Cat Birthday Party Invitations

Add another flourish of creativity when you invite your cat's friends (and yours) to the big event. Embellish a pack of ordinary commercial invitations with photos of your cat. Use a digital camera and snap a variety of poses if possible, then print wallet-sized versions to cut out and paste on the front or inside the invitation. Add a cute caption ("Feline like celebrating? Me too!") along with the party details. If you're requesting donations for a cat rescue group or shelter, offer suggestions for needed items. Are cats among the guests? Address the invitation to the cat, care of his or her human. Remind the cat owner that his feline companion will need to arrive in a carrier.
If you prefer to make your own, cut out cat shapes from construction paper, or use a paw-print or cat-shaped rubber stamp and inkpad, a touch of glitter, a colorful felt-tip pen and plain cardstock to create unique invitations. Print images of cats and kittens, or Garfield, Sylvester, Hello Kitty or the Cat in the Hat, and paste them on the invitations. Put words in the mouths of these famous felines for an added chuckle when guests receive their invitations.
For a final cat-like touch, use cat postage. The U.S. Post Office offers shelter pet-themed stamps that feature several sweet-faced kitties.
Or skip the paper and postage, and go totally green. Create an email invite featuring your cat's photo and all the party 411. If you have time to produce it, opt for a video invitation featuring your cat. Position him with cue cards spelling out the party details. Add a music clip -- maybe Lesley Gore's "It's My Party" -- and hit the send button.
