Magic Party Invitations
Start making your own magic party invitations of cardstock and make a pocket card that looks like a magic top hat. Next, cut out a white rabbit shape and glue the bottom inch to the back of the hat, making it look like the rabbit is coming out of the top of the hat. After that, write out the important magical party details (time, place, RSVP, etc.) on the rabbit. In addition add a cute magical expression on the top hat or rabbit like:
- “With a tip of the hat … there will be magic and dreams come true at ___’s birthday party”.
- “Abracadabra the magic is about to begin”
Magic Party Supplies & Decorations
- Use the color theme blue, red and silver
- Hang silver twisted with blue or red streamers
- Hang twinkle lights
- Hang stars from the ceiling. Make them with cardstock paper or cardboard. Spray with spray paint, and add glitter line around the outside
- Have large framed cards on the walls (you can paint these yourself with an artistic approach with random paint splatters), having at least one of each suit (heart, spade, diamond, and club).
- Use black top hats as party hats
- Make large die pieces out of big square cardboard boxes. Create three by painting the outside with black, red, and white. Then, using a real dice as reference, glue construction paper circles (different from the base color) onto the die.
