Looking for the coolest birthday party ideas for kids?

Here are some festive and inexpensive ways to throw your deserving child a unique birthday party to be remembered by all!

Invitations

Handmade invitations are an affordable and fun way to spend time with your child and set the theme for their party.

Go simple.

Start with a durable type of paper (poster board, card paper), fold in half creating a card. Decorate the card with camouflage prints, pictures and print outs of army related material, or a photo of family members who have served in the Army!

Be sure to include contact and event information such as time, place, and any special requests. Make it fun by replacing "Time:" with "Check in time:" or "Place:" with "Rendezvous Point:", play up the wording to personalize the invitation.

To take it a step further turn the invitations into mini-parachutes! Simply use a hole punch to punch a hole in the top corner of the card, tie two pieces of equally cut string in the hole, on the other end of the string create a parachute by cutting a couple pieces of tissue paper into circles.

To top off these birthday party ideas for kids, add a plastic toy solider tied to the card!!!

Remember to send out invitations within a reasonable amount of time and always make a few extra in case they get lost upon delivery.
