
