Children's party invitations usually have a short life cycle: they get written up, sent, hung on a fridge and discarded. For your child's Noah's Ark birthday party, get creative with invitations that also serve as party favors. No matter which creative invitation idea you choose, be sure to send your Noah's Ark birthday invitations out early. Send invitations three weeks before the party, according to the Martha Stewart website. Hand deliver or use bubble envelopes to mail these various shaped invitations. Does this Spark an idea?
Mini Books
If your birthday party theme is based on the biblical Noah's Ark story, share the story in your invitations. Purchase little children's story books about Noah's Ark from a Christian bookstore. Purchase Noah's Ark themed book marks or make bookmarks out of construction paper with yarn tassels. Write the party information on the bookmarks and enclose with the books.
Coloring Books
If you have trouble finding mini Noah's Ark books, look for Noah's Ark or animal themed coloring books. Wrap a small eight-pack of crayons in plain construction paper. Write the party invitation information on the outside of the box. Tape the box of crayons to the coloring book for a unique Noah's Ark party invitation.
